Tar Heels make cut for four-star recruiting target in 2024 class

Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball program have taken a step forward in the pursuit of a four-star center in the 2024 recruiting class.

Chicago native James Brown is a sought-after recruit that has racked up 27 offers so far in his recruitment. But on Friday night, the center made an important update to his recruitment and has trimmed that list down to just 10 teams.

Brown took to Twitter to announce he would be focusing on the following 10 programs: UNC, Duke, Buffalo, Missouri, Illinois, Eastern Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Notre Dame, and Michigan State. The list was released by Brown as well as Tipton Edits:

The 6-foot-9, 210-pound center is a standout at St. Rita in Chicago where he ranks No. 27 overall, the No. 6 center and the No.1 player in the state of Illinois per the 247Sports recruiting rankings.

Brown will take a visit to UNC this Fall and right now, the Tar Heels appear to have a good shot in this recruitment. But they will have to battle out some tough programs such as Duke, Illinois and Michigan State in this recruitment.
