Not only is it in the middle of a key month for recruiting, it’s also a time where multiple prospects look to announce their moves to different high schools and prep schools.
One of those prospects is a key UNC basketball target in the class of 2024.
Rockingham, North Carolina native [autotag]Paul McNeil[/autotag] announced this week that he would be transferring to Prolific Prep (Ca.) for this upcoming year.
McNeil doesn’t hold an offer from North Carolina but has already visited Chapel Hill and has had regular communication with head coach Hubert Davis in recent weeks.
McNeil previously dished on his visit to UNC and what his takeaways were.
“Man, that was good. It was like the practice was really intense. When they run, they run hard and have to make it in certain times. How they flow, how they get their shots in practice I really like how that was.”
McNeil is ranked the No. 16 prospect in the class of 2024 in the 247Sports rankings. He was ranked the No.1 player in North Carolina.
The 6-foot-6 guard has offers from Indiana, LSU, Florida State, Clemson, NC State, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Missouri and more.
