Rising junior LJ Smith, one of the top-ranked players in the Class of 2027, is starting to take a closer look at some of the programs that interest him.
One of those programs resides in Chapel Hill.
The UNC basketball program extended an offer to him on June 22, during a period when several other universities were also making offers. Just a few short weeks later, Smith, a 6-foot-5 combo guard who recently transferred to Oak Hill Academy ahead of his junior season, has scheduled an unofficial visit to North Carolina.
Multiple reports announced the initial news, as Smith also confirmed to us that his unofficial visit to Chapel Hill will take place on October 4.
