August 1 marked the new recruiting calendar which meant rising juniors could start taking official visits. For one four-star center, he wasted no time in scheduling his official visit to UNC basketball and Chapel Hill.
2024 four-star prospect [autotag]James Brown[/autotag] will take his official visit to North Carolina on October 15th, according to Rivals’ David Sisk.
Brown holds offers from Duke, Michigan State, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Notre Dame and others.
The 6-foot-9 center is ranked No. 31 in the Rivals class of 2024 rankings. He is also ranked as the No. 4 center and the No. 1 player in Illinois. He plays for St. Rita (IL).
Brown recently discussed his recruitment and North Carolina with On3.com.
“I know a lot historically about the program, with their success and their many great players but that’s another school I’m prepared to learn a lot about,” Brown said of UNC. “That’s a school that I like, even outside of their basketball success but educational success as well. That’s something that’s really important to me and my family, athletics, but education as well. I’m really excited to get to know Coach (Hubert) Davis and his staff and the whole Carolina program.”
Brown has said previously that North Carolina was a ‘dream school’ of his growing up.
Brown took an unofficial visit to Illinois earlier this week and has an official visit scheduled to Missouri Oct. 1.
