It seems that the UNC basketball recruiters were likely the final program to meet with Derek Dixon, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound four-star guard from Gonzaga College High School in D.C., before he announces his college decision.
On Thursday, Travis Branham from 247Sports reported that Derek Dixon has canceled his official visit to Arizona, which was planned for this weekend. This comes just a few days after he returned from Chapel Hill, where he took photos in Tar Heel apparel with his family.
His only other official visit this senior year was to Vanderbilt at the end of August.
Dixon, who has narrowed his choices to UNC, Vanderbilt, Arizona, Virginia, Syracuse, and Pitt since late July, is considering making an announcement when he turns 18 on September 27. He currently ranks No. 47 overall in the 247Sports 2025 Composite, moving up 25 spots since receiving an offer from UNC basketball head coach Hubert Davis on May 20.
The skilled backcourt player’s time with the Tar Heels overlapped with the official visit of another key UNC target, four-star forward Nikolas Khamenia from Harvard-Westlake School (California), who has a composite ranking of No. 27 and showcases remarkable versatility.
It’s possible that the recent efforts of Coach Davis and his team with both Dixon and Khamenia could lead to the program’s first successes in the 2025 recruiting class.
