The UNC Basketball program will welcome two recruits for their regular season finale against Wake Forest on Tuesday night in Chapel Hill

The North Carolina Tar Heels are getting ready to begin the final week of the 2019-20 Atlantic Coast Conference regular season before the tournament in Greensboro next week. With just two games left, the Tar Heels are hoping to end the season on a good note and make a run in the ACC Tournament.

That run begins on Tuesday night against Wake Forest, a team they are chasing to avoid finishing dead last in the conference. It’s also senior night in the Dean Dome.

With the final regular season home game taking place on Tuesday, head coach Roy Williams and his staff are using it as an opportunity to get a pair of recruits on campus for unofficial visits.

Per Corey Evans of Rivals, the Tar Heels are set to host five-star 2022 guard Jaden Bradley and his teammate, fellow 2020 recruit D.J. Nix:

The duo play together at Cannon School in Charlotte, North Carolina and are both in the 2022 class.

Bradley is one of the top players in the class, ranking No. 8 overall and No. 1 in the state of North Carolina in the 247 recruiting rankings. This will be the second time Bradley has been on UNC’s campus for an unofficial visit, taking a visit in February for the game against Duke.

Nix is currently unranked by 247 Sports but has put together a fantastic sophomore season in Charlotte. The forward was named a standout in the Phenom Showcase back in November and has continued his hot play this season.

While the Tar Heels currently don’t have a commit in 2021 or 2022, Bradley is a very important in-state recruit. Besides the obvious of him being ranked the No. 1 player in the state, Bradley is very smooth on the court with his game and has proven to be a legit scorer from almost anywhere on the floor. Having him on campus for the second time is good news for UNC but they have yet to officially offer him.
