Among Hubert Davis and the North Carolina Tar Heels’ big draft board targets for 2025 is five-star forward Nate Ament.
The Tar Heels entered the draft a little late for the forward, offering him in May after scouting him for months. Davis and his team liked what they saw in him to extend the offer and now the search has begun.
And it looks like they’re recruiting him pretty hard.
According to HS Top Recruiting, the Tar Heels are among the programs that are ‘recruiting the hardest’ recently. Joining the Tar Heels in this conversation are UConn, Duke, Kentuckyand Kansas State.
