As a junior, Greer averaged 16.0 points while shooting 40.3 percent beyond the arc and 90.1 percent at the charity stripe in leading Archbishop Alter to Ohio's Division II title. In other words, he's a proven sharpshooter and winner.

"I'm excited to have RJ join our program," eighth-year NC State basketball head coach Kevin Keatts noted in the press release announcing his signing. "He's a wonderful young man that comes from a great family, and he's going to be a great addition to our locker room. He's a high-IQ player. You can tell he's a coach's son.
"He can score the ball on all three levels but is definitely a high-level shooter right now. He's a winner. He won a state championship last season, and I always like a player that has a winning pedigree. I think he's a great fit for our system."
