Not a single NC State starter began his career with the program, as each joined the Wolfpack via the transfer portal. The program serves as somewhat of a bounce-back spot for a crew of former blue-chip prospects, and it is a launchpad for former junior college star Mohamed Diarra, who ranked as the top overall player at the JUCO level in 2022, spent one year at Missouri and landed at Kevin Keatts’ program last offseason.
