NC State basketball head coach Kevin Keatts and his team welcomed La Lumiere School (Ind.) guard Darius Adams for an official visit this weekend, which is the first of six he has planned for his senior year.

On Saturday night, Adams shared seven photos from his Wolfpack photoshoot on Instagram, showcasing him in the team’s black gear. Among the photos, one features him standing with his parents, while another captures him holding the 2024 ACC Tournament and NCAA Tournament South Region trophies in his lap.

The 6-foot-5, 165-pound versatile star, currently ranked No. 17 in the 247Sports 2025 Composite, is seen as NC State’s strongest possibility for attracting a five-star recruit in the 2025 class.

Next weekend, Adams will visit Tennessee to explore the Volunteers. He has four more official visits lined up: Michigan State the weekend after next, Alabama the following weekend, UConn on the first weekend of October, and Notre Dame the weekend after that.

Last weekend, the Wolfpack also hosted a key 2025 backcourt target, four-star Kaden Magwood from Combine Academy in North Carolina, who is ranked No. 57 in the class.
