NC State Offers 4-Star 7-Foot Center Peyton Marshall

Published

4 weeks ago

on

4-Star 2024 Center Peyton Marshall (7’0″/310) had a good conversation with NC State Head Coach Kevin Keatts on Sunday, and by the end of it, he’d received an offer from NC State.

Marshall is a consensus 4-star prospect, and 247Sports ranks him as the #46 overall player nationally in the 2024 recruiting class, the #6 Center, and the #4 player in the state of Georgia.

Some call him the “Shaq” of High School Basketball. Imagine Marshall coming in right after D.J. Burns leaves?

Marshall is a former Auburn commit, but recently decommitted after some changes within the staff.

So did the PI staff take vacation? Are they too shocked at Miranda leaving to even comment? It has been over a week since any news was posted.

“Had a good conversation” is an odd phrase. Normally you hear ‘after visiting‘.

You’d love to have an even taller ‘unstoppable force’ but it’s a long road from ‘being offered’ to actually putting on the jersey. Not going to get excited about this guy for another year, if he even does sign with us.

Don’t worry, he will not be coming to State. I am surprised that Burns came back.

I’m not worried about his weight. He will get in shape under KK. Has anyone noticed the pics of Burns from the beginning of last year to now.?

North Carolina High School Athletes Will Now be Able to Profit off NIL

Published

May 4, 2023

By

NIL has shaken up the college sports world, and now it will be shaking up the high school sports world in North Carolina (NCHSAA), becoming one of 27 states to approve the ability for high school athletes to profit off their Name, Image and Likeness.

This will officially take place beginning July 1.

In order for a student athlete to begin this process, they will have to take a course on NIL, and their parents, coaches and athletic director will as well. Schools and coaches will not be able to represent the student in NIL Deals, and they will also not be allowed to use NIL as a way to draw athletes to their school.

There are restrictions on what student athletes can profit off of though.

The NCHSAA will prohibit student-athletes from entering into NIL deals with products around adult entertainment, alcohol, cannabis, controlled substances, firearms and ammunition, gambling, prescription drugs, as well as tobacco, vaping, and other Nicotine-related products. Athletes cannot affiliate themselves with a specific school, conference, school district, the NCHSAA, or the NFHS through a NIL deal.

Last Thursday, the Wolfpack offered 2024 Small Forward Jahki Howard (6’7″/180) out of Overtime Elite (Atlanta, GA).

ESPN ranks Howard as the #53 overall player nationally in the 2024 recruiting class, and the #3 player in the state of Georgia.

Howard is familiar with NC State, because NC State 2023 signee Trey Parker played with him down at Overtime Elite. In 2022-23, Howard averaged 10.1 points per game, shooting 58.6% from the field.

Check out these pictures of Howard on an unofficial visit to NC State with Parker.

Yesterday 3-Star 2024 Running Back Jayden Scott (5’10″/190) verbally committed to NC State.

Scott chose to run with the Wolfpack over Wake Forest and Rutgers. “Duke” battled injury during his Junior season at Stockbridge (Stockbridge, GA), but did play in the final 5 games, averaging 108.4 yards rushing per game. He averaged 8.5 yards per carry, and rushed for 10 touchdowns.

The Wolfpack now has 5 verbal commitments in their 2024 recruiting class. Even though QB Cedrick Bailey and CB Asaad Brown are 4-star recruits according to Rivals, Scott is the highest rated out of the 5 according to ON3.
