NC State’s 2018 Basketball Recruiting Class Moves to #16

After the commitment of 4-Star Jericole Hellems last night, NC State’s 2018 Men’s Basketball recruiting jumped from being ranked 32nd nationally, to 16th according to 247Sports.

Hellems’ addition also helped NC State to jump from 6th to 5th in the ACC.

It’s beyond impressive that Wolfpack Head Coach Kevin Keatts has reeled in three 4-Star commitments before coaching a single game at NC State, and he’s not done. He still has one more scholarship position, and possibly 2 if Omer Yurtseven leaves for the Draft. Keatts is still in hot pursuit of the likes of Keldon Johnson, Keyontae Johnson, Saddiq Bey.
