There are only 17 of the Rivals top 80 recruits who remain uncommitted. And 9 of those uncommitted are in the top 20, so most of what is left are big swings at elite recruits.
Looking at teh ACC, Notre Dame leads the way with UNC right behind:
Virginia Tech has grabbed up 4 ranked players recently:
Stanford is in rebuilding mode as well and they got some quality as well:
Cal has #51 Amelia Sow, GT #71 Dasia Scott and right now for the ACC that is it.
That means that Louisville, dook and NCSU so far have not landed anyone.
Louisville is believed to have a legit shot at the #1 overall player, Kaleena Smith. Land her and it is a great class. They already landed Maria Carbo, a promising F from Spain. She is on their U18 team. I thought she was going to play this season, but I do not see her on the roster. So I assume 2027.
dook is still a finalist for multiple top 20 players; do not rule them out just yet.
NCSU is running out of options, but also has hope. Although Qandace Samuels has a sister on the NCSU roster and NCSU is one of 10 finalists (like UNC) they seem to be on the outside looking in like us; she has logged 6 OV's, but they have not included UNC, NCSU nor UVA. They are a finalist (top 6) for #17 De'Andrea Minor. Their best shot appears to be #60 PG Chance Berry, who just OV'd to State this past week. Cuse is also among the finalists.
