Five-star recruit sets official visit to UNC for Late Night With Roy

Five-star power forward Jared Vanderbilt will take an official visit to the University of North Carolina to attend “Late Night With Roy”.

The annual event held on the UNC campus is known to bring in a number of big-time recruits each season, often working as the determining factor in a prospect’s decision.

That is precisely what the Tar Heels coaching staff will be hoping for with the 6-foot-8, 200-pound Vanderbilt. A consensus five-star player in the class of 2017, Vanderbilt would give the Tar Heels the size and star power that they are looking for in next year’s freshman class.

Already committed to UNC from the class of 2017 is point guard Jalek Felton, shooting guard Andrew Platek and power forward Brandon Huffman.

A commitment from Vanderbilt would inevitably move the Tar Heels’ 2017 class ranking into the top-10.

Vanderbilt currently has offers from a number of other schools including Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Oregon and Texas. He has dates set to visit Arizona and Texas within the next month and plans to visit Kentucky shortly after. He’ll take his final official visit to either Kansas or Oregon.
