Six years ago, there was a No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft, a future ACC Player of the Year, and three players who helped form the nucleus of North Carolina's back-to-back Final Four teams in 2015-16 and 2016-17.

Four years ago, there were three future McDonald's All-Americans, three first-round draft picks, and a third-team All-American who hit one of the biggest shots in Carolina history.

Two years ago, there were two McDonald's All-Americans, a first round draft pick, the consensus choice for the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft, and one of the best freshman point guards in North Carolina history.

It's obvious, when North Carolina hosts Duke on the regular season's final Saturday every other year, elite recruits flock to Chapel Hill. This year's edition won't be any different, as the Carolina coaches use the atmosphere, stage, and media hype surrounding the sport's most well-known rivalry to help get highly-rated prospects on campus.
