The UNC basketball program received some good news, as they are still in the mix for five-star Class of 2024 forward Trentyn Flowers.

On Thursday afternoon, five-star Class of 2024 prospect Trentyn Flowers narrowed his recruitment down to 13 programs. This came after the 6-foot-8 forward received over 40 Division I scholarship offers.

For the UNC basketball program, they received good news, as they found out they are still one of the teams in the mix.

This shouldn’t be very surprising, given that Flowers is fresh off an unofficial visit to Chapel Hill. He’s expected to take an official visit at some point during his recruitment, as it seems that he enjoyed his initial stop to the campus.

Here’s what Flowers told Joe Tipton of On3 regarding the Tar Heels:

"“Coach Hubert (Davis) is just a great person. I’ve also talked to Coach (Jeff) Lebo and Coach (Sean) May. They’ve all been super consistent with me, watched me play throughout the whole summer too. Coach really believes in my talent as a player. It’s North Carolina, you know, they’ve had great wings. Obviously Michael Jordan went there, the greatest player of all time. It’s just a blessing to be able to be looked at and considered by a school like that.”"

The other programs that are still in the mix include Alabama, Arkansas, Creighton, Florida State, Georgetown, Georgia State, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Virginia Tech.

Expect the UNC basketball program to continue its strong pursuit of Flowers, who is currently ranked as the No. 22 overall player in the Class of 2024 by 247Sports Composite. His final decision seems to still be a ways off, but there’s plenty of time for Hubert Davis and his staff to show Flowers that Chapel Hill is the right fit for him.
