Roy Williams visits five-star prospect from class of 2019

Roy Williams was in town Tuesday to visit elite 2019 prospect Matthew Hurt.

Hurt, a 6-foot-9, 195-pound small forward is the fourth best player in the class of 2019 according to the 247Sports Composite ranking. He’s considered the second best small forward in the class.

Hurt played up two age groups on the 17-and-under circuit over the summer and performed admirably. He’s got a nice jump shot and runs the floor well. He’s a good rebounder and capable defender, too.

Hurt is a relative newcomer on the recruiting scene, as many are still unfamiliar with the high school sophomore.

Despite his age, he already holds offers from Arizona, Kansas, Louisville, Minnesota and North Carolina. The 247Sports Crystal Ball currently shows Kansas as the likely destination for the talented big man.
