The North Carolina Tar Heels have officially thrown their hat into the ring for one of the nation’s most exciting young prospects—King Gibson, a rising star in the Class of 2027. The versatile combo guard, who’s already turning heads with his advanced skills and mature on-court presence, just received a scholarship offer from one of the most storied basketball programs in college history.
Standing at 6’4” and known for his elite court vision, smooth shooting stroke, and explosive first step, Gibson has quickly emerged as a must-watch name in recruiting circles. His ability to play both point and shooting guard with equal effectiveness has drawn comparisons to NBA-caliber guards—especially considering his poise and basketball IQ at such a young age.
UNC’s offer doesn’t come lightly. Head coach Hubert Davis and his staff have been carefully evaluating the 2027 class, and Gibson’s rise has made him impossible to ignore. Sources say UNC has been impressed not only by his scoring ability but also by his leadership, defensive tenacity, and coachability.
Gibson now adds UNC to a growing list of suitors that includes Duke, Kentucky, and Michigan State. While he remains uncommitted and plans to take his time with the process, the Tar Heels’ offer could carry significant weight given the program’s championship pedigree and development track record.
For King Gibson, the future is wide open—but receiving an offer from a blue-blood like North Carolina marks a major milestone. As his stock continues to rise, expect the recruiting battle to heat up.
The Tar Heels have made their move. Now the countdown begins to see if King Gibson could one day call Chapel Hill home.
