UNC basketball recruiting target gives impressions of final five schools

UNC basketball is on the search for more 2025 recruits with Nikolas Khamenia, a 6-foot-8 forward from Studio City, California, set to make his decision this October.

Hubert Davis has just four-star guard Derek Dixon committed in the class. The four-star forward is the No. 5 power forward in the country, the No. 4 player in the state of California, and the No. 19 ranked player in the nation.

He is up to a 97 score and the No. 19 rank on 247sports up two spots in the last month.

Khamenia is down to five schools including North Carolina. The other four include Arizona, Duke, Gonzaga, and UCLA.

Khamenia had this to say about Chapel Hill and North Carolina.

You can take that statement how you will, but it doesn’t sound incredibly encouraging heading into his decision later this month. He had more pleasantries in his impressions of Gonzaga, UCLA, and Duke.

The former two left the impression of recruiting him early, and John Scheyer talked about his “versatility and future role” with their team.

Nikolas Khamenia will make his decision in the next 10 days.
