Hubert Davis and the North Carolina Tar Heels basketball program are preparing for the upcoming 2024-25 season, hoping to find a way to get to the Final Four. But the future of the program is always in focus as well.

And the Tar Heels are doing some very early homework on a pair of 2027 prospects. They aren’t the only ones, either.

Per Rob Cassidy of Rivals, the Tar Heels have shown some early interest in 2027 in-state recruits C.J. Rosser and Jordan Page. North Carolina could battle Duke for the pair of recruits as Cassidy writes:

The Tobacco Road bluebloods would make this list in most years, but the two powerhouses will be particularly interesting during the 2027 cycle due to the fact that they share a state with No. 1 overall prospect, C.J. Rosser. Neither has offered the five-star forward at this early juncture, but logic dictates that both will eventually kick the tires on the recruitment of the 6-foot-8 forward with a reliable jumper.

Obviously, both the Blue Devils and Tar Heels will be pursuing a number of the players featured on Rivals’ initial top 60, but the Rosser sweepstakes have the potential to engage both in what could be a fun in-state battle.

Top-15 prospect Jordan Page also hails from the Tar Heel State and is already on the in-state powers’ respective radars.

Now, it’s VERY early in the process as both players are going into their sophomore years. But with North Carolina showing interest this early, it’s a good sign that they will stay involved in their recruitment.

That can be key for in-state recruits especially if they develop into some of the top players overall in the class. Let’s see how far this battle between UNC and Duke goes for the duo.
