Each and every time Phenom Hoop Report gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Robert Dillingham
Class: 2023
Committed to: NC State
What does it mean for NC State:
What does Dillingham’s commitment to NC State mean? Honestly, it means A LOT… Why? Let us start with his game, as Dillingham is one of the most prolific scorers in the country and has shown it time after time after time. With the ball in his hands, there isn’t a shot he can’t make or a play her can’t create, as his skill set is extremely high. And Dillingham continues to show his scoring power consistently, even when there are doubters. He isn’t afraid of the big state; he embraces it and he now gives the Wolfpack not only one of the top players in the country but an offensive juggernaut in the coming years. What does it mean for NC State? It could be even bigger for the program. When they lost Josh Hall to the NBA Draft, it was a huge blow in losing a player of that caliber. Dillingham now gives Keatts an absolute star that will have this program buzzing very quickly. He should come in right away for this program and help lead this team, as NC State becomes an extremely attractive place for future recruits to possibly join up with Dillingham. Keatts hasn’t landed a star-like Dillingham before, as this changes the game in a lot of ways for NC State.

What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“Dillingham was his classic self, making things look easy, showing great court awareness, showing off his shiftiness and creativity on the floor, and scoring the basketball in an array of ways. At times, he makes it looks so easy in his ability to create space and get his shot off. He also stepped up when his team needed a bucket, ultimately finishing with 30 points in the win.”
“DIllingham is an absolute bucket-getter and scored all over the court. His ability to shake defenders, get downhill and finish at the rim, knock shots down from the perimeter, and his change of pace/direction with the ball in his hands are elite. He understands how to keep defenders guessing and just has that scoring mentality… at times, he makes it look so easy.”
“We know that Dillingham is special and he showed why once again, as he makes the game just look easy to him. What some players work so hard on, Dillingham just plays on another level and understands that there aren’t many that can slow him down from getting his buckets. He did that on Day 2, going for another 30+ point performance.”
“The best scorer in the country for his class. He can score from all over the court. The shifty guard has the ball on a string and is able to create his shot against anyone. He has a beautiful shooting stroke and every time the ball leaves his hands you feel like it is going in. In their game vs Bull City National he scored 34 points. No matter who you put on him, there is no slowing him down.”
“2023 Robert Dillingham continues to show why he’s one of the best guards in the nation. He finished the game with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals. He is so crafty with the ball and a big-time shot-maker who is able to make the difficult shots look easy. You can never relax against him. He is always in attack mode and at any moment, he can light up the score sheet.”
