Wolfpack Weekend Update

Published

on

There actually was quite a bit going on this weekend in the world of Wolfpack athletics. Let’s get you caught up…

1) Devonte Graham (the best PG still available for this coming season) just finished his visit with Kansas and will be starting his visit with the Wolfpack today.

As we’ve stated earlier, Graham is a hometown kid who attended Broughton before prepping at Brewster. Right now the Wolfpack’s chances look real good. Graham and his family are very close with Gottfried and know that there is a lot of PT to be had if he chooses State. Others in the mix are Kansas and UVA. Kansas is likely very enticing, however they are stocked full of PGs. Virginia on the other hand does have some playing time to hand out, however I think State is in really good shape with this kid. We’ll keep you updated on how his visit went. 2) The 3 on 3 legends game happened this past weekend with Julius Hodge, Chris Corchiani and Rodney Monroe (coached by Vinny Del Negro) representing the Pack. They took on greats such as Christian Laettner, Chris Carrawell, George Lynch and more. Of course, the Wolfpack legends walked away with the trophy! (State also won the skills competitions and narrowly were defeated in the 3pt shootout) Screen Shot 2014-04-21 at 9.05.13 AM photo via WRAL (see more here)

 

3) 2016 big man Thon Maker received a Wolfpack offer not too long ago. Now it’s being reported that he might reclassify to 2015. He’s also still listing NC State along with some top tier schools. Check out his video in the link above.

 

4.) StateFansNation has a pretty good recap of NC State baseball this weekend. They just lost another series, this time to Boston College. With the season winding down this talented group better wake up or they’ll find themselves on the outside looking in come postseason time (which would be a travesty with the type of talent they’re running out there!)

North Carolina High School Athletes Will Now be Able to Profit off NIL

Published

May 4, 2023

By

NIL has shaken up the college sports world, and now it will be shaking up the high school sports world in North Carolina (NCHSAA), becoming one of 27 states to approve the ability for high school athletes to profit off their Name, Image and Likeness.

This will officially take place beginning July 1.

In order for a student athlete to begin this process, they will have to take a course on NIL, and their parents, coaches and athletic director will as well. Schools and coaches will not be able to represent the student in NIL Deals, and they will also not be allowed to use NIL as a way to draw athletes to their school.

There are restrictions on what student athletes can profit off of though.

The NCHSAA will prohibit student-athletes from entering into NIL deals with products around adult entertainment, alcohol, cannabis, controlled substances, firearms and ammunition, gambling, prescription drugs, as well as tobacco, vaping, and other Nicotine-related products. Athletes cannot affiliate themselves with a specific school, conference, school district, the NCHSAA, or the NFHS through a NIL deal.

Last Thursday, the Wolfpack offered 2024 Small Forward Jahki Howard (6’7″/180) out of Overtime Elite (Atlanta, GA).

ESPN ranks Howard as the #53 overall player nationally in the 2024 recruiting class, and the #3 player in the state of Georgia.

Howard is familiar with NC State, because NC State 2023 signee Trey Parker played with him down at Overtime Elite. In 2022-23, Howard averaged 10.1 points per game, shooting 58.6% from the field.

Check out these pictures of Howard on an unofficial visit to NC State with Parker.

4-Star 2024 Small Forward Jahki Howard (6’7″/180) took an Unofficial Visit to NC State yesterday alongside 4-Star Shooting Guard Paul McNeil, who verbally committed to run with the Wolfpack yesterday.

He also holds offers from Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Providence, Auburn, Rutgers, Illinois, Texas A&M, Mississippi St, Wake Forest, Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, Arizona St, Kansas, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, and others.

As far as I can tell, Howard doesn’t hold an offer from NC State at this point.
