The UNC basketball program already holds the top class in 2024, but it is still pushing hard for the finishing touches.
One of those pieces is five-star forward [autotag]Jarin Stevenson[/autotag]. Stevenson is ranked as the No. 14 player on the 247Sports composite and the No. 2 power forward in the class.
The Tar Heels have been involved with Stevenson longer than nearly every prospect in the 2024 class.
To this point, there has been no commitment or feel when he will announce a decision. That hasn’t stopped the Tar Heels from trying, however.
“They’re pushing for it,” Stevenson said of UNC’s staff wanting him to commit.
The North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year this season playing for Seaforth (NC) averaged 21.5 points and 11.6 rebounds per game this season.
North Carolina, Georgetown, Missouri, NC State, Virginia and Wake Forest, among others, are after Stevenson.
The pro option is also a route the family is considering, but it seems the secondary thought at the moment. A potential reclassification is on the table as well, but Stevenson has been open about wanting to take his time and not rush into anything.
For now, it’s wait-and-see with Stevenson. But, there’s no doubt that North Carolina and Hubert Davis want Stevenson in Chapel Hill.
