Analysts predicting that 4-star Silas Demary Jr. will pick NC State

Published

This morning, 247’s national analyst, Eric Bossi, took a reader’s question about 4-star combo guard Silas Demary Jr and where NC State fits in his recruitment.

Bossi basically noted that Demary Jr. will be visiting this weekend (along with Dennis Parker) but didn’t really weigh in on where he stands with NC State. However, he did mention that “…they do both look to be very serious candidates to commit in the relatively near future with Demary likely to be the closest to making his choice.”

That take seems to fit with what Demary Jr. told us late last month. When asked when he wanted to make his decision, he said “A timeframe for a decision is trying to know where I wanna go before the high school season starts.” Note that the high school season is just two months away.

This also is in parallel with two 247 analysts predicting Demary Jr. ends up at NC State. One was PackPride writer, Cory Smith (he’s been right on 82% of his predictions), so it could be argued there is a bias there, however, the other was national analyst Travis Branham (who has been right on 94% of his predictions). Branham listed his confidence as a 7 out of 10 (which is classified as high confidence on 247).

Could Demary pop for NC State this weekend? It’s possible. I believe NC State is his final official visit scheduled, so that’s obviously not a bad sign. Either way, this is something worth monitoring over the weekend.

We’ll be here to update you with what we hear after the visit.

Hard to get too wound up about recruiting knowing that if we have a regime change, they will have the opportunity to reconsider.
Glad he’s looking at quality players, hope they come, but …. on the other hand, Keatts has never signed a 5 star player or even a top 50 player. He needs success to sign high end players, and he needs high end players for success.
