Top 30 Sophomore LJ Smith Returns to UNC Basketball for Second 'Dream School' Tour

Posted Mar 10, 2025
Less than two weeks ago, Northern Nash High School (N.C.) five-star forward CJ Rosser became the first class of 2027 UNC basketball offer recipient. Now, it wouldn't be a surprise if Lincolnton High School (N.C.) five-star guard LJ Smith soon becomes the second. The 6-foot-4, 180-pound Smith has been on Hubert Davis & Co.'s recruiting radar for months. (Sports Illustrated)
