Published: June 10, 2008
North Carolina has made a major addition to its 2009 basketball recruiting class by receiving a commitment from Leslie McDonald, a 6-4 combination guard from Memphis.
McDonald visited UNC and Duke on his own over the weekend. He was interested in Georgetown also but said he knew what decision to make after his weekend visits.
"I visited with the coaching staff and I just felt real welcome at North Carolina," McDonald said. "I felt welcome at Duke as well but I had, I don't know, just a gut feeling about North Carolina.
"I told myself, `This could be the school that's best for me.' I just had to go with my gut feeling."
Williams had told McDonald that he considered him the final piece in a 2009 recruiting class ranked No. 1 by most basketball recruiting analysts.
UNC also has in the class John Henson, a 6-10 center from Round Rock, Texas; Dexter Strickland, a 6-3 guard from Elizabeth, N.J.; and David and Travis Wear, 6-9 twins from Santa Ana, Calif.
