New N.C. State basketball coach Kevin Keatts said recruiting this late in the season is like shopping on Christmas Eve.
“You’ve got to take whatever is left out there,” he said.
That’s something he’ll have to do since he was hired in March, when most recruits have already made up their minds about where they’ll go to school.
Keatts said he won’t try to sign a player who isn’t the right fit for the team and said he isn’t sure if he plans to sign anyone before the end of recruiting season on May 17.
“We’re not going to just settle for recruits,” Keatts said Sunday at his introductory news conference.
