<p>The 2023 prospects in the North Carolina class aren't wasting any time in picking their schools with a new season slowly approaching. Take a look at the latest commitments in the class.</p>   <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='865307' first='Brandon' last='Gardner']: St. John's</h2>   <p>Gardner close out the month on June with his commitment to the Big East's St. John's Red Storm on June 27. He's currently the 12th ranked prospect in the PrepHoops NC 2023 class heading into 2022-23. He's been a piece in the Boo Williams frontcourt on the EYBL stage this past grassroots season, showing off his ability to operate as a rebounder and stretch-forward threat. He's a versatile forward that will look to find his way in the Big East in the Red Storm's frontcourt in the near future. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BooWilliamsAAU/status/1552356143640494081?s=20&t=5KlyjwFEiXqls0HIG1rqwQ </div></figure>   <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='956789' first='Noah' last='Van Bibber']: Winthrop</h2>   <p>Van Bibber wrapped up the month of July by making his commitment to the Winthrop Eagles in the Big South on June 30. He had a productive grassroots season on the UA Circuit with Team Curry, producing 8.0 ppg and 2.5 rpg as one of the sharpshooters in their rotation following an improbable run to the NCISAA 3A Title with Concord Academy this past season. He is the No. 84 ranked player in the current 2023 rankings, due to be updated next month. At the shooting guard position, he's currently the 13th ranked spot. He is the first commitment in Winthrop's 2023 recruiting class. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Coach_SLayman/status/1552794285019389952?s=20&t=NFL7zRVkHd0cv60pOywyng </div></figure>   <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='1180816' first='Riley' last='Allenspach']: Western Kentucky</h2>   <p>Allenspach made his commitment to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on Aug. 5. He's a 6-foot-10 big man that's currently ranked No. 15 in the PH NC 2023 rankings, coming off a productive summer with Team Curry on the grassroots scene. He can operate inside and out and continues to show his improvement as a double-double machine on the interior. He's a prospect who's best basketball is certainly ahead of him as he continues to develop his game. He's the 2nd commitment in their 2023 recruiting class.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Coach_SLayman/status/1514297351250145281?s=20&t=5KlyjwFEiXqls0HIG1rqwQ </div></figure>   <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='577888' first='Jaydon' last='Young']: Virginia Tech</h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='577888' first='Jaydon' last='Young'] is yet another NC prospect headed to the ACC, joining Patrick Wessler in the Virginia Tech Hokies after making his commitment on Aug. 4. Young is currently ranked the No. 3 prospect in the 2023 PH NC rankings and the third-ranked combo guard. He's a perfect fit with how the Hokies play given his ability to play the 1-3 spot and defend at a high level with his frame and athleticism. He's due for a strong senior season with Greensboro Day in 2022-23. Young marks the second commitment in Mike Young's 2023 recruiting class with the Hokies, joining Brandon Rechsteiner (GA) as another addition to the roster next fall.</p>   <p></p>
