UNC basketball transfer target set to decide this week

A UNC basketball recruiting target announces he will make a decision this week after taking visits.t

The recruitment for transfer portal wing Nick Timberlake will come to an end very soon.

After Timberlake visited UConn this past weekend, the wing says he is ready to decide. He took to Twitter on Sunday night to reveal he plans to make a decision this week. Timberlake did not reveal the date he will announce, but teams know he’s ready.

The 6-foot-4, 205-pound wing has taken three visits in his new recruitment after entering the portal. He visited UNC a few weeks back and then took a visit to Kansas before his final visit to UConn this week. Timberlake is among the top wings in the transfer portal, and he would be a big get for whatever program he picks.

North Carolina has a big need for a wing for the upcoming season. While it has already landed one commit, getting Timberlake would be huge.

Hubert Davis and his staff have the task of filling roster spots with six players entering the portal and two others graduating.
