Buzelis is the No. 7 overall player in the country for the class of 2023, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. Listed at 6-foot-9, Buzelis is capable of making plays off the dribble and is a good shooter from distance.
Last week, he discussed what a potential fit could look like alongside North Carolina commit GG Jackson.
North Carolina’s recruiting class is in a very strong spot for 2023. Last week, Jackson was upgraded to the No. 1 overall player in the country. The Tar Heels also have a commitment from 5-star guard Simeon Wilcher.
