Five-star shooting guard says family is big for him in recruitment

This five-star recruiting target talked about what the UNC basketball program had to offer and a ‘family’ environment is important.

With two five-star recruits already committed in 2023, Hubert Davis and his UNC basketball staff are off to a great start in that class. But building on that will be key for the head coach.

The 2024 class is a loaded one and already UNC is starting to pursue some of their top targets. Among those targes is five-star shooting guard Cam Scott who is ranked as a Top 30 player on most recruiting sites.

The Lexington, South Carolina native has a total of 12 offers in his recruitment including one from UNC. But what does UNC offer that has Scott impressed?

The recruit talked to Jamie Shaw of On3 to break down his recruitment and had this to say about the Tar Heels:

North Carolina: “The blue everywhere when I went up there stood out; it was pretty unique. Walking into the stadium and just feeling the energy, knowing you will get that every night, every game. They all play for each other, and they all play as one. Family is a big thing for me; playing on a team that you know has your back is big for me.”

Along with UNC, programs like Florida State, Tennessee, Clemson and South Carolina are making a strong push. It’s too early to say who is the favorite right now, but the family comment should be considered good news for UNC.
