Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball recruiting team were very active at this week’s Peach Jam event. Which players were they focusing on?

Like most college coaches across the country, Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball recruiting team spent the week in Augusta, South Carolina.

As Nike’s EYBL Peach Jam featured some of the top high school prospects from across the country, this event served as a great opportunity for the Tar Heels coaching staff to identify players who they believe fit what the program is looking for.

Now, you’re probably wondering (if you haven’t read some of our articles over the last few days!) who Davis and his staff were keeping a close eye on over the past week. Courtesy of On3’s Jamie Shaw, here’s a breakdown of the players (with On3’s star ratings) the Tar Heels spent time watching.

* Denotes players who have received an offer from the UNC basketball program

Class of 2023

Four-star power forward Zayden High (Team JL3)*
Four-star power forward TJ Power (Team BABC)*
Four-star guard Simeon Wilcher (Team City Rocks) *Committed to North Carolina*

Class of 2024

Five-star point guard Elliot Cadeau (NH Lightning 17u)*
Five-star point guard Boogie Fland (PSA Cardinals 16u)
Five-star shooting guard Tre Johnson (Team Griffin 17u)*

Four-star power forward James Brown (Meanstreets 16u)*
Four-star small forward Isaiah Evans (TSF 16u)
Four-star combo guard Dylan Harper (NY Rens 16u)
Four-star small forward Karter Knox (Florida Rebels 17u)
Four-star center Yves Missi (PSA Cardinals 16u)
Four-star point guard Tahaad Pettiford (NH Lightning 17u)
Four-star point guard Labaron Philon (Nightrydas 16u)
Four-star small forward Drake Powell (Team CP3 16u)
Four-star shooting guard Cam Scott (Team United 16u)*
Four-star power forward Jarin Stevenson (Team United 16u)*

With just Wilcher committed to the Class of 2023, it’s expected that the Tar Heels are far from done with this upcoming recruiting class. However, the North Carolina coaching staff is not shying away from looking ahead at potential prospects who could be a future fit for the UNC basketball program.
