5 star Joey Baker SF Going to Louisville Game

Published

6 years ago

on

5-star 2019 Small Forward Joey Baker will be at NC State for the Louisville game tomorrow night. Baker was most recently at Duke, and walked away from there with an offer, and unofficially visited UNC at the beginning of September. With that being said, Baker is very familiar with NC State.

The Wolfpack coaching staff went and visited him twice in September, and barely missed one of his games in AAU play this summer. Baker took another unofficial visit to NC State back in June to get to know the new coaching staff better.

Baker was offered a scholarship by former NC State head coach Mark Gottfried in June of last year, and then Kevin Keatts didn’t waste a time, doing the same in the beginning of May of this year.

At the end of July, Baker said that UCLA, Louisville, Florida and NC State were prioritizing him the most.

Baker is the #13 overall player in the class of 2019 according to ESPN, and the #1 player in the state of North Carolina.

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.
