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.

Kevin Keatts on ACC teleconference states that Dusan Mahorcic is still out indefinitely and admits, “I’m not even sure if he’s going to return this year.”
What a turnaround! A couple of months ago it was hard to take recruiting too seriously, since we didn’t know if Keatts would be here. Now we’re looking a year ahead. And good players are giving us a look. The off season turnover, both players and assistants, this season will be extremely important.

They run the offense, and provide points, assists, steals, and are the guys keeping our turnovers… Read more »
This year could really be a springboard to KK becoming a recruiting force. If anyone thinks that KK could have brought in Joiner, Clark, DJ, and Dusan if there was still the threat of a post season ban they are monumental idiots. It does make a big difference and thankfully is behind us. And we get that one scholly back next season which means we can really work the portal hard.
I feel pretty good that KK will find right pieces to add to a really solid core.
KK is out from under the NCAA cloud, and having a good looking team and season. That should attract even more talent. Lets get the snowball rolling!
