The point guard position is set for next season as NC State added the number one point guard in the class of 2016. Dennis Smith Jr. committed to the Wolfpack just one day after Mark Gottfried went out of his way to show Smith just how much he wanted him in a Wolfpack uniform.
A day after coaches Mark Gottfried and Orlando Early used a helicopter for a recruiting trip to Fayetteville, Trinity Christian School senior Dennis Smith Jr. committed to the Wolfpack.
Smith's father confirmed the news Thursday night. Efforts to reach Smith have been unsuccessful.
Smith, who is recovering from August surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, is ranked as the No. 4 overall prospect and No. 1 point guard in the Class of 2016 by ESPN. He chose N.C. State over Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Kentucky and Louisville before taking any official, on-campus recruiting visits.
