Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball staff were in Orlando this weekend to watch the EYBL event and some top recruiting targets. As they watched players like G.G. Jackson, Simeon Wilcher and Naas Cunningham, another recruit peaked their interest as well.
Four-star power forward Zayden Highwas on UNC’s radar this weekend as the staff watched him and is now showing some interest in the Texas native early in his recruitment. During the event, High caught up with Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers to talk about the interest he’s receiving. And he had an interesting comment about the Tar Heels:
And who are the newest schools, since this weekend?
“Texas, North Carolina, Creighton, Alabama, Wake Forest, Texas Tech, TCU, Kansas State, and there are a couple of other schools I’m supposed to talk to today .”
You now said UNC has entered your recruitment, discuss that and what that means to you?
”Crazy (pauses), been a dream since I was a little kid to even have an interest from the same school Michael Jordan went to.”
The 6-foot-9, 225-pound prospect has a total of 15 offers so far in his recruitment with the Tar Heels yet to officially offer. But the latest involvement should lead to an offer from Davis and the staff down the line.
High is certainly someone to keep an eye on for the Tar Heels moving forward.
