4-Star 2025 Guard/Forward Bryce Heard (6’6″/190) has trimmed his list of schools to 4, with NC State making the cut along with USC, Mississippi St. and Xavier. He will be announcing his college decision next Wednesday, July 24th.
Heard took an Official Visit to NC State beginning on June 23rd.
247Sports, ESPN and Rivals all rank Heard as a 4-Star prospect. Rivals ranks him as the #95 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class. 247Sports ranks him as the #16 Combo Guard in the class, and they also rank him as the #2 player in the state of Illinois.
As a Junior this past season at Homewood-Flossmoor (Chicago, Illinois), Heard averaged 19 point, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
From where things currently stand, NC State looks like they are in a good position to land Heard.

Wolfer96 wolfpack74 I’d honestly would feel more comfortable if we can add a combo guard grad transfer somehow. Something may in the works since we cancelled that visit with the UNCA guy. We’ll see. If we get a combo guard who can score, I’d be happy with how Gott has rebounded from Lacey leaving.
wolfpack74 We could use a PG and/or that 7 footer from europe. However, after losing Turner and unexpectedly losing Lacey who we’ll be missing the most in terms of scoring, creating, and ball handling; the question now is less to do with depth or positional but who will make up the scoring? No matter who we bring in can they replace the scoring of a 5th year senior and a 4th year junior? I see Kirk more for depth and coming off the bench to give guys a breather the 1st season. Not a guy that will come in right… Read more »
Can Gott now get what we need?
