When it comes to recruiting, we will start making predictions based on multiple The Ball Out sources. So with that being said, here is our inaugural prediction article featuring Blanca Thomas.

Blanca Thomas’ impending decision

As a standout at Charlotte Central Catholic High School, Blanca Thomas has been making waves in the world of girl’s basketball. As the nation’s No. 10 girl’s basketball recruit in the 2024 class, according to ESPN, she has attracted attention from top college programs nationwide.

However, The Ball Out predicts a 99.9% chance that Thomas will choose to stay in-state and commit to the University of North Carolina on Monday.

This decision would be a massive get for head coach Courtney Banghart and the Tar Heels, as they manage to keep one of the most promising talents in the state, especially after Thomas recently visited women’s basketball power Tennessee. With Thomas on board, North Carolina’s girl’s basketball program could continue to rise in prominence on the national stage.

Blanca Thomas’s success on the court speaks for itself. She has racked up numerous accolades and achievements at Charlotte Central Catholic High School. As a versatile player with exceptional skills in scoring, and rebounding, Thomas has been a force to be reckoned with throughout her high school career.

She has helped lead her team to multiple conference championships and deep playoff runs, solidifying her status as a top prospect in the 2024 class.

If our prediction holds, her commitment to North Carolina would not only significantly boost the Tar Heels’ roster but also send a clear message to other top in-state recruits that North Carolina is the place to be for women’s basketball.

By securing a commitment from Thomas, Coach Banghart would be making a statement about the program’s future and her ability to attract elite talent.
