2025 four-star 'wants' UNC offer

The brand of North Carolina, particularly on the college basketball side, is one of the strongest in all of sports.

With that, comes a big fanbase, exposure all over the country, and a plethora of recruits hoping to don the argyle and Carolina blue.

This sentiment reigns true for 2025 four-star Niko Bundalo, who recently sat down with On3's Jamie Shaw.

The 6-foot-9 forward and No. 21 overall recruit discussed his recruiting process and had an interesting comment about the Tar Heels.

“An offer I really want is UNC,” Bundalo told Shaw. “I grew up a fan of them and haven’t gotten the opportunity to talk with the coaches there yet.”

Bundalo would go on to mention that his mother grew up watching Michael Jordan in Chicago and that they both are fans of North Carolina.

He has recently received offers from the likes of Virginia, Georgetown, and Syracuse, while also announcing yesterday that he will attend Western Reserve Academy in Ohio for his junior season.

As it stands, Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball staff have the Tar Heels sitting atop the recruiting rankings for 2024.

Although Elliot Cadeau reclassified and is in now on campus in Chapel Hill, North Carolina has commitments from Ian Jackson (No. 5), Drake Powell (No. 9), and James Brown (No. 88).

Will the UNC basketball staff reach out to Bundalo and potentially add to their 2025 recruiting class?
