So dun, do you think Withers is a candidate for the Hellems/Hamilton stretch-4 spot only if we miss on both of those guys, or are we considering offering Withers even if we get Steere and one of Hellems/Hamilton?

---

Not dun, but Withers is 2019. Rick's tweet was wrong. Those questions will still need to be answered, but not in this class.

Another question for Dunlow. Is Springer a no-brainer at PG or is Cone on his level as a prospect? If so who do you like best and more important can the staff wait until 2020 for PG recruit?

---

I love Whthers long term potential as a stretch 4.


As for Springer/Cone.....I am really impressed with Cone's game and athleticism, despite the height concerns. I think he is going to be an outstanding college PG.

Fans will love this young man's power game. Will have a collection of face melting dunks before he leaves NCSU.

Who was at the game? Did the staff host anyone else beside Ian Steere?

6'8 '18 Jae'lyn Withers & 6'3 '20 Tristan Maxwell will be on unofficial visit to NC State tomorrow

Unless he has somehow reclassified, Withers is Class of '19....and a name to watch. This young man is going to climb in the ratings. Would love to have him in Raleigh.

He has not reclassed, just a typo....and I agree. Love his potential

Still hearing Keldon Johnson could go to any of his four finalist.

UK roster concerns have prevented them from sealing the deal on this one.
Maryland visit ongoing
Texas still has a strong shot with Shaka's existing relationship being the key.
NCState has made if farther along in this one than many ever gave us credit for and I still hear we are in better shape than a lot of peopel think.


This one could go in any direction.

He's a top 25 talent. Wonder if the events of this past week have had any impact?

Isaiah Todd (#1 player in 2020 class) was at NC State yesterday for an unofficial visit.

Think this one goes to a blue blood.


At least Coach Keatts and staff have time and are in the discussion.

Duke has offered 2019 wing Joey Baker of Trinity Christian NC @Joey_bvker

PG Jalen Cone did make it to visit yesterday. If you have not checked out this kid yet.....I suggest you do so. He has 'it'

According to the Loaded AAU page he was there for a visit. Is this not the case?

https://247sports.com/Player/Saddiq-Bey-46041574

My take on Bey's game


Pure scorer on the court. Very, very good three point shooter. Also gets up and dunks with the best of them. Could even grow a few more inches. Wouldnt be surpirsed to see him top out at about 6'8. Active hands and will get out on the break in a hurry. Very effective jab step that opens up either 'the lane' or a nice three point attempt. He will shoot over shorter defenders and is a willing passer. He will get the ball to open shooters if the defense doubles him or he breaks down his own man. Better at gettting his own shot off the dribble than he is as using screens/pick and roll action. Can shoot the 'pull up' going right or left. Nice body control when he has contact with the defender.

Bey Highlights

Bey is most likely to go to Maryland right?

Xavier, Pitt, and Northwestern are contenders. Miami was, but I wonder if all the current negative publicity for that program has taken them out of the running. Some feel like Xavier is the leader, but I think we could make a move here if we push. Feel like Xavier has fallen back a bit

Would be a great backup plan to Keldon Johnson.

Is Steere still planning on announcing today? If so, do we know what time?

He is will commit on Friday the 6th

Getting some Maryland buzz for Keldon Johnson. Just visited there, so that could be part of it. Recruits often say what players/fans/coaches want to hear while on an OV.

Still, some feel they made up ground and could get KJ on board soon.

Dang it's a long drive from South Hill to Maryland.

Not sure if already posted, but former 2018 Gottfried recruiting target Xavier Johnson (Bishop O'Connell 6-3 Guard) committed to Nebraska. Saw him play a few times and he's a decent player.

Out of that list I feel he will land at Florida since he goes to IMG

Any recruits going to be at the game Thursday night? Should be a great atmosphere.

Saddiq Bey for one. Potentially, Ian Steere.

Only other recruits would have to be local. I wouldn't imagine underclassmen kids traveling long distances on a school night LOL

I have heard a Florida commitment from Simmons is imminent

Any truth in dook being Joey Baker's leader?

They offered......they are Duke. They get a LOT of their top targets. Not a stretch to say they lead, but I hear Baker also likes NC State. We'll see. Once upon a time, Duke was considered the leader for DSJ. Things change.

I would use the word "contender" and not "leader" with the Baker commitment/offer
