The Wolfpack want to make sure this five-star talent doesn't end up anywhere but Raleigh.
NC State already won one recruiting battle over North Carolina during this recruiting cycle. Now, they aim to make it two.
The Wolfpack are putting on the full-court press to land five-star guard Deron Rippey Jr., a player who the UNC basketball program has been heavily in pursuit of. Scheduled to visit Raleigh this weekend, Rippey Jr.'s schedule has changed a bit, as he now is expected to arrive on campus earlier than originally anticipated.
