Bryce Thompson has one visit to go to decide within a month
Five-star guard
Bryce Thompson took a break from a heated recruiting battle to participate in the USA Basketball October Mini-Camp. “I’m playing good,” Thompson said. “Being able to play around good players I’m not able to take the same shots that I take at home so just being a good player, being a good teammate, making plays for others.” (

Day'Ron Sharpe Competes Hard at USA Camp
The first USA Basketball experience usually serves as an adjustment period. Getting used to the drills, the style of play, and the competition all take time. Not for
Day'Ron Sharpe. The five-star big man made his first trip to Colorado Springs and put on a dominant performance over the three-day mini-camp. “It’s an honor to play for Team USA,” said Sharpe. (

One Visit Remains for Bryce Thompson's Recruitment
Bryce Thompson, a five-star 6-foot-4 guard out of Tulsa (Okla.) Booker T. Washington, is set to take a final official visit to Oklahoma next weekend, which follows visits to Texas, North Carolina, Oklahoma State, and Kansas. “After Oklahoma, I think we’ll sit down together with my parents and probably make a decision in the next week or so,” Thompson said.

Caleb Love Among Top Performers At USA Basketball's October Minicamp Friday
On Friday at USA Basketball's Minicamp, recently committed North Carolina floor general
Caleb Love was easily my day one stand out. He hit deep threes, he showed burst to the rim for dunks, and most importantly, he did all of his scoring in the context of the game while making his teammates look good. There is an air of confidence about him right now. (

UNC Basketball Among Programs Hosting Key Visitors This Weekend
While the Tar Heels have added
Caleb Love to
their 2020 class, they remain in need of a shot-maker. They will host Puff Johnson next month and are also slated to have
Kerwin Walton on campus at the end of the month. In the meantime, the Tar Heels' focus on
R.J. Davis this weekend. Marquette and Pitt have been the most discussed landing spots for Davis. (

Evan Daniels on Cade Cunningham, Earl Timberlake, Team Recruiting Rankings, and More
Cade Cunningham opted to skip USA Basketball to go to Kentucky for an official visit this coming weekend. Then there’s the brother factor with him being an assistant coach at Oklahoma State. Based on that alone, it would be somewhat unprecedented for him to not go there. I’d say the recruitment comes down to Kentucky, UNC, and Oklahoma State. (

R.J. Davis UNC Official Visit Preview

Archbishop Stepinac is making his first trip to Chapel Hill - an official visit - beginning Friday. It's Davis' last scheduled recruiting trip as he's already taken official visits to his three other finalists: Marquette, Pittsburgh, and Georgetown. (

Which 2020 basketball recruits would best fit as multi-year contributors for UNC?
R.J. Davis and
Donovan Johnson are two seniors that I would be all about. Davis is a prolific scorer that averaged over 20 points on the EYBL circuit this summer. He is now regarded as a top 65 recruit in
the 2020 class. Johnson, the younger brother of former North Carolina standout
Cameron Johnson, has continued to make strides in recent years. (
