Blue-chip recruit Anthony “Cat” Barber, a Hampton, Va., native, has decided to join Mark Gottfried and a host of other talented youngsters at N.C. State, multiple reports indicate. Barber, a 6’2”, 165-pound point guard in the Class of 2013, joins incoming freshmen Rodney Purvis, T.J. Warren and Tyler Lewis — all of whom were consensus Top 100 recruits — as part of a big-time youth movement for the Wolfpack.

Barber was also considering the Kansas Jayhawks and Alabama Crimson Tide, but stuck with the school closest to home. He is a consensus five-star recruit and considered the second-best point guard in his class behind still-uncommitted Texas product Andrew Harrison. They're excited in Raleigh to welcome their new point guard.
