2026 Recruit says UNC basketball program amongst five schools with most interest
The North Carolina Tar Heels continue making waves on the basketball recruiting trail this offseason, as top class of 2026 prospects are either setting visits – or including UNC amongst their final schools. North Carolina native Cole Cloer, who'll play his final season of high school basketball at IMG Academy, recently narrowed down his recruiting to include UNC in his final eight. Point guard Deron Rippey Jr., a Top-20 recruit, will visit Chapel Hill over Labor Day weekend. Advertisement According to Tar Heel Times, North Carolina has 17 outstanding offers in its 2026 class. One of those 17 recruits, who would fill a massive need to UNC during the 2026-2027 college basketball season, recently gave some insight into his recruiting process. Cameron Holmes, a 5-star small forward from Millennium High School in Goodyear, Ariz., told 247Sports that North Carolina is amongst the top five schools recruiting him the hardest. Joining the Tar Heels on this list are Arizona, Gonzaga, Oregon and Texas. Holmes previously received an offer from UNC in September 2024. According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Holmes is the class of 2026's 16th-ranked recruit nationally, fifth-ranked small forward, and third-ranked player from Arizona. Advertisement With Luka Bogavac the only official wing listed on the Tar Heels' roster, there's another major future need at this position in Chapel Hill. Bogavac is 21, which is much older than the typical college freshman, but there are years of international pro experience under Bogavac's belt. Holmes is one of seven class of 2026 small forwards to hold a UNC offer. The others are Cloer, Qayden Samuels, Anthony Thompson, Tajh Ariza, Tyran Stokes and Bryson Howard.

Michigan State basketball extends offer to 5-star wing Cameron Holmes
Michigan State basketball has been very active on the recruiting trail, sending out various new offers in the 2026 recruiting class. The Spartans zeroed in on a five-star target in the class for their latest offer. Cameron Holmes was the recipient of the Spartans offer, the younger brother of former Dayton Flyer and current Denver Nugget DaRon Holmes. A 6-foot-5, 195 pound wing from Goodyear, Arizona, Holmes plays his prep basketball for Millennium High School. He is a 5-star prospect that ranks No. 16 overall and the No. 5 small forward in the 2026 recruiting class according to the 247Sports composite rankings. A player that has good size for the wing position, Holmes is a lefty that is a threat to make threes, pull-ups and the occasional tough shot. He also shows good defensive upside, making him an interesting prospect as a two-way player.
