NC State has been offering scholarships to some of the top players in the 2017 class all week long, and when you add 5-star Center Jeremiah Tilmon to that lot, the caliber of the group only gets better.  According to Scott Burgess, NC State offered Tilmon earlier this week.

Tilmon also holds offers from Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.

Here is a small write up on Tilmon from 247 writer Andrew Slater:

Jeremiah Tilmon: The local St. Louis star is an excellent rebounder, particularly off of the offensive glass. Tilmon is very strong and has a good frame that enables him to easily withstand contact. For the St. Louis Eagles, he hasn’t quite shown all that he is capable of, but the right-hander for the Eagles has a semblance of a back-to-the-basket game and a soft touch near it. His best low-post move is his drop-step. The East St. Louis native can run the court well, but is most effective in half-court settings where he regularly plays above the rim and where he regularly scores on offensive put-backs. Tilmon has a limited face-up game at this stage. Jeremiah has a prototypical size and an excellent frame for a college five. He is a very good shot-blocker who blocks shots with both hands. Tilmon has above-average basketball IQ for a big at this stage and very good athleticism for his size. While he is very comfortable in his body, he needs to develop his overall offensive skill set, including his low-post moves and developing a semblance of a face-up game, as he prepares for high-major basketball and beyond. Tilmon seems quite coachable and a good teammate

There’s been quite a bit going on in the world of NC State Men’s Basketball recruiting. Below I’ll summarize quite a bit of it.

4-Star Power Forward Kendre Harrison (6’7″/230) out of Reidsville High School (Reidsville, NC) took in the NC State vs. VMI game on Saturday, and walked away with an offer from the NC State Men’s Basketball coaching staff. Harrison already received an offer from the NC State Football coaching staff back in January.

ESPN ranks Harrison as the #20 overall basketball player nationally in the 2026 recruiting class, the #5 Power Forward and the #1 player in the state of North Carolina. Harrison already holds offers from Wake Forest, FSU and Texas A&M. Harrison is the #5 overall football player nationally in the 2026 class according to 247Sports, and the #1 player in the state of North Carolina. Harrison is a unicorn. He projects to be a 5-star prospect in 2 sports.

Did I mention that Harrison is the nephew of former NC State basketball player C.C. Harrison?

On September 12, NC State offered 4-Star 2025 Point Guard Jordan Lowery (6’1″/175) out of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He already holds offers from TCU, SMU, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, St. Louis, Wichita St, ECU and Virginia Tech. Rivals ranks Lowery as the #110 overall player nationally, and ON3 ranks him as the #9 player in the state of North Carolina. Lowery took an unofficial visit to NC State earlier in the month.

Last week, the coaches were in to visit 4-Star 2025 Small Forward AJ White (6’8″/180) out of Charlotte, North Carolina. Rivals ranks White as the #28 overall player nationally in 2025, and he is the consensus #1 player in the state. White holds offers from NC State, South Carolina, Cincy, Texas, Syracuse, Georgia, Texas A&M, Wake Forest, Mississippi St., LSU, FSU, Illinois, Virginia Tech, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgetown, Ohio St. and others.

4-Star 2024 NC State Men’s Basketball commit Paul McNeil (6’6″/185) will be playing his Senior season closer to where he will be playing college ball, transferring from Richmond High School (Rockingham, North Carolina) to Word of God Academy (Raleigh, North Carolina).
