Jayda Porter, a top-35 ranked player in the Class of 2026, has narrowed her recruitment down to eight programs.

Courtney Banghart and the UNC women's basketball program have been selected as one of the remaining finalists, as first reported by Talia Goodman of Rivals.

The 6-foot-3 forward is now focusing her recruitment on these programs: Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Notre Dame, Oregon, North Carolina, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Texas A&M. She has set four official visits up to this point, with more likely on the way.

While she works to establish a name for herself, it's interesting to note that her family has some notable basketball bloodlines.
