Kevin Keatts and NC State Not Focused on NCAA Investigation

Yesterday NC State Head Coach Kevin Keatts met with the media yesterday at the Wolfpack’s 2019, and he spoke to his perspective on the NCAA investigation into the Men’s basketball program, his players perspective, and how it’s effected recruiting.

“From a recruiting standpoint, it’s been a little bit of a challenge,” Keatts said Thursday of the NCAA case during the Wolfpack’s preseason media day. “As you know in basketball or any sport, any time of your competitors can use something that may happen or may not happen against you, then they do.

“From our standpoint, we really have just focused on these guys and how successful we can be. Honestly we don’t even talk about it.” (NBC)

“I’ve left everything up to our compliance office and our general counsel,” Keatts said Thursday at the Wolfpack’s preseason media day event. “From where I look at it with our players, we don’t concentrate on it. We don’t talk about it. Our guys are locked in.”

“We can’t control what we can’t control,” he said. “We don’t know what the situation is. We feel good as a program because there’s a new staff here. That’s all I can say.” (SI)
