Caleb Martin, a 6-7, 215-pound wing for N.C. State visited East Carolina on Saturday and tweeted Official to ECU today! #Pirates...

He and his brother Cody were then seen on their trip at the East Carolina - Cincinnati baseball game Saturday afternoon where the Pirates took a 6-4 win in game two of the three game AAC series at Clark-LeClair Stadium.

Caleb Martin, out of Mocksville and Oak Ridge Academy was a double-figure scorer in Raleigh last season at 11.5 points a game and started in 19 games for the Wolfpack.

If they end up at East Carolina, that would be two solid pickups for Jeff Lebo's Pirates. They would have to sit out one year under NCAA transfer rules and would then have two years of eligibility remaining.

Rutgers, Providence, California and Old Dominion are among those trying to land them.

Cody at 6-7, 215 started the last 16 games of the season and was known as one of the better defensive players on the team. He tossed in 6.0 points and pulled down 4.4 boards per game.

Both twins expressed concerns about their role in coach Mark Gottfried’s system at N.C. State and reportedly want to go to the same school.

The Pirates earlier picked up Wake Forest 7-0 transfer center Andre Washington.
