CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Deuce Bello, a combo guard from Greensboro, has N.C. State on his list of college choices with three other ACC teams, Cleveland State and Baylor.
Bello, who's attending the NBA Players Association Top 100 Camp, said the addition of freshmen Ryan Harrow, C.J. Leslie and Lorenzo Brown helps the Wolfpack's chances.
"That helps them a lot," said Bello, who's ranked No. 91 in the class of 2011. "Especially Ryan Harrow and C.J. Leslie, that's a great combo right there."
Bello scored 10 points for the Jazz in the first game on Thursday morning in a 100-75 loss to the Rockets.
Bello teamed with ACC targets Tyler Lewis (Wake Forest, N.C. State, Virginia), Cody Zeller (Wake Forest, UNC) and Adjehi Baru (Maryland, Virginia Tech) and showed a surprising ability to create shots for others.
At 6-3, Bello has a skinny frame and long arms. He's more of a scoring guard than a point guard but he's working on his passing, he said.
"I was trying to get everyone involved," Bello said.
Bello said he has already visited Clemson and plans to visit Maryland, Miami, Baylor, Cleveland State and N.C. State.
The Wolfpack, which has four scholarships available for the class of 2011, has offered him a scholarship, he said.
One potential factor in Bello's college choice, he calls Brian Clifton his "mentor." Clifton, a club team coach, also helped former Raleigh prep star John Wall in his recruiting process.

If Clifton is involved there is no way Bello ends up with the Wolfpack. Sleazipari would be the likely coach to deal with Clifton's graft and corruption.
When will they get the slime balls out of the high school game? Terrible. Hopefully, Bello can get away from Clifton. Bad news all over him.
