    Stephen Zimmerman will stay local for his final official visit.

    The 7-footer from Las Vegas Bishop Gorman will visit UNLV beginning Friday, meaning he won’t take an official to North Carolina.

    “After much thought, I will be taking my last official visit to my hometown school, #UNLV. They were my 1st offer & recruited me since Day 1,” He Tweeted.

    His mother added: “Rebel fans, ur staff has recruitd @BIGG_ZIMM since the beginning but @CoachRyanMiller has been RELENTLESS on securing this visit. He’s good!”

    Zimmerman took an official to Arizona this past weekend and he’s also taken officials to Kentucky, Kansas and UCLA.

    “Great atmosphere, fun campus, nice weather, tough practices!” Lori Zimmerman, the player’s mother, said of the Arizona visit.

    As for coach Sean Miller’s message to Zimmerman, Lori said it was, “That it’s never been [a question of] is Stephen good enough for Arizona, it’s always been do we have a chance to get him?”

    He is expected to commit sometime in late February and not sign an NLI.

    “The NLI does not protect the student-athlete,” she said. “It doesn’t bind the coach to the athlete but binds the athlete to the school.”
