NC State Checked out 4-Star PG Carter Whitt This Week

Published

on

NC State Head Coach Kevin Keatts was in to watch 4-Star 2021 Point Guard Carter Whitt (6’2″/160) earlier this week on Tuesday.

Rivals ranks Whitt as the #46 overall player nationally in the 2021 class, and 247Sports ranks him as the #38 player nationally, and the #2 player in the sate of North Carolina.

Whitt holds offers from NC State (December 31), Ole Miss and UVA, and has visited all three of them in recent months, as well as Maryland and Stanford.

Rivals’ Corey Evans caught up with Whitt recently, and he talked about NC State, and the possibility of reclassifying to 2020.

NC State: “It is cool getting that offer since it is the hometown school and it is like 20 minutes away, so I was just glad I got that offer. I have been to three or four games this past year. It is really cool and Coach (Kevin) Keatts came to a lot of my games since it is really easy being close to home.

“I could if I wanted to,” he said. “If I have the right situation, I think it wouldn’t be bad because I have been playing high school basketball since seventh or eighth grade so there is only so much you can do in high school.”

Rivals

Whitt is a local talent in the Triangle, playing right down the street at Leesville Road High School in Raleigh.

4-Star 2024 Small Forward Jahki Howard (6’7″/180) took an Unofficial Visit to NC State yesterday alongside 4-Star Shooting Guard Paul McNeil, who verbally committed to run with the Wolfpack yesterday.

Howard is ranked as the #51 overall player nationally in the 2024 class by Rivals, and the #4 player in the state of Georgia according to ESPN. Howard plays for Overtime Elite in Atlanta, where 2023 NC State signee Trey Parker plays.

He also holds offers from Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Providence, Auburn, Rutgers, Illinois, Texas A&M, Mississippi St, Wake Forest, Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, Arizona St, Kansas, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, and others.

As far as I can tell, Howard doesn’t hold an offer from NC State at this point.

2024 4-Star Shooting Guard Paul McNeil (6’6″/185) will be taking an Official Visit to NC State next weekend.

ESPN ranks McNeil as the #17 overall player nationally in the 2024 recruiting class, and the #2 player in the state of North Carolina. I don’t understand how recruiting databases work, but at some point this year he will be a 5-star player according to ESPN as long as he stays in the Top-25.

McNeil plays for Richmond Senior in Rockingham, North Carolina.

This is huge for NC State to get a player of McNeil’s caliber to come in for an Official Visit this early in the process.
