Have Hubert Davis and the UNC basketball program backed off of one of the nation’s top high school prospects?

The North Carolina Tar Heels have opted not to visit 7-foot-1, 220-pound center and five-star prospect Dereck Lively II this week. Four of his other finalists — Duke, Kentucky, Michigan and Penn State — will be making the trip to Westtown School over the next few days to watch him play.
