This is pretty cool, but maybe not so much for Tar Heel fans: rising big man Ivan Rabb (2016) had an unofficial visit to UNC and squeezed a visit to Durham in as well.

His coach, Lou Richey,  said this: "I didn’t hear Coach K [offer]. Coach K did say if you were to say you would come here right now, of course we would be excited….He was more so, we want to coach you, you want to be recruited. We’re on the same page, let’s continue to build a relationship."

Yes, let's.

You can imagine how this was broached in Chapel Hill: Uh, look coach, as long as I'm here I might as well get over to Durham. Coach K hasn't recruited me and I really want him to.

Imagining Ol' Roy's reaction is even better. What could he do except smile?f
