Five-star wing DeMarcus Henry, a highly ranked prospect from Arizona’s Compass Prep, has entered the final stages of his college recruitment process. 

Initial reports indicated that Henry was scheduled for an official visit to the University of North Carolina, with a potential commitment expected around October 30. During this period, North Carolina also extended scholarship offers to other prospects, including Grant Duggins, Cherif Millogo, and JJ Crawford.

Henry has since narrowed his choices to four finalists: North Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Louisville. Following official visits to all four programs, he is expected to announce his final decision on Friday, October 30. During his recruitment by North Carolina, head coach Michael Malone reportedly involved basketball legend Michael Jordan to assist in the process.
