High school basketball stars want to come play for Michael Malone. The UNC head men’s basketball coach landed a 3-man recruiting class for his 2026-27 roster, but there’s even greater excitement in North Carolina’s 2027 recruiting class.

The Tar Heels are hosting top overall recruit CJ Rosser this weekend. Earlier this week, UNC target Darius Wabbington canceled his visit to Louisville, meaning Chapel Hill is now in his final five destinations.

Just when you thought North Carolina’s recruiting trail couldn’t get any better, 5-star wing Jordan Page announced he’ll also be visiting campus this weekend.

According to his 247Sports recruiting profile, Page is the class of 2027’s 10th-ranked overall prospect, third-ranked small forward and sixth-ranked player from Florida. Page plays his high school basketball at national powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton.

Page is part of a wing-heavy class for the Tar Heels, who also have offers extended to fellow 5-stars AJ Williams, Demarcus Henry and Asa Montgomery. UNC aced this position on past rosters, most notably recently with 2025 NBA Draft first round pick Drake Powell.

Looking at North Carolina’s 2026-27 roster, Virginia Tech transfer Neoklis Avdalas will likely be the Day One starter at small forward. Starting all 31 games for the Hokies a season ago, the 6’9″ Avdalas averaged 12.1 points, 4.6 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game.

Also at wing, the Tar Heels have a pair of freshman in Maximo Adams and Kevin Thomas, two members of their 2026 recruiting class. Adams is a Hubert Davis recruit, deciding to stay despite the coaching chance, while Thomas is a late steal from LSU.

UNC has a massive chance to gain two recruiting victories this weekend. If Rosser and Page both commit, you’re looking at one of college basketball’s most dangerous teams for the 2027-28 campaign.
