NC State has prioritized junior wing Paul McNeil from the beginning of his sophomore year, and he knew the Wolfpack was the place for him.
McNeil became NC State’s first commit for the class of 2024, giving coach Kevin Keatts a strong start. Rivals.com ranks McNeil at No. 38 overall in the country in his class. The 6-foto-6, 170-pounder had officially visited NC State on Feb. 18-19, coinciding the North Carolina game, which the Wolfpack won 77-69.
McNeil was originally offered by NC State on Sept. 25, 2021, and he’s unofficially visited the Wolfpack for various football and basketball events.
McNeil became a top 50 recruit his sophomore year at Rockingham (N.C.) Richmond County, and then he established himself with Garner Road 16s, where he played with fellow NCSU junior recruiting target Rakease Passmore of Lincolnton (N.C.) Combine Academy.
McNeil elected to transfer to Napa (Calif.) Prolific Prep for his junior year, but returned back to Richmond County before Thanksgiving. He was able to unofficially visit for a NC State basketball game, prior to his official visit.
Richmond County finished the regular season at 23-2, and McNeil entered the NCHSAA 4A playoffs averaging 23.9 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in 18 contests.
