Kentucky Transfer Forward Sacha Killeya-Jones just announced that he has committed to NC State.
Extremely excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at NC State University! #WPN#GoPack 🐺🐺🐺 pic.twitter.com/fECzXluuqw
He took an official visit to NC State last week, and was scheduled to take a visit to Wake Forest over Memorial Day weekend, but that visit is obviously unnecessary now.
Jones is originally a native of Chapel Hill, but played his high school ball at Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, Virginia. After originally committing to UVA, Jones eventually committed to go to Kentucky. Jones was a consensus 5-Star recruit, and ranked as the #23 overall player in the class of 2016.
As a sophomore this past season, Jones played 13.7 minutes per game, and averaged 3.3 points and 2.9 rebounds.
This is a huge pickup for the Wolfpack.
Jones will have to sit out this upcoming season, and will have two years of eligibility remaining.
In order for Jones to have committed, a scholarship would have had to have become available. I cannot go into detail at this point, but one of the Freshman that was a committed member of the Wolfpack’s 2018 recruiting class will not be enrolling at NC State.
4-Star Guard/Forward Bryce Heard has verbally committed to NC State! He chose to Run with the Wolfpack over a Final 4 that also included USC, Mississippi St., and Xavier.
Heard took an Official Visit to NC State beginning on June 23rd.
247Sports, ESPN and Rivals all rank Heard as a 4-Star prospect. Rivals ranks him as the #95 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class. 247Sports ranks him as the #16 Combo Guard in the class, and they also rank him as the #2 player in the state of Illinois.
As a Junior this past season at Homewood-Flossmoor (Chicago, Illinois), Heard averaged 19 point, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
Heard is the 3rd member of NC State’s 2024 recruiting class, joining 4-Star Guard/Forward Paul McNeil and 3-Star Guard Trey Parker.
4-Star 2025 Guard Davion Hannah (6’5″/180) released his Top-9 schools yesterday, and NC State made the cut along with Alabama, Pitt, Xavier, Cincinnati, Michigan St., Louisville, Ohio St. and Wisconsin.

Hannah is right on the cusp of being a 5-star prospect. 247Sports ranks him as the #27 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class, the #4 Combo Guard, and the #3 player in the state of Missouri.
This past season as a Junior at Nicolet High School (Glendale, Wisconsin), Hannah averaged 18.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.6 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. He also just participated in the NBA Top 100 camp, and was one of the standouts.
For his Senior season, Hannah has transferred to Link Academy in Branson, Missouri.
Rivals ranks Adams as the #16 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class. ESPN and 247Sports rank him as the #4 Shooting Guard in the class. 247Sports and ON3 rank him as the #2 player in the state of Indiana, playing for La Lumiere School in La Porte.
