#UNC commit Maximo Adams (6'8", 205 lbs) was as dominant as any prospect in the last EYBL circuit.

Averaged 20.5 points and 11.4 rebounds on absurd efficiency (60.0% eFG, 58.1% 2P, 42.2% 3P, 74.2% FT)—strong lower body and core, elite footwork and touch. Not the greatest athlete, but someone who just produces.

Super underrated as a four-star. Here are the highlights from his 38/17 game against Jordan Smith Jr. and Team Takeover.

Maximo Adams told ESPN.

“I’ve always wanted to play for the Tar Heels. It was my dream school growing up, and I’m excited to be coached by Coach Malone.”

Adams is currently the No. 21 prospect in the SC Next 100. He is highly skilled, with touch from beyond the arc and in the paint, and he rebounds his position consistently well. This is significant news for the Tar Heels.

UNC’s 2026 class (via On3)

5⭐️ PG Dylan Mingo (6th overall)
4⭐️ SF Maximo Adams (22nd overall)

Mingo is shifty with the ball in his hands & a crafty finisher, and Maximo is a very underrated prospect in this class. This is a strong freshmen duo 🐏

[League Ready @LeagueRDY]

With Dylan Mingo's commitment to North Carolina the Tar Heels have a big time duo headed to Chapel Hill 👀 🔥
