UNC basketball recruiting target set to visit Kansas

Former Towson wing Nick Timberlake doesn’t appear ready to make a decision on his new recruitment.

After entering the transfer portal a few weeks back, Timberlake drew a lot of interest from programs around the country, including North Carolina. But the Tar Heels weren’t the only ones interested; fellow blue blood Kansas also reached out.

Now, Timberlake is set to take a visit to Kansas.

Per multiple reports, Timberlake will be on Kansas’ campus this weekend. The visit comes after he had an in-home with the Tar Heels and officially visited North Carolina’s campus.

Last season, Timberlake averaged 17.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 45.5% from the field. He shot more than 40% from the 3-point line, making him a big target for programs in the portal.

The Tar Heels have one crystal ball prediction on 247Sports for Timberlake but it came from a Maryland insider and may have been a bit premature.

This visit isn’t great news for UNC. It shows that Timberlake’s recruitment is still open, and it will have to battle Kansas, and potentially others, to land him.
