NC State does have 1 scholarship available, and could still add a player out of the Transfer Portal. With that being said, the roster for the Men’s Basketball team is pretty much set for the 2024-25 season.
Non-graduates had to enter the Transfer Portal by April 30th, and Graduates had to enter by May 1st. Jayden Taylor and Michael O’Connell both made public announcements that they were returning, but the closure of entrance to the Portal means that Breon Pass, Ben Middlebrooks, Dennis Parker Jr. and MJ Rice are all set to return next season.
In a world where the Transfer Portal has all but become free agency in College Basketball, with some players switching schools on an annual basis, it’s encouraging that Kevin Keatts not only recruited a Top-10 Transfer Class, but also recruited a majority of the eligible players to stay. Three players that could transfer entered the Portal (I’m not counting Mohamed Diarra in these numbers, who opted to go pro), while 6 opted to continue running with the Wolfpack.
As a result, below is a breakdown of the roster for the NC State Men’s Basketball team heading into 2024-25, realizing the Wolfpack could still add one player (this team is deep).

The ncaa,nba,or any other organization,should take their stand to another stage,like to their politians to do a vote referimdon.guit descriminating against the ones that are in favor of Mccoy for standing up for our rights and morals.when does $$$,value more the the majority right of moral descent living.shame on the ncaaa,and the acc too.
Look, I’m a damn Trump supporter and I can see right through HB2. If the republican party is ever going to come back its not going to be on the backs of these divisive racist laws. McCrory if a freaking joke and so is this discussion. Its killing North Carolina revenue and separating our communities.
I hate the NCAA as much as anyone else, but I’m glad they are making NC pay for this law.
I don’t think anyone has a problem having a conversation about trasngenders and bathrooms, but when you lump in a bunch of turn back the clock laws that don’t allow people to sue for discrimination, you are allowing the foundation to be laid for racism at the state level. No thanks.
Don’t let the door…. The NCAA is an organization, much like the federal government, gone awry. Hope NC does not compromise the safety of its women and children to appease the deviant actions of the NCAA.
Interesting that the NCAA “can’t” force colleges to make sure they are providing a real education, instead of fake classes, but can try to bully NC into telling us who should use what bathroom…priorities…
