Class of 2018 recruit Darius Days will announce his decision this week

Friday could be another big day for the North Carolina Tar Heels basketball program as class of 2018 recruit Darius Days will announce his decision.

The Gainesville, Florida native will announce which college he will attend picking between UNC and LSU.

Days narrowed his list down to five back in August, naming UNC, LSU, Ohio State, Xavier and Louisville as his top schools. But after the recent FBI investigation in college basketball involving Louisville, he eliminated the Cardinals.

Right now it looks as if UNC and LSU are the two favorites for the four-star recruit.

The 247 Sports’ Crystal Ball currently has the Tar Heels as the trending pick at 54 percent, followed by LSU at 38 percent.

Days took visits to both schools recently as he was in Chapel Hill on October 6 and in Baton Rouge on Oct. 13.

He told Scout back in August that he really likes coach Roy Williams and Hubert Davis, the two that have been leading the recruitment for the power forward.

Days is one of the more versatile forwards in the 2018 class and has a really good midrange jump shot in his skill-set. He’s ranked as the No. 65 recruit in 247 Sports’ composite rankings.

If Days does commit to UNC, it would give them their fourth member in the 2018 class along with Rechon Black, Coby White and recently committed Nassir Little.

UNC currently has the No. 1 class in the 2018 rankings according to Scout and this would only improve it.

Check back for more on Days’ announcement on Friday.
