In a span of minutes, the Tar Heels basketball program has offered three players in the 2018 class as they look to add to a very important recruiting class.
Head coach Roy Williams offered both Nassir Little and Simisola Shittu Monday night, then extended an offer to Nate Laszewski.
Laszewski is a small forward out of Northfield, Massachusetts and is currently ranked as the 143rd player in the 2018 class according to 247 Sports.
Williams extended the offer late Monday night via phone call as confirmed by Inside Carolina.

Laszewski already has a tie to the Tar Heels. He was teammates with 2017 recruit Andrew Platek at Northfield Mount Hermon High School.
The 6-foot-10, 190-pound small forward currently holds offers from programs like Notre Dame, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arizona and Indiana among other schools.
Now UNC has entered the mix in hopes of adding another piece to their 2018 class.
Laszewski most recently competed at the adidas Summer Championships where Williams watched him play during the third evaluation period.
The small forward showed off his shooting touch and why he’s one of the most versatile big men in the class. It was enough to earn a big offer from the Tar Heels.
Check out some highlights below:
The recruit will enter his senior season this year and will likely pick up a few more offers before he makes his announcement.
