    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Rawle action RuckerN.C. State will host three of the biggest names in the Class of 2016 on Saturday as it continues to try to build a blockbuster class.

    Rawle Alkins, the 6-foot-5 guard from Raleigh (N.C.) Word of God Academy, Bam Adebayo, the 6-10 forward from High Point Christian, and Udoka Azubuike, a 6-10 center from Jacksonville (FL) Potter’s House Christian, will all visit the ACC school, sources told SNY.tv. Azubuike’s brother, Harry Coxsome, confirmed the visit for his brother.

    N.C. state head coach Mark Gottfried has recently visited Alkins and Adebayo at their schools and will now get both on campus. The Wolfpack have already landed 2016 point guard Dennis Smith Jr. for their 2016 class. Alkins famously invited the injured Smith Jr. (ACL) to pose with his victorious adidas Nations team after winning the event this summer.

    Adebayo is coming off a visit to Auburn this past weekend, while Alkins has recently visited North Carolina and St. John’s. Azubuike recently took an official to Kansas.
