Grant Duggins didn't leave Chapel Hill with an offer, but he has one now

Just a few weeks ago, Grant Duggins visited Chapel Hill for an unofficial visit.

The Class of 2029 star left campus without an offer from the Tar Heels. However, that changed on Wednesday when Michael Malone and his staff made an in-state visit to extend him an offer.

UNC extends an offer to five-star prospect Grant Duggins

On social media, Duggins, a Greensboro, North Carolina native, revealed that an offer from the Tar Heels has officially been extended.

Duggins is currently viewed as the No. 8-ranked prospect in the Class of 2029 and the No. 1 overall player from his home state. After a dominant season at both the high school and AAU levels, Duggins has emerged as a prospect every program in the country will be interested in.

As we discussed when he made his unofficial visit to Chapel Hill, Duggins is far from a finished product. The 6-foot-10 forward has drawn rave reviews from scouts and analysts across the sport, including Travis Branham of 247Sports.

"Duggins has great feet and feel on the block with counter moves, he can put the ball on the deck and score off the dribble, he can fly off screens and hit shots from three, he's a good passer, he blocks shots and rebounds at a high level."

Tar Heel fans sure love the in-state products. As the Michael Malone era begins in Chapel Hill, many fans hope UNC becomes the preferred destination for homegrown talent, including Duggins, who has put himself in the conversation as the state's best prospect, regardless of graduating class.

Now, the Tar Heels are officially in the mix for the top-ranked in-state talent from the Class of 2029. While we all knew an offer was coming his way, the formality of it actually being extended has now been finalized.

It will be very interesting to see how much of a priority Malone and his staff make Grant Duggins, especially given his in-state roots.
