Top-50 prospect ‘pictures’ himself playing for UNC
Class of 2023 forward TJ Power has been pretty quiet over the last few weeks and outside of naming a top-5, he hasn’t really gone super in-depth about his visits to Duke and North Carolina.
The UNC basketball program hosted Power for a one-day official visit following the end of Peach Jam during the final week of July. He took a one-day official visit to Duke the following day.
The Tar Heels have received some confidence in potential landing Power from 247Sports National Recruiting Director Eric Bossi.
Recently Power went into some additional details regarding his visit to UNC.
“Both visits surpassed the hype,” Power told Sports Illustrated Jason Jordan. “Me and my family were blown away. UNC is a great college town. Coach [Hubert] Davis is awesome. I had a great time walking around with him and him telling stories. Being in the Dean Dome was honestly crazy, I was picturing myself playing there.”
Power has been open about liking UNC’s system and being able to use his skillset at the ‘4’ in Hubert Davis’s offense.
His comments about ‘seeing myself playing there’ is just another positive statement for the Tar Heels in this recruitment. Power has numerous family members who live close to the area as well.
Early playing time at the 3/4 position is something that North Carolina has over Duke as well.
Power is currently ranked No. 50 overall in the 247Sports rankings.
