The UNC basketball program already holds two commitments for the class of 2023, both from five-star prospects. Could another five-star be joining them soon?
The Tar Heels have been very active in pursuing five-star wing [autotag]Matas Buzelis[/autotag]. Even both commits GG Jackson and Simeon Wilcher have been vocal about their desire to get him to Chapel Hill.
Buzelis recently announced a final list of UNC, Kentucky, Wake Forest, Florida State and a professional route with G-League Ignite.
However, there is a key Crystal Ball prediction in for Buzelis to go the professional route from 247Sports national recruiting analyst Travis Branham.
Buzelis recently broke down UNC’s recruitment of him.
“(Hubert Davis) message is that they want me. I talk to (Simeon Wilcher, GG Jackson) maybe once a week and they say that they want me.”
Buzelis is a 6-foot-9 wing ranked No. 7 in the 247Sports class of 2023 rankings.
Time will tell, but it is clear that the G-League is a real option for Buzelis and could be the clear favorite for the five-star prospect.
The Tar Heels already hold the No. 2 overall recruiting class in both Rivals and 247Sports team rankings for 2023, so landing a commitment from Buzelis would surely give the Heels the top-rated class.
