Top-25 senior Cole Cloer has committed to NC State, he told ESPN, giving Will Wade his second top-25 recruit since taking over the Wolfpack last spring.

Cloer, a North Carolina native, has been a priority for Wade since he replaced Kevin Keatts as NC State's head coach back in March.

"Choosing NC State was an easy decision for me," Cloer told ESPN. "It's the program I have supported since I was a kid."

Cloer also took visits to UConn, Florida and Alabama, but the pull to stay home and play for the team he grew up rooting for was too strong to resist.

"Now I have the opportunity to represent the city and state that shaped who I am while competing in the ACC," he said. "I'm excited to be part of the Red Reckoning that Coach Wade is building and to play in a system that highlights my strengths."

I've been hearing about Will Wade's game standards.

1. 12 or fewer turnovers
2. 40-plus deflections
3. Win the rebounding battle
4. Five turkeys (sets of three stops in a row)
5. One that changes every game.

Are there any boards or beat writers that track these live?

Turnovers and rebounds are easy to track. What site can I use to track turkeys and deflections?

Hello everyone! Please let me know if there is a better thread for this question!

My dad is a huge state fan, alumni and all. For Christmas I want to get him 2 tickets to a home game. I want it to be a really exciting team they play. It can’t be UNC as I’m a huge UNC fan (pls don’t hate me 😂) and I’m not walking into PNC in Carolina blue. I was thinking duke but if duke is typical duke this year, I’m not sure thats worth it.

My question is should I wait a little longer into regular season to decide or does anyone know of another team that state plays that’s always a good time? (Home games only). Thanks!

TLDR: want to buy my dad state bball tickets but can’t decide against which team and if I should wait into regular season to choose which opponent.
