@PaulBiancardi How good is Elijah Stewart ? Does UNC have a good shot with him ? #AskCoachB

When our final rankings came out the other day Elijah Stewart came in at No. 94.
Stewart can play, as he has a rangy frame and is a terrific jump-shooter. He’s an explosive athlete who can compete and perform in any conference. He loves to attack the rim in combination with his jumper, which makes him hard to guard. An area of improvement would be his ball handling, as he attacks with speed more than control.
UNC has inquired, as have USC, UCLA and many other programs.
If Tar Heels go after him hard, they will get a visit. His quick-trigger jumper is just what they need.
