UNC Basketball: Will offers from Blue Bloods change things for D.J. Steward

Class of 2020 four-star guard D.J. Steward is among the fastest rising players in the class with his play for Whitney Young High School and his AAU team Mean Streets over the past few months.

The Chicago native has been able to elevate his game and is not only one of the top players in the state of Illinois but also in the country. Steward has been heavily recruited by big programs in the Midwest but now some Blue Bloods are getting involved and it could change his recruitment.

After watching him play at the Nike EYBL Peach Jam event, it didn’t take long for a pair of Atlantic Coast Conference rivals to offer the recruit.
