Bam Adebayo is expected to make his college announcement on Tuesday.
N.C. State, Kentucky and Auburn are among those involved for the 6-foot-10 power forward from High Point Christian (N.C.). He took officials to the first two and an unofficial to Auburn.
Adebayo’s most recent visit came to N.C. State in late October.
“It was exciting,” Eric Peartree, Adebayo’s mentor, told Scout.com. “I think he had a great time. It was electric, with Clemson in town and just being able for him to interact with the fanbase. Bam’s mom was able to come for the weekend and so overall it was a great experience.
“Junior [Smith] was there with his family. I really believe it was like a homecoming for Bam… it was like being back with family again.”
Kentucky coach John Calipari has met with Adebayo – and his mother – in North Carolina.
Still, N.C. State remains a strong possibility at least in part because they already landed a verbal pledge from Smith Jr., a close friend of Adebayo’s. Smith Jr. recently announced he will enroll at N.C. State in January in order to facilitate his ACL recovery.
Adebayo averaged 14.2 points and 10.6 rebounds for Team Loaded North Carolina on the Adidas Gauntlet circuit this season.
