High to the North Carolina 4A state title last year, as the nation's No. 38 overall player nationally. PHOTO COURTESY RIVALS.COM Florida. In addition, UNC has been showing interest. Nerlens Noel, Tilton (N.H.) School: The reclassi- fied junior center is ranked No. 3 in the class, and is one of the most gifted defensive big men to come through the prep ranks since Greg Oden in 2006. Noel is the younger brother of NC State freshman strong safety Rodman Noel, and has said in past interviews he would like to unofficially visit and meet the basketball coaches while seeing his brother. The 6-10, 200-pounder from Everett, Mass., has the who's who of college basketball recruiting him — Connecticut, Providence, Syracuse, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky and Florida. Jimmie Taylor, Greensboro (Ala.) High: The tall, lean, shot-blocking presence earned notice with his play last July with the Alabama Challenge, leading to an NC State offer. However, the 6-9, 200-pounder enjoyed a national coming out party in mid-October when he participated with a select group of invited 2013 and 2014 players for the USA trials in Colorado Springs, Colo. Rivals.com ranks him No. 73 overall in the country, but he'll likely rise in the rankings in the future. Alabama, Au- burn, Georgetown, Georgia, Miami, Mississippi, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt are some of his other offers. ■ For regular reports on NC State basketball recruiting plus videos of Wolfpack commitments and targets visit TheWolfpacker.com.
