The UNC Basketball program will host their rival Duke on Saturday night in Chapel Hill and a five-star recruiting target will be on campus for the showdown

The North Carolina Tar Heels are beginning a tough stretch this week with a road game at No. 5 Florida State on Monday night and then will follow that up by hosting their rival Duke at home in the Dean Dome on Saturday.

While the Tar Heels’ NCAA Tournament chances are going down the drain, they have the chance to shake things up in the Atlantic Coast Conference this week. And when Duke and UNC matchup, it’s usually a really good game and great atmosphere.

That should be the case again on Saturday and when UNC hosts Duke and there will be a Tar Heels’ recruiting target in attendance.

Per 247 Sports recruiting analyst Brian Snow, the Tar Heels are hosting five-star small forward Harrison Ingram on Saturday night for their showdown with Duke. Here is what Ingram told Snow in the article:

"“I will be taking an unofficial visit this weekend to North Carolina for their game against Duke,” Ingram informed 247Sports.When asked what he is looking forward to seeing, Ingram said, “I’ll just be looking forward to seeing such a prestigious program, and what they have to offer!”"

Ingram is ranked as the No. 16 overall recruit according to the 247 Sports Composite rankings and is the No. 1 player in the state of Texas. He has a total of 21 offers in his recruitment including from Memphis, Texas Tech, Florida, Kansas, Texas, UCLA, Georgetown and Stanford among others but does not have one from North Carolina.

This will also be the first visit for Ingram in 2020 and he should be making plenty more before he makes his final decision and picks a program.
