The special Under Armour-sponsored outdoor all-star game in Brooklyn, N.Y., called the Elite 24, will have several NC State targets in the mix. That is if they all show up Aug. 22 on ESPNU. I've heard Nike is trying to battle against the long-running Elite 24, and nine of the players invited play for Nike-sponsored traveling teams.
2016 targets invited:
Dennis Smith Jr., point guard (might be injured for the game)
Edrice Adebayo, center
Markelle Fultz, shooting guard
Rawle Alkins, shooting guard
2017 targets:
Trevon Duval, point guard
Hamidou Diallo, shooting guard
Billy Preston, forward
M.J. Walker, shooting guard
The Big Strick Classic is also taking place Aug. 8, but won't be on TV. Adebayo, Fultz and several junior targets have been invited to that NYC event. Among the juniors:
Trevon Duval, point guard
Hamidou Diallo, shooting guard
Billy Preston, forward
D.J. Harvey, small forward
Matt Coleman, point guard
Lonnie Walker, shooting guard
Nicholas Richards, center
