According to Patrick O’Brien at Phenom Hoops, Ambrose-Hylton will be taking an Official Visit to NC State next weekend (September 27-29). He also has Official Visits scheduled to the rest of the schools in his Final 5 as well (He already took one to Dayton).

Here’s what he told O’Brien about the Wolfpack:

NC State: “Great team, great transition.  Head coach Kevin Keatts has stated I will make a huge impact in my freshman year.  The Wolfpack seems insane, they definitely go hard for their team.” (PH)

Ambrose-Hylton is listed as a Power Forward by 247Sports and Rivals, while ESPN lists him as a Small Forward. ESPN ranks Ambrose as the #58 overall player in the 2020 recruiting class, the #13 small forward, and the #1 player in the state of Ontario, Canada. 247Sports ranks him as the #13 Power Forward in 2020.

NC State was late to the party, offering Ambrose-Hylton less than 2 weeks ago (September 9), but they must have made quite the impression.

Ambrose-Hylton plays for Andrews Osborne Academy in Toronto, Canada.

According to O’Brien, Ambrose-Hylton plans on making his decision in early November.

Langford was scheduled to take an Official Visit to Texas A&M this upcoming weekend, but that is cancelled now, because he will be announcing his decision this weekend.

Rivals ranks Langford as the #80 overall player in the 2020 recruiting class, and the #20 Small Forward. 247Sports ranks him as the #15 Shooting Guard, and ESPN ranks him as the #1 player in the state of New Hampshire.

NC State offered Langford on August 20th.

All signs are pointing to Langford committing to Boston College. He plays for Brewster Academy up in New Hampshire, and his brother Makai Ashton-Langford transferred from Providence to BC this Summer. All 5 of the Crystal Ball predictions over at 247Sports have Langford flying with the Golden Eagles, including Cory Smith from NC State affiliate Pack Pride, who cast his vote today. Also, Andrew Slater who is the author of the tweet above, also cast his vote.

Kentucky, UCONN, Memphis, Pitt, Miami, Rutgers, Arizona State, Temple and others have all been in to see him in the past week.

He might be releasing a list of his final schools on October 11th.

Wolfpack head coach Kevin Keatts was in to see Hugley last week as well on Monday, when the Recruiting Period opened. Hugley was in Raleigh for an Official Visit the first weekend of September. He is scheduled to take Official Visits to Pitt and Miami over the next two weekends.

It’s clear that NC State wants to add a big man in the 2020 class, and they obviously have made Hugley a priority, now seeing him three weeks in a row.

247Sports ranks Hugley as the #73 overall player in the 2020 recruiting class, and Rivals ranks him 93rd. 247 also ranks him as the #11 Center in the nation, and the #2 player in the state of Ohio.
