Bam Adebayo will take an unofficial visit to Auburn beginning Friday night, sources confirmed to SNY.tv.
The Auburn visit comes after Kentucky coach John Calipari met Tuesday with the 6-foot-10 Adebayo — and his mother — for the second time in a week.
Adebayo averaged 14.2 points and 10.6 rebounds for Team Loaded North Carolina on the Adidas Gauntlet circuit this season.
It will be a big recruiting weekend for Auburn, which also hosts commits Jared Harper and Mustapha Heron officially, and 2017 power forward Austin Wiley unofficially. Auburn hosts Mississippi State Saturday night in football.
The Adebayo visit was first reported by Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com.
