UNC basketball grabs lead in On3 prediction for five-star recruit

Is the UNC basketball program in the lead for this five-star recruit that could be ready to make a decision?

With a three-man class in the 2024 basketball recruiting cycle, North Carolina currently holds the No. 1 class. But Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels may not be done just yet.

North Carolina is still in pursuit of five-star recruit Jarin Stevenson and it sounds like this recruitment might be coming to an end soon. According to Jamie Shaw of On3, the Tar Heels are battling it out with Alabama to land the talented in-state recruit.

Looking at Stevenson’s On3 profile, the Tar Heels also have the lead in the recruiting prediction machine. UNC holds a 29.8 percent edge over Virginia who is at 26 percent.

The Tar Heels took the lead back in late May and with Stevenson on UNC’s campus early in June, they might be the favorite here this Summer.

Stevenson hasn’t officially announced a decision date just yet and technically, he could still reclassify, but this is a recruitment that feels like it will end sooner than later. And if UNC can pull it off, it would just add another five-star to their already talented class.
