This comes one day after Wolfpack head coach Mark Gottfried and Assistant Coach Orlando Early visited the blue chip prospect by helicopter.

Dennis spoke with ESPN’s Paul Biancardi, and had this to say about his commitment to the Wolfpack.

“Growing up an NC State fan I knew they would be one of my top schools,” Smith said. “Coach [Mark] Gottfried made me a priority, showing up, sitting in front to all my games in the live periods. That loyalty meant a lot to me. After giving the decision a lot of thought we all felt State was the best situation for me.”

“They have been on me hard since my sophomore year,” Smith said of the Wolfpack. “The relationships I had with Coach Gottfried and Coach Early, I believe in them and they believe in me. State is an underdog in the ACC and at times in the state of North Carolina — I want to try and help them win a championship and I believe we can do it. They want me to come in and run the show and even though the returning roster will be older than me, I am very confident in my abilities.”

“My first call is going to be to Bam Adebayo and get him on board,” Smith added Thursday. (ESPN)
