Five-star UNC basketball target opens up about visits

Bryson Tiller’s recruitment is moving forward with visits but the UNC basketball program appears to be fading.

One of the prospects on North Carolina’s 2025 recruiting big board is five-star power forward Bryson Tiller. The Atlanta native received his offer from North Carolina a year ago but since then, things have been quiet for the Tar Heels in his recruitment.

Tiller doesn’t appear to be a priority for North Carolina as interest has likely fallen off but he did leave the door open for visits to ‘other programs’ in a recent interview.

Eric Bossi of 247Sports caught up with Tiller at the Under Armour Association near Atlanta where the recruit was sidelined with an injury for the event. He talked about the visits he’s taken so far and ones on his schedule, which don’t include UNC. He then revealed he could take visits to a couple of other schools:

Moving forward, Tiller’s priority is getting healthy and back onto the floor. Once that happens, he and his family will take another look at his recruitment and get a better idea for a timeline and which additional visits he’ll take.

“I’d like to take maybe a couple more visits to some of the schools I’ve been to or a couple of other schools as well,” said Tiller. “Just to learn more about development and about how I would get there, get better and get to the next level.”

Tiller didn’t mention UNC specifically and it does sound like they do have ground to make up if they are to continue to pursue him.

If things stay quiet in his recruitment from a UNC perspective, then they could be out of the running.
