Last night 4-Star 2023 Guard Trey Parker verbally committed to NC State, and he also signed his National Letter of Intent as well, hours before the end of the early signing period, which ended last night at midnight.
Both Wolfpack commits, Trey Parker and Dennis Parker, have signed their National Letters of Intent.
The fact that Keatts pulled this off right at the wire is beyond impressive. Trey Parker is set to see his national rankings soar in his Senior season, and was expected to see his offer sheet, which wasn’t all that impressive, expand. Parker is one of the more underrated talents in the 2023 recruiting class.
Incredible job by Keatts to get Parker to sign hours before the early signing period ended.
You can check out Parker’s insane VIDEO VAULT here.
This totally unrelated but… does anyone else hate as much as I do the pictures of the players sitting on the ball??? It’s wrong in all sorts of ways and as Jimmy V would say, “Don’t sit on the rock!!!”
If we sign 6’7” Kris Parker do we consider the WolfParkers as an NIL promotion?
The only way KK is going to get the really good players is by identifying them early before the big names get to them, and locking in on them, ala Terquavion Smith. Here’s hoping that applies to these to guys.
Yes. Although I’ve wondered about high school recruiting as far as the Transfer Portal. While it’s clear schools will still recruit high school, and blue blood schools will continue to slurp up the top players across the land… transfers will now become a huge part of everyone’s fabric as well.
And then there is NIL, which can either help keep a young kid around and happy or can be incentive to go elsewhere. If you can get NIL donors to pay up, its playing with house money.
Yeah, that too.
Judging from last year’s transfer portal success, when the deck was really stacked against him, Keatts adapted very well. Now he has signed two impressive HS players. We need to over achieve on the court this year to keep the momentum going.
Don’t forget, we get 1 more scholly slot back next season. That allows a little more room to work both HS and Portal.
