The Tar Heels have turned up the heat on the 2025 recruiting trail in the last couple of months, handing out multiple offers to some of the nation’s top players.
Earlier this week, the Tar Heels also landed on the top schools list for one of the cycle’s top players. 2025 4✮ C Malachi Moreno told On3Sports’ Joe Tipton on Monday that he is down to eight schools that he will be deciding between over the next handful of months. The Tar Heels are joined by Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville, Notre Dame and Ohio State as those left vying for his services.
