Justin Ahrens is a three-star wing in the 2018 recruiting class who had been committed to Ohio State prior to the Buckeyes’ coaching change this offseason. Since Thad Matta’s retirement, he’s decided to re-open his recruitment and will visit NC State next week, per Rivals’ Cory Evans.
Ahrens also plans to visit Vanderbilt and Virginia Tech.
It’s not fun to have to replace a bunch of scholarship players, but this is the situation facing Kevin Keatts after the 2017-18 season. The advantage to it, at least, is that Keatts can sell playing time.
