Stock-rising backcourt prospect Davion Hannah has scheduled eight official visits for his senior year. That slate begins with a tour of Alabama at the end of August. It includes a weekend stay with the NC State basketball program in early October. And it ends with a trip to Pitt the third weekend of October.

Louisville, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan State, and Cincinnati are the other schools that Hannah will check out in person before potentially deciding on a winner in time for the early signing period in November.

On Monday evening, the 6-foot-5, 175-pound four-star, who hails from Wisconsin but recently announced his transfer from in-state Nicolet High School to prep powerhouse Link Academy in Branson, Mo., took another significant step in his recruitment by revealing a top nine. Hannah's list of contenders includes the Wolfpack and the other seven suitors he plans to visit, and he tacked on Xavier.

The 18-year-old Davion Hannah, up 18 spots since this time last year to No. 29 overall on the 247Sports 2025 Composite and within striking distance of five-star status, is a high-flying momentum-changer and undeniably intense competitor on both ends of the court.

He racked up over 20 offers, meaning roughly a dozen did not survive his cuts on Monday night.

NC State basketball head coach Kevin Keatts and his crew have landed one 2025 commit: Archbishop Alter High School (Ohio) three-star guard Ricardo Greer Jr.
