Just wanted to give an update on Hurt after his unofficial visit this past weekend.
These are from Richard Hurt, Matthew's dad, taken from an interview with Adam Zagoria.
On Saturday, Hurt spent the day at North Carolina, the reigning NCAA champions who are also prioritizing him in the Class of 2019.
That visit included having dinner with head coach
Roy Williams and associate head coach
Hubert Davis and watching Game 6 of the Yankees-Astros series on TV.
“Coach Williams wanted Matthew to kind of watch
Luke May a little bit,” Richard said. “He said, ‘Look may not have your talent but he’s got the versatility where he can go inside and go outside, so watch him in practice.”
He added: “It was a great trip overall, it allowed Matthew to see two places that I think will be in there at the end.”
A few takeaways from here are that Roy is prioritizing him as a stretch 4 which is the mold that he clearly falls into. Hurt's dad, Richard is very much involved in this recruitment, not any of that other garbage here.
A side note: not sure if you remember, but over the summer there was an interview conducted with Matthew after an AAU game where he didn't mention UNC, however right after the interview surfaced Richard called Roy and said that we are still very much a player in his recruitment and it was more of a spur of the moment mistake. Seems like a really good kid from a good family, sounds like a recruitment Roy can do well in, even though there are some connections with Minnesota.
Here is the full article included with talk about his Dook visit and other players in his recruitment:
