Zion Williamson announces where his next official visit will be.

Class of 2018 phenom Zion Williamson is returning to Chapel Hill to visit the University of North Carolina.

Williamson’s family officially confirmed to Inside Carolina that recruit will take his official visit to UNC this weekend as the Tar Heels host Barton in an exhibition game.

This will be the fourth visit for Williamson to Chapel Hill but this one is a little different. Williamson has decided to use this as an official visits, which should be good news for the Tar Heels.

The 6-foot-6 power forward has already taken official visits to Duke, Kentucky and Kansas. He had one set for UCLA but he recently cancelled his trip, all but eliminating the Bruins from his recruitment according to Zag’s Blog.

Now, instead of the UCLA visit he will take one of his remaining two to UNC.

Williamson previously visited UNC in June of 2016, November of 2016 and March of 2016 when he watched the Tar Heels beat the Blue Devils to close out their ACC schedule.

Throughout his recruitment, the Tar Heels have been considered a long shot for Williamson but with the recent news you’d have to imagine their chances are increasing.

The five-star recruit was very impressed with how UNC commit Nassir Little performed at the recent USA Basketball training camp in Colorado as you can see in the tweet below:

If UNC can somehow land Williamson to add to their 2018 class which already has Rechon Black, Coby White and Little, it would be head coach Roy Williams best class in a long time at UNC.

Williamson has not indicated when he will announce his decision but check back for more on the highly-touted recruit.
