5-Star target talks highly of Tar Heels

Hubert Davis watches five-star on Sunday

With the 2021-22 UNC basketball season in the books, the focus for the program turns to the future of the roster. That includes future recruiting classes like 2024.

Right now, UNC has yet to land a commitment from a prospect in the 2024 cycle but they have their eyes on a few prospects including in-state five-star forward Jarin Stevenson. The Pittsboro prospect is right in UNC’s backyard and the Tar Heels officially offered him last year. Since then, Stevenson’s recruitment has picked up a bit and he now has a total of four offers with other programs showing interest.

But where do things stand with Stevenson?

On3 recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw caught up with Stevenson at the Big Shots Tip-off to talk recruiting. And Stevenson called it a ‘blessing’ to be recruited by North Carolina:

UNC: “They are great people over there. Whenever I talk to them, they are very friendly. I love their facilities. It is a blessing to be recruited by UNC. I watched them all growing up, so I am familiar with them, but I am definitely wide open to everyone. There are a lot of greats, a lot of NBA players who came out of there.”

As well as North Carolina, Stevenson has offers from Wake Forest, N.C. State and Virginia while Cincinnati, Florida State, Notre Dame, and Indiana are also showing interest in him.
