Darius Adams' Recruitment Heats Up as Top Prospects Vie for His Commitment

La Lumiere School (Ind.) senior guard Darius Adams, a prime target for the NC State basketball program, has been making the rounds on the recruiting trail, with his visit slate undergoing some recent changes. As one of the top prospects in the 2025 class, Adams' decision is eagerly anticipated by several elite programs vying for his commitment.

Highly Sought-After Talent Weighs His Options

Shifting Visits and Canceled Plans

Darius Adams, ranked No. 19 overall in the 247Sports 2025 Composite, has been actively exploring his options. He recently moved up his visit to UConn, originally scheduled for early October, to last week, where he spent three days with the Huskies. Fresh off his weekend tour of Michigan State, Adams has also canceled his planned official visit to Alabama, which was set for next weekend.

Positive Feedback from UConn Visit

Rivals national recruiting insider Rob Cassidy has highlighted Adams' trip to UConn as one of the most impactful recent recruiting visits across the country. Reigning back-to-back national champion head coach Dan Hurley and his staff have undoubtedly prioritized the 6-foot-5, 165-pound backcourt talent, and the feedback from the visit has been overwhelmingly positive.

NC State's Pursuit and Recent Momentum

Adams was in Raleigh for an official visit with eighth-year NC State basketball head coach Kevin Keatts and the Wolfpack during the first weekend of September. He then checked out Tennessee the following weekend before heading to UConn a few days later. While the Wolfpack staff is not seen as the favorite, the program has been making strides in the 2025 recruiting arena, securing a commitment from Christ School (N.C.) four-star big man Zymicah Wilkins following his official visit this weekend.

Anticipation Builds as Decision Looms

Given the recent moves and the jam-packed stretch of official visits that Adams has just completed, it wouldn't be a surprise if he has either made up his mind or is close to deciding on a winning suitor. However, the highly sought-after prospect has not yet advertised an announcement date, leaving his future destination still uncertain.

Wolfpack Remains in the Mix

While the Wolfpack may not be the frontrunner, their continued pursuit of Adams and the program's recent momentum in the 2025 recruiting cycle suggest that they remain a viable option for the talented guard. As the recruitment process unfolds, the anticipation surrounding Darius Adams' decision continues to build, with several elite programs eagerly awaiting his commitment.
