NC State has recruited Hart for over two years and faced stiff competition from Maryland and the in-state program for Hart: Minnesota.
Most believe Hart could be the long-term replacement for Wolfpack All-American Elissa Cunane.
As a junior she helped lead Farmington to a 28-2 record while averaging over 18 points and 12 rebounds per game.
Hart is NC State’s third five-star commitment in the 2021 class, joining guard Jessica Timmons and Aziaha James.
ESPN Scouting Report: Blue-collar low-post prospect brings skilled interior game, footwork, produces results; defensive presence in the block, rebounds and initiates the fast break; mobile in uptempo game; consistent workhorse on the boxes; continues as a stock-riser in the class of 2021.
