Ivan Rabb, the No. 1 player in the Class of 2015 according to ESPN.com and a potential NBA lottery pick in 2016 will visit North Carolina on Monday and Georgetown on Tuesday, his high school coach, Lou Richie, confirmed to SNY.tv.
The 6-foot-10, 210-pound post player from Oakland Bishop O’Dowd will play this weekend at the Nike EYBL stop in Hampton Va.
Richie previously told SNY.tv that California-Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Georgetown and North Carolina were recruiting Rabb.
“We’re trying to plan unofficial visits to all the schools and we’ll see whether that happens or not,” Richie said.
Georgetown already has a tremendous haul of bigs in 2015, having landed Wings Academy center Jessie Govan earlier this week to join a class that already included power forwards Noah Dickerson and Marcus Derrickson.
North Carolina has no commits yet for 2015 but is involved with several bigs, including Rabb, Stephen Zimmerman and Diamond Stone.
