Initially, Magwood's trip to Raleigh was supposed to be his second official visit of the ACC variety this month. But on Tuesday, the 6-foot-3, 175-pound fleet-footed talent, a four-star who ranks No. 57 overall and No. 1 among North Carolina prospects on the 247Sports 2025 Composite, informed League Ready that he canceled the Louisville visit that was on tap for this past weekend.
MORE INFO: Magwood currently has other visits scheduled to NC State, Ole Miss, Memphis, Georgia Tech, USC, Mississippi State and Wake Forest.

There's no word on whether he'll reschedule with the Cardinals.
Plus, Magwood has added trips to Auburn (Oct. 10) and Kansas (Oct. 18) to his calendar. According to 24/7 High School Hoops, he has also locked in visits to Ole Miss (beginning on Saturday), Memphis (Sept. 3), Georgia Tech (Sept. 6), Southern Cal (Sept. 13), Mississippi State (Sept. 20), and Wake Forest (Sept. 27).
He received an offer from Keatts & Co. in early July.
