Nance, who committed on Friday, was the biggest get. He was ranked #1 overall and possesses a low to mid-90s fastball and plus secondary pitches. He projects to be a front-line starter at some point in his career.

They also have a commitment from the #2 player in the state, Drake Purvis, who is a 6’0, 175lb lefty who can get his fastball into the 90s.

The #3 player in the state for 2024 is Truitt Manuel, a 6’2, 195lb RHP/OF who is also a star football player for Hendersonville.

Truitt Manuel (2024 Fletcher, NC) went 5-inning no-hit innings while running the heater up to 90-mph. Breaker has horizontal action with some teeth. Struck out 11 and did not walk a batter. #UBC #NCState commit @PG_Coastal pic.twitter.com/qtWaCsp5oN
