The recruitment of former Stanford forward Harrison Ingram has started to pick up over the past few days. Harrison is set to hold in-home visits starting Friday with several programs, including North Carolina which will be in Texas to see him.
From there, he plans to officially visit Kansas on Monday, and a decision could come after that. But it may not be good news for the Tar Heels.
The general consensus is Ingram will decide between UNC and Kansas. Right now, the Jayhawks appear to have the lead.
The Jayhawks picked up two crystal ball predictions on 247Sports during the previous two days. They hold the lone predictions going into the weekend.
On Thursday, Duke contributor Chad Lykins made his prediction for Kansas. On Friday morning, Kansas insider Michael Swain logged his prediction, a bad sign for the Tar Heels.
Now, crystal ball predictions aren’t a guarantee. UNC fans found that out recently by landing one for transfer Nick Timberlake. The forward still hasn’t made a decision and took visits to both Kansas and UConn. In Ingram’s situation, this prediction coming from a Kansas insider shouldn’t make UNC fans feel good about it all.
However, the thing to note is there is still an in-home visit with UNC and then an on-campus visit at Kansas for Ingram. There’s time left in the recruitment but it sounds like UNC has some ground to make up.
