The annual Nike Peach Jam event is one of the biggest AAU events of the entire year as some of the top recruits descend on South Carolina for the event each July. And this year, a UNC basketball commit is making some noise early on.
Five-star guard Simeon Wilcher is off to a fast start for City Rocks in the event. On Saturday, Wilcher flirted with a triple-double as he scored 14 points, grabbed 7 rebounds and 7 assists. He followed that up with a big scoring performance, dropping 30 points on 83% shooting from the field during a game on Sunday in a win.

Wilcher is UNC’s lone commit here in the 2023 class after G.G. Jackson announced his de-commitment from the program a week ago. However, Wilcher continues to improve his overall game and should climb the recruiting rankings when it’s all said and done.
The New Jersey native has been on a tear of late and that’s great news for the future of UNC’s program.
