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.
Howard is ranked as the #51 overall player nationally in the 2024 class by Rivals, and the #4 player in the state of Georgia according to ESPN. Howard plays for Overtime Elite in Atlanta, where 2023 NC State signee Trey Parker plays.
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.
Wolfer96 Any rumors about the trip to Greece? Gott is said to be talking to Ingram today. Kind of a short trip overseas.
wolfpack74 Wolfer96 I wouldn’t think that Gott would be all the way over there if there wasn’t some chance of bringing the guy. Or maybe Gott is going to be seeing many european players while he’s over there.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind establishing a good network into europe to keep the players flowing in. In general they seem to have better fundamentals than kids here. It’s not like we haven’t had foreign players before (Evtimov, Atsur, Vandy).
Wolfer96 wolfpack74 Was Gott going to drug him and bring him back on a plane or in the cargo area of a supertanker? We need some good news for a change.
wolfpack74 most likely not one and done caliber. And if you’re not a top player in europe I would imagine you would get more exposure playing college ball in the US.
He’s a long shot at best. Rivals does not show any interest in NCState before this magic carpet ride by Gott. What about getting us a good PG to backup CAT? He didn’t seem too upset about getting rid of Kyle, so why a big now. If he is a one and done style player, why come back to the United States. Just play one year in Europe and then transition to the NBA after that.
DanielHargreaves Wolfer96 I sure hope that’s not the case.
Wolfer96 I think Anya will leave if this kid commits to us
I’m imagining this kid and Anya on the court at the same time and we would call them the long arms of the law.
Close the deal Gott!
