Greer’s announcement is coming off of his Official Visit to Raleigh this past weekend. He chose to Run with the Wolfpack over a Top-4 that included NC State, Penn State, Cincinnati and the NBL.

This past season, Greer led his Archbishop Alter (Dayton, Ohio) to the state championship, and earned 2nd Team All-State honors. Greer averaged 16 points per game as a Junior.

247Sports ranks Greer as the #100 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class, and the #3 player in the state of Ohio.

4-Star 2024 Forward Kanon Catchings (6’9″/215) will be taking an Official Visit to NC State starting this evening, according to a source.

Catchings is the #31 overall player nationally in the 2024 recruiting class according to Rivals. ESPN ranks him as the #2 player in the state of Georgia, playing for Overtime Elite with 2024 NC State Signee Trey Parker.

On September 22, 2022, Catchings verbally committed to Purdue, but he decommitted from the Boilermakers a week ago. He took an Official Visit to BYU nearly immediately after.

Technically speaking, after Ernest Ross announced he was coming back, NC State already has 13 scholarship players heading into the 2024-25 season. With that being said, in the world of NIL, teams can be more creative, covering someone’s scholarship costs with NIL money.

This year at Overtime Elite, Catchings averaged 14.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, shooting 66.7% from the field, and 36.2% from three.

NC State has offered a scholarship to Consensus Top-25 2025 prospect Darius Adams (Guard) (6’4″/165).

Rivals and 247Sports both rank Adams as the #17 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class.

ESPN ranks Adams as the #1 player in the state of Indiana, playing for La Lumiere School (La Porte, IN).

Adams also holds offers from Michigan St., Tennessee, Notre Dame, Indiana, Rutgers, Syracuse, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Washington, FSU, Nebraska, Penn St., Providence, Villanova, Oklahoma St., Virginia Tech, Xavier, Virginia, Florida, Alabama, Michigan, Kansas and others.

4-Star 2025 Guard/Forward Bryce Heard (6’5″/170) confirmed with me that he will be taking an Official Visit to NC State on June 23-25.

247Sports, ESPN and Rivals all rank Heard as a 4-Star prospect. Rivals ranks him as the #83 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class. 247Sports ranks him as the #15 Combo Guard in the class, and they also rank him as the #1 player in the state of Illinois.

Here recently, ON3 ranked Heard as the #3 Top Performer at the Pangos All-American Camp.

As a Junior this past season at Homewood-Flossmoor (Chicago, Illinois), Heard averaged 19 point, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

NC State offered Heard back on September 22nd last Fall, and he also holds offers from Oklahoma St., Arkansas, Georgia, LSU, Illinois, Georgetown, Arizona St., Oklahoma, St. John’s, Kansas St., USC, Boston College and others.
