With 22 scholarship offers out for the 2016 class, it can be a bit difficult to keep up with the status of the recruits. The Roy's Radar section of this website is an excellent resource to get insight from Clint Jackson on what type of game each player has. Here is a breakdown of players focusing specifically on schools they are considering and general perception of who are "leaders" at this stage of their recruitment.
Rawle Alkins - #9 - UK, Kansas, UNC, St. Johns, Villanova, Louisville, Maryland. Alkins still has a pretty lengthy list. I don't have a strong opinion on where his recruitment stands. This could be one that doesn't play out until late spring. If I were to guess I would say St. John's.
Jarrett Allen - #20 - Baylor, Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Houston, UNC, Notre Dame all on his list. Kentucky has gotten a bit of steam lately but IMO it will be Texas.
Udoka Azubuike - #27 - UNC, NC State, Kansas, Florida State and Kentucky are the schools that are considered players for Azubuike. Florida State is strong but I think it's still open.
Committed to North Carolina:
Toney Bradley Jr. - #30 - Commitment to UNC September 2nd, 2015.
Seventh Woods - #36 - Committed to UNC November 11th, 2015.
Brandon Robinson - #78 - Commitment to UNC September 28th, 2015.
Players that have eliminated UNC from contention:
Harry Giles - Rivals ranked #2 - Committed to Duke on November 6th.
Jayson Tatum - #3 - Eliminated UNC July 12th when he committed to Duke.
Dennis Smith Jr. - #4 - Eliminated UNC September 10th when he committed to NC State
De'Aaron Fox - #5 - Committed to UK November 11th.
Malik Monk - #6 - Committed to UK November 19th
Bam - #7 - Committed to UK November 19th
Miles Bridges - #11 - Eliminated UNC September 14th when he cut his list to UK, MSU and Indiana
Terrance Ferguson - #12 - Eliminated UNC August 17th when he committed to Alabama.
Markelle Fultz - #13 - Eliminated UNC August 21st when he committed to Washington
Marques Bolden - #16 - Eliminated UNC August 31st. Main players are UK, Duke and Kansas.
Wenyan Gabriel - #17 - Eliminated UNC August 12th, less than 2 weeks after receiving a UNC offer. Duke is the perceived leader here with UK also in the mix.
Kobi Simmons - #19 - Eliminated UNC August 28th. UK, Ohio State and UNLV still in the mix.
Duwan Huell - #23 - Committed to Miami November 19th.
Sacha Killeya-Jones - #26 - Eliminated UNC August 19th when he committed to UK.
Juwan Durham - #31 - Eliminated UNC September 1st when he committed to UConn.
Javin Delaurier - #43 - Eliminated UNC September 27th when he committed to Duke.
Lauri Markkanen - NR - Eliminated UNC October 17th when he committed to Arizona.
