NC State has been looking the hardest at Mississippi wingman Rodney Hood, but also have been showing some interest in an in-state prospect, Jacob Lawson. Listed at 6’8, Lawson is the teammate of 2012 Wolfpack commit Joseph Uchebo at Oak Ridge Academy and is just starting to gain some national attention.
