In one of NC State basketball coach Kevin Keatts’ most significant recruiting victories since he was hired by the Wolfpack, On3 Consensus five-star junior point guard Robert Dillingham chose Keatts’ program over finalists Kansas, Kentucky, LSU and Memphis.

Dillingham made his announcement on Instagram Wednesday afternoon.

Dillingham made an official visit to NC State Oct. 29, and he also took similar trips to Kentucky (Oct. 24), LSU (Oct. 15) and Memphis (Sept. 17).

The 6-foot-1, 160-pound native of Charlotte is the No. 11 prospect in the country’s 2023 class according to the On3 Consensus, the only rating system to put equal weight into all the industry rankings. He comes in at No. 3 among point guards.

The On3 rankings have Dillingham at No. 18 in the country and No. 4 point guard nationally among juniors.

As a sophomore at Combine Academy in Charlotte, Dillingham averaged 21.2 points, 4.9 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game. He transferred this fall to the newly established Donda Academy in Simi Valley, Calif.

Dillingham is the first commitment for NC State basketball in the 2023 class. It signed center Shawn Phillips Jr. from Dream City Christian in Glendale, Ariz., and guard LJ Thomas from Bull City Prep in Durham, N.C., during the fall signing period for the 2022 class.
