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.
turbopack Well, let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves 🙂 I’ll wait until those guys sign on the dotted line before including them in our lineups. But I really feel that the twins will make a huge leap this season. What I would like to see is a more balanced perimeter game that’s not designed around one player getting hot. With the twins, Hendo, Rowan, and Cat this team should have several guys that can hit the 3. We just need good ball movement and good passing out of the post to capitalize on the shooters. That will make… Read more »
Your absolutely right the problem of getting them enough time will be bigger next year when we bring in bam and dsj….that’s two must starters injected in. I got a feeling the twins will not want to be a focus for us and we’ll only be able to give them about 20 mins or so. I pray they stay though!
I remember just a few months ago thinking how awful of a recruiting year 2015-2016 was going to be and then right near the end of the recruiting season we add the Maverick to a recruiting class that includes Shaun Kirk and transfer Torin Dorn.
I mean this staff really put together a nice group of kids in the end. Next season, get that 7 footer and a PG.
turbopack I was with you until the twins transfer talk. Their play this season will tell the tale but I feel like the twins will be 4 year guys and the heart of this Wolfpack team. I absolutely love their intensity and energy. I really hope lil Corch gets a few minutes a game at backup PG. Just enough to gain some game time experience and to spell Cat for a few. Gott needs to do a better job with the minutes for the 2/3 positions this season. We have the twins, Hendo, Rowan, and Kirk. How is Gott going… Read more »
Future great #24! Big pick up.
I see what your saying but remember people were saying the same thing about us when we lost wood, lorenzo, howell, and leslie…we were better the following year with freshman and TJ. Then we heard the same thing last year when we lost TJ. We were better last year with lacey (who was no where as good as TJ). Now we’re hearing the same thing but we will have a far more experienced team than the last three years and with more overall talent.
I agree…he maybe better off the screen or isolated as SG.
The pack will be better this year and here’s why: Rowan is a better scorer than lacey (not saying he can create or will be as clutch but given similar minutes his superior shooting/size will yield more points), the added 20-25 mins of either of the Martin twins drastically boost our team defense (a lineup of abu, anya, cat, and both Martin’s is arguably the best defensive 5 in the league), Hendon is better defensively equal in shooting skill and more athletic scorer than ralston, team maturity is questionable since ralston and lacey left but to compare last year and… Read more »
I like this kid. He’s almost like the white TJ Warren the way he scores from the FT line to the basket. Maybe Gott will run this kid high post.
If this guy is as good as most say he is, then maybe this team will move from sucking to having a chance the last week of the 2015-2016 season again. Constant bubble team.
