UNC heading to Chicago to meet with five-star recruit’s parents

Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball program are set to visit the parents of five-star recruit Matas Buzelis on Friday in Chicago.

Hubert Davis and North Carolina landed a big commitment in the 2023 class when five-star forward G.G. Jackson committed. But now, the Tar Heels have their sights set on adding to the class even more.

Per Jeff Borzello, the Tar Heels are heading to Chicago on Thursday to meet with the parents of five-star recruit Matas Buzelis for a special in-home visit.

The 6-foot-9, 175-pound Buzelis is ranked No. 5 by 247Sports in their recruiting rankings. He has a total of 13 offers in his recruitment with blue blood programs like UNC, Duke, and Kentucky all after him among others out there.

Buzelis’ recruitment has been quiet as of late as the Brewster Academy product wrapped up his junior season there. But now, things are starting to pick up and that includes a visit from UNC.

It’s tough to tell where the Tar Heels stand in this race exactly but they do have a lot of interest in the highly-rated recruit. With room in 2023 to add more, landing Buzelis would be huge for Davis and his staff.
