Jason Gardner Jr., an electrifying guard on the 2027 recruiting trail, says he's always admired the UNC basketball program.
Jason Gardner Jr. doesn't yet appear on the 2027 ESPN 25. But the 6-foot-1, 160-pound speed demon appears to be on breakout watch this spring while playing for Indiana Elite on the talent-rich Adidas 3SSB Circuit. And it sounds like the Fishers High School rising sophomore grew up watching his fair share of UNC basketball games., which tagged him with the "Quick" superlative at last week's 3SSB Session II .
Now, seeing that Jason Gardner Sr. has been on the Wildcats' staff since Tommy Lloyd's arrival as head coach in Tucson in 2021, it might be challenging to pry Jason Gardner Jr. from Arizona should Lloyd & Co. extend an offer. "My dad is one of the coaches on Arizona's staff," Gardner, already receiving interest from the likes of Marquette, Dayton, Purdue, and Valparaiso, noted first when Pro Insight asked which programs he'd like to see get more involved in his recruitment. "So, it'd be pretty cool to just be recruited by them."Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of FanNation's Blue Devil Country and All Tar Heels, covering the Duke Blue Devils and UNC Tar Heels on SI.com.
