While the transfer portal is as busy as ever, there are still a handful of uncommitted high school seniors in the class of 2023. And the UNC basketball program will be receiving a visit from one of the better shooters in the class.
Three-star wing [autotag]Brady Dunlap[/autotag] was offered from UNC just recently and has also scheduled a visit to Chapel Hill. Dunlap will be on campus at the end of the month on April 30.
On Thursday, Dunlap released his top five. The schools included are North Carolina, Penn State, St. John’s, Villanova and Nebraska.
Dunlap spoke with 247Sports and broke down his impression of the Tar Heels and head coach Hubert Davis.
“Hubert Davis told me they have a need for shooting in general. He read me off statistics about their team last year and how they need shooters. They feel I can fit into the equation and add that piece to the team. That was my biggest takeaway. He obviously evaluated my game and went into detail about it. He watched a lot of film on me and having his recognition on how I could fit in was the biggest takeaway from our conversation.”
Dunlap is ranked as the No. 128 player in the 247Sports class of 2023 rankings. He was originally a Notre Dame commit but re-opened his recruitment after head coach Mike Brey retired.
North Carolina is coming off of a horrendous shooting season, connecting on just 31.2 percent of its 3s.
Playing alongside Bronny James for Strive For Greatness on the Nike EYBL circuit last summer, Dunlap averaged 16.0 points and 2.4 rebounds per game. He shot 46 percent from the field and 34 percent from three.
The Tar Heels currently have a two-man high school class for 2023 with four-star prospects Simeon Wilcher and Zayden High.
