The UNC basketball program is hoping to add one more player to its 2023 recruiting class, one that just has Simeon Wilcher committed. And they might just be the favorites for that remaining target.
On3 recruiting expert Jamie Shaw broke down the recruitment for Zayden High and where things possibly stand as of this month. High recently took a visit to North Carolina as he was on campus for what was supposed to be the Live Action event before it was rescheduled. High and his family reportedly enjoyed the visit and it may have been enough to catapult UNC into the lead.
Shaw wrote on the top three teams involved, UNC, Villanova, and Michigan, offering his thoughts on where things stand. And it’s GREAT news for UNC fans:
He does not have a commitment date set, and he says he wants to visit Arkansas before his commitment. It serves to be monitored if he does set, and take, that Arkansas visit. However, until then, UNC is trending in this recruitment.
While there are still a couple moving pieces which is why I am not quite ready to put in my expert pick into On3s Recruiting Prediciton Machine, things are moving in that direction. Watch for UNC as the current leader in the clubhouse for Zayden High, but do keep an eye on Arkansas.
Interesting.
It sounds like UNC has jumped into the lead in this recruitment with their biggest competition being Arkansas. Like it did with UNC, a good visit to Arkansas could change a lot of things.
However, the Tar Heels have to feel good with where things stand with this four-star recruiting target.
