NC State commit Paul McNeil is back at Richmond Sr. High ‘working harder than ever’

During his first game of his freshman year at Richmond Sr. High, Paul McNeil had 22 points in the first half. Before the second half started, he looked at coach _ Pettigrew with a simple question: ‘Coach, do you still want me to shoot?’ The answer was obvious. Of course he did. Fast forward four years, McNeil is a four-star small forward and the No. 60 player in the class of 2024, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He has been committed to NC State since February, but before he heads to Raleigh to join the Wolfpack, McNeil has some unfinished business to tend to at Richmond.
