Nerlens Noel will make an official visit to North Carolina next week.
“North Carolina got a tradition that speaks for itself,” Noel said in a recent interview. “Very well coached by Roy Williams and that’s a great program and especially talking to him he told me some things about playing time right away and that’s a positive.
“I think I was more drawn to UNC, that was one of my premier schools I liked growing up.”
Noel has trimmed his list to Kentucky, Syracuse, North Carolina, Georgetown and UConn.
