Kevin Keatts just landed a potential program-changing player in point guard Robert Dillingham, who is a consensus top-10 player in the 2023 class. Dillingham is the highest-rated prospect that Keatts has landed in his time at NC State, and the highest-rated prospect to commit to the Pack since Dennis Smith Jr.
Dillingham picked State over Kentucky, Memphis, LSU, and Kansas. He appeared headed to Kentucky until yesterday, basically.
Keatts has had his share of recruiting setbacks and we should not count our point guards before they show up on campus, but the potential for someone with Dillingham’s talent to change the program’s near-term future for the better is undeniable.
