Four-star UNC basketball target named standout
Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball program are out evaluating prospects for future recruiting classes, hoping to get an eye on some top talent in the country.
This week, the staff is in Augusta, Georgia to watch the Nike EYBL Peach Jam event. And they are keeping tabs on a four-star forward in the 2024 class.
Pittsboro, North Carolina nativeDrake Powell recently received an offer from the Tar Heels and now they are watching him closely. Per DuShawn London of 247Sports, the Tar Heels had two assistants watching Powell at the Peach Jam. He was also one of London’s standouts from the event on Friday:
Over at 16U, CP3 wing Drake Powell showed a lot of promise and upside. At 6-foot-7 Powell is a true wing who handles it well and has a smooth jump shot which he gets great elevation on. Powell has great length and athleticism that he uses well on both ends. Although the three wasn’t falling, he showed he can guard multiple positions, get his teammates involved, and can get to the rim and finish with either hand. Powell recently received an offer from UNC, which had two assistants in attendance for his game.
Powell is a recruit that has seen his stock rise a bit over the past few months, especially with good showings on the AAU circuit. He’s a player that the Tar Heels are hoping to eventually land and get their 2024 class off to a good start.
