North Carolina got started early in the 2018 class, already landing commitments from a pair of talented guards. And one of those two guards was named among the top junior players in the country by MaxPreps Tuesday.

The site released its annual Junior All-American Team, with Coby White earning honorable mention designation. The 6-foot-4 in-state guard earned kudos for his monster year with Greenfield in Wilson (NC).

Of White’s year, MaxPreps wrote, “North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year produced 31.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.”

White is currently ranked as the No. 2 combo guard and No. 49 overall player in the 2018 247Sports Composite.
