NC State has added yet another player to its 2018 basketball recruiting class. One month after visiting campus, Kevin Keatts and the Wolfpack have landed a commitment from Saddiq Bey.
Bey, a 4-star small forward, is ranked as the No. 83 player in the 2018 class by 247 Sports. 15 different programs offered scholarships to Bey; however, in the end, the 6-foot-7 forward picked NC State over Xavier.
