It has been an interesting recruitment for 247Sports Composite four-star power forward Garrison Brooks (Lafayette, AL/Auburn).

Following a Nov. 4, 2016 official visit to UNC the general thought was that Brooks would commit to the Tar Heels. Then during a ceremony on Nov. 9 Brooks committed and signed his letter-of-intent to Mississippi State.

Then in April of 2017 Brooks asked for and received a release from his letter of intent.

Brooks, a 6-9, 215-pound power forward, is now an uncommitted prospect.

Class of 2017 UNC target Garrison Brooks.

There was clear mutual interest between UNC and Brooks before his Mississippi State commitment and now that interest remains.

According to Andrew Slater of 247Sports, the UNC staff will be in to into visit Brooks on Wednesday. "That's the plan," a source said. UNC head coach Roy Williams and assistant Hubert Davis are expected to make the trip.

North Carolina has a good shot at landing Brooks, but a few other schools have entered the fray. Slater told CarolinaBlue that SMU, Iowa State, and Memphis are all now in the picture.
