Class of 2019 point guard Cole Anthony took a surprise visit to North Carolina on Wednesday and was sitting courtside as the Tar Heels took on UNC Wilmington.

Anthony is the No. 3 overall prospect and No. 1 combo guard in the nation. This is the third visit to Chapel Hill in the last four months for the 6-foot-3, 184-pound 247Sports Composite five-star prospect. He took an unofficial visit in August and an official visit on Sept. 28.

He plans to decide in the spring and has narrowed his list down to six schools. UNC is joined by Georgetown, Oregon, Miami, Wake Forest, and Notre Dame.

After his UNC official visit, Anthony told 247 Sports: “I really loved it down there. Coach [Roy] Williams and the staff really made me feel a part of the family and I feel like I belong there

Anthony is the son of former NBA and UNLV star Greg Anthony. He is playing his high school ball at Oak Hill Academy after transferring from Archbishop Molloy in Queens, N.Y.

North Carolina has made Anthony a top priority in the 2019 class. The Tar Heels have two commitments for this cycle and are looking to add as many as three more players, with offers indicating a need for a perimeter scorer and a versatile forward. Anthony is ranked as a combo guard because of his ability to play point guard, but also score at a high level.

Thus far, three-star point guard Jeremiah Francis and five-star big man Armando Bacot have signed with North Carolina for the 2019 class. Bacot is good friends with Anthony and has been a relentless recruiter in recent months, including while joining Anthony on his official visit.

Inside Carolina Contributor Rob Harrington on Cole Anthony

“Most legacy prospects are unable to match the exploits of their famous parent, but Cole Anthony is the rare case of someone who may be as good or even slightly superior to his old man. Although his father Greg was a long-time NBA performer — and current NBA analyst — Cole actually may be the more dynamic overall player. He’s a quick and very skilled handler who has all the moves and finishes aggressively in traffic, and he’s an exquisite rebounder for his size, illustrating his toughness. He oozes confidence and has accepted all challenges, given that he has a target on his back because of both his talent and his last name. He has improved his shooting and is now a legitimate threat from 23 feet as well. In short, he’s an elite player who has justified his elite national stature time and time again.”
