Four-star center Mikey Wilkins is off the board.
Wilkins — the 6-foot-8, 215-pound big man from Christ School (NC) and the Team United Nike EYBL AAU program — committed to N.C. State on Saturday.
Ranked the No. 11 center in the Class of 247Sports Composite, he was also recruited by Mississippi State, LSU, Clemson, Georgia, Louisville and Virginia.
“Coach [Kevin] Keatts has been in contact with me since last year,” he told ZAGSBLOG this summer. “I went on a visit there. I felt it was a great a coaching staff. I talked to all the coaches there and we went out to eat and had a good conversation. So it was pretty good.”
He describes himself as a four.
“Shoot it, get teammates involved and run to the rim,” Wilkins said of his game. “Get rebounds.” Wilkins has trimmed his body and lost some weight, which he said has helped his conditioning. The big man is also working on being more consistent with his jumper.
Basketball runs in the family as Mikey’s older brother, Zyrion Wilkins, played for Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte.
