    Brice Johnson is a Tar Heel.

    The 6-foot-9, 200-pound power forward ranked No. 15 at his position by Rivals tweeted the news Wednesday morning.

    “I will be a UNC Tar Heel,” tweeted Johnson, from Cordova (S.C.) Edisto High.

    Having chosen the Heels over N.C. State and Florida, Johnson joins a stacked recruiting class for Roy Williams that includes center Joel James, point guard Marcus Paige and wing J.P. Tokoto.

    “He’s a terrific up and down the court player,” ACC recruiting analyst Brick Oettinger told ACCSports.com. “He plays hard the whole time. He’s slender now but he’s a wiry guy. He’s tougher than he looks and he’s extremely aggressive around the basket. And he’s not a bad shooter.

    “If he improves his shot out to 3-point range then we might be talking about him down the road as a combo forward. Right now he’s a four.”
