4-Star Commit Trey Parker Signs National Letter of Intent Hours Before End of Early Signing Period

Published

on

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.

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.

NC State Men’s Basketball Recruiting Update (9/21/23)

Published

on

There’s been quite a bit going on in the world of NC State Men’s Basketball recruiting. Below I’ll summarize quite a bit of it.

4-Star Power Forward Kendre Harrison (6’7″/230) out of Reidsville High School (Reidsville, NC) took in the NC State vs. VMI game on Saturday, and walked away with an offer from the NC State Men’s Basketball coaching staff. Harrison already received an offer from the NC State Football coaching staff back in January.

ESPN ranks Harrison as the #20 overall basketball player nationally in the 2026 recruiting class, the #5 Power Forward and the #1 player in the state of North Carolina. Harrison already holds offers from Wake Forest, FSU and Texas A&M. Harrison is the #5 overall football player nationally in the 2026 class according to 247Sports, and the #1 player in the state of North Carolina. Harrison is a unicorn. He projects to be a 5-star prospect in 2 sports.

Did I mention that Harrison is the nephew of former NC State basketball player C.C. Harrison?

On September 12, NC State offered 4-Star 2025 Point Guard Jordan Lowery (6’1″/175) out of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He already holds offers from TCU, SMU, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, St. Louis, Wichita St, ECU and Virginia Tech. Rivals ranks Lowery as the #110 overall player nationally, and ON3 ranks him as the #9 player in the state of North Carolina. Lowery took an unofficial visit to NC State earlier in the month.

Last week, the coaches were in to visit 4-Star 2025 Small Forward AJ White (6’8″/180) out of Charlotte, North Carolina. Rivals ranks White as the #28 overall player nationally in 2025, and he is the consensus #1 player in the state. White holds offers from NC State, South Carolina, Cincy, Texas, Syracuse, Georgia, Texas A&M, Wake Forest, Mississippi St., LSU, FSU, Illinois, Virginia Tech, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgetown, Ohio St. and others.
