North Carolina Fall Preview Spotlight: Eric van der Heijden
Make no mistake about it, Eric van der Heijden was one of the most promising prospects at our North Carolina Fall Preview camp. The 6-foot-8 forward from Millbrook High School in Raleigh, N.C. showed off a wide variety of skill and was a match-up problem at all of the frontcourt spots.
van der Heijden has a recruitment that reflects his talent on the court. Schools from a wide variety of levels have been in to see him already this school year. The class of 2021 prospect said he's had coaches from Air Force, Boston College, Charleston, Cincinnati, Clemson, Elon, George Washington and Western Carolina come by the school. He added that Davidson, NC State and Wake Forest have also shown an interest.
van der Heijden will be on the campus of George Washington this weekend for an unofficial visit. His brother, Jake, plays at Bucknell.
