Four-star point guard Silas Demary, Jr has had quite the week. The top five available point guard ended his second senior year official visit to NC State on Sunday. On Monday, Wake Forest’s Steve Forbes and VCU were in to see him. Tuesday had Oklahoma in the gym, and he picked up an Alabama offer. On Wednesday, NC State’s Kevin Keatts stopped in along with Memphis and Clemson.

Today, Southern California head coach Andy Enfield is at Lincolnton (NC) Combine Academy with assistants Chris Capko and Eric Mobley. Demary took an official visit to Southern California on September 3. St. John’s is also by the school to see Demary.

Demary went on three junior year official visits to St. John’s, VCU, and Tennessee. The Southern California and NC State visits are the only two senior year visits for the 6-foot-5 point guard. The four-star has three possible visits remaining.

Demary is the No. 61 player in On3’s 2023 rankings. He is No. 70 in the industry-standard 2023 On3 Consensus.
