From Bossi this morning:
Kevin Keatts continues to roll on the recruiting trail.
He and his staff at North Carolina State currently hold the No. 7 ranked recruiting class in 2020 and after Sunday night's commitment from top 50 forward Ernest Ross, the Pack's 2021 class has an early ranking of No. 6 nationally.
So, what should State fans expect from Ross? They should have pretty high expectations.
While Ross is far from a finished product, I absolutely love the athletic 6-foot-9 forward's upside. He runs the floor extremely well, he's a pogo stick around the rim and while he's still lean he has the exact type of frame with good shoulders and long arms that you like to see in a high end prospect. He's not yet a knockdown shooter, but he's also got a lot of promise as somebody who can stretch the floor and his shot looks pretty sound.
He's built to play the type of high octane hoops Keatts wants to play.
Ross joins North Carolina combo guard Terquavion Smith -- also a member of the 2021 Rivals150 -- as an early member of State's class. Smith is also a big-time athlete and built to play fast. Needless to say, things are looking good in Raleigh on the recruiting front.
