5-star point guard Jaden Bradley has announced dates to visit the UNC basketball program and three others in June.

Jaden Bradley, one of the top point guards in the class of 2022, has set dates to officially visit the University of North Carolina and three other schools in the month of June. He’ll be in Chapel Hill from June 15-17 — a trip that’s sandwiched between visits to Alabama (June 11-13) and Arizona (June 18-20). He will kick off his busy month with a trip to Ann Arbor to visit the Michigan Wolverines from June 4-6.

A 6-foot-3, 178-pound senior at IMG Academy, Bradley received a scholarship offer from former North Carolina head coach Roy Williams back in March of 2020. 16 months later and following an NCAA dead period that spanned more than a year, Bradley is now hoping to whittle down his list of programs following visits to some of his top contenders. Fortunately for Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels, they happen to be on that short list.

Current Crystal Ball predictions favor the Kentucky Wildcats over the Tar Heels by a tally of two votes to one — the latter coming from CatsPause recruiting insider Chris Fisher on May 31. That’s certainly a welcomed sight for Tar Heel fans as it’s highly likely that their team could be in need of another top tier floor general after the coming season. Bradley could certainly fill that role.

A terrific pass-first lead guard with a versatile skill set, Bradley can dribble, pass and score from all three levels. He’s good at running the fast break, driving the lane through traffic and scoring in transition. He’s a good rebounder for his size, and has terrific court vision. Despite being a capable scorer, Bradley’s biggest contribution on the court is his ability to manage and facilitate the offense. He has a chance to be an elite playmaker at the college level.

Bradley is the No. 9 prospect in the class of 2022 according to the 247Sports Composite. He’s the second-ranked point guard in the nation, and No. 4 overall in the state of Florida.
