With two five-star recruits already committed in [autotag]G.G. Jackson[/autotag] and Simeon Wilcher, the UNC basketball program is off to a hot start in the 2023 cycle.
But Hubert Davis and his staff aren’t done yet adding to what will be a very important class. And they have their eyes on another five-star prospect.
Matas Buzelis is the top target left on UNC’s board for the 2023 class and while his recruitment has been silent of late, Jackson is trying to do his part in convincing him to join the Tar Heels’ class. Jackson told Jacob Turner of Tar Heels Illustrated that he is actively recruiting Buzelis:
“We’re working on Matas right now; Matas Buzelis.” (Smiling again)
This fits in line with what Wilcher said earlier this month on a podcast appearance as well. The duo are hoping that Buzelis joins them and boosts UNC ‘s 2023 class.
Buzelis is ranked No. 6 nationally, No. 3 small forward and the No. 1 player in the state of new Hampshire per the 247Sports rankings. He has a total of 13 offers so far as UNC, Kentucky, and Duke among others have offered.
