The second live evaluation period is upon the basketball world this weekend and that means it’s another chance for the UNC basketball staff to get on the road and watch recruits in person.
On Friday night, UNC assistant coach Sean May was in person to see 2024 five-star forward [autotag]Jason Asemota[/autotag]. Asemota is the No. 12 player in the class of 2024 rankings for 247Sports and the No. 5 small forward.
This is the second live evaluation period this spring that the staff had eyes on him. This time, he didn’t disappoint, scoring 36 points on 14-of-19 from the field.

He averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds per game last season as he helped lead Hillcrest to a 31-3 record this past season.
Asemota already holds numerous offers including Kansas, Oregon, Arizona State, Ohio State, Auburn, Florida, Illinois, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Memphis among others.
He is eyeing a visit to North Carolina and this showing in front of the UNC staff could expedite that process.
