Bradley is ranked the No. 7 power forward in the Class of 2016 by 247Sports.com.
He also considered Kansas, Alabama, Florida State and USF, among others.
“He is a great big man who plays with his back to the basket and is a high IQ kid,” E1T1 coach Steve Reese told SNY.tv. “He works his butt off, he just works his butt off. He’s a great character kid as well.”
Bradley, who is Carolina’s first pledge in the Class of 2016, told 247Sports.com he will bring a diverse skill set as well.
“I can run the floor, I work hard, and I rebound well,” he said last month. “I can shoot the hook, over my left and right shoulders. I can shoot the three and the mid-range shot too.”
“I can even handle the ball,” he added. “Most people don’t know that I can handle the ball. A lot of coaches look at me to stay in the post, set screens, and role off of it. But not too many people know that I can handle the ball well and I can get the rebound and go coast to coast. I do that in high school.”
Tony Bradley, a 6-foot-10 power forward from Bartow (FL), has committed to North Carolina.
