UNC basketball is out of running for 2025 in-state recruit

The top player in the state of North Carolina released his top 7 schools list, not including the UNC basketball program.

Hubert Davis and the North Carolina Tar Heels showed a little interest in a four-star recruit in the state of North Carolina. However, after watching Sadiq White a few times, the Tar Heels never offered.

Now, they are out of the running for the talented power forward.

The Charlotte native released his top schools list, cutting the field from 17 to seven. White took to X (formerly Twitter) to release the list: LSU, Alabama, Arkansas, Syracuse, Georgetown, Texas and Tennessee.

As you see, the list is very SEC-heavy. Just one Atlantic Coast Conference team, Syracuse, made the list.

The 6-foot-8, 180-pound White is ranked No. 25 overall and No. 5 among power forwards nationally and No. 1 in the state of North Carolina per the 247Sports.

The Tar Heels never offered White, so it wasn’t shocking to see them left off this list. The Tar Heels watched him at a few events and expressed some interest, but it never reached the level of serious interest.
