The big evaluation period starts this month, and in particular this weekend, and NC State will be watching guys play in Dallas (adidas), New Orleans (Under Armour) and Hampton, Va. (Nike). NC State coach Mark Gottfried will likely be on the private jet going to multiple places, but assistant coach Bobby Lutz will be holding it down in Hampton, and assistant coaches Rob Moxley (New Orleans/Dallas) and Orlando Early (Dallas), will be at the other events.
Usually, Nike has most of the Wolfpack top targets, and it still has several, but adidas' circuit will be the big one thanks to Team Loaded NC point guard Dennis Smith Jr. and center Edrice Adebayo. Smith is ranked No. 4 in the country and plays for Fayetteville Trinity Chrisitan, and Adebayo is at No. 8 and attends Pinetown (N.C.) Northside. If NC State gets those two done, it would likely ensure a top three recruiting class.
