Just a few weeks ago, we told you that Word of God Academy (Raleigh, N.C.) guard Torian Graham committed to NC State. Now you can see exactly what they got from the Class of 2012 stud who is quickly ascending the rankings. At the Big Shots Wootten Classic last weekend, the 6-4 scoring machine set a tournament record with 47 points – 33 in the first half – for the Carolina Hornets, and finished the game with 11 treys.

On the heels of point guard Ryan Harrow transferring, here’s some good news for NC State fans: new coach Mark Gottfried has taken his first huge step towards an ACC championship by securing a verbal commit from North Carolina Class of 2012 guard Torian Graham. The 6-4 scoring machine from Word of God Academy (Raleigh, N.C.) hoped to stay close to home to care for his sick mother. Florida State and Kentucky were also among the top schools considered. MORE >

Christ the King (Middle Village, NY) sophomore guard Isaiah Lewis will visit North Carolina State in February. “It may be around the middle of the month, but I haven’t confirmed that yet,” said Lewis. “I’m looking forward to it though. I hope it’s live!”
Lewis is one of the most talented Class of 2013 players in the country, and is already mulling over interest and offers from North Carolina, Kansas, Oregon, Florida, Villanova, Florida State, Kentucky, Ohio State, Arizona, UCLA, Miami, Rutgers, Oklahoma State and Washington. MORE >

When we profiled North Edgecombe (Tarboro, N.C.) junior forward Montrezl Harrell back in October, we highlighted the fact that the best part of his game was his powerful dunking ability and overall explosiveness.
Now it looks like that love for thunderous dunks — he had one game last season where he tallied 15 bangers — has vaulted him from entertaining to legendary. MORE >

Forsyth Country Day (Lewisville, N.C.) point guard Tyler Lewis will be out for at least the next two weeks with a high ankle sprain, according to his dad, Rick Lewis. “He’s out until December 22,” said Rick.
Tyler, who is ranked 22nd in the HSH National Top 50, suffered the injury last week in a game against Charlotte Christian at the end of the first quarter. By that time, the junior NC State commit had already managed 17 points and three assists before getting hurt. Lewis is averaging 29 points and eight assists so far this season.
