The 6-foot-6, 170-pound smooth talent currently checks in at No. 74 overall, No. 12 among shooting guards, and No. 4 in Ohio on the 247Sports 2026 Composite. Bouie's overall ranking marks an 11-spot jump from where he debuted in September, and chances are he's on tap for another bump in the coming months.
In addition to the NC State basketball program, his offer sheet includes Alabama, Cincinnati, Missouri, Wake Forest, Marquette, and Ole Miss, plus several mid-major suitors. Moreover, Tarris Bouie revealed an offer from the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday, just a few hours after he advertised his offer from Will Wade's Wolfpack.
