Last week Jeff Goodman of Field of 68 said “I’d be shocked if PJ Haggerty didn’t end up at NC State.”

The reality is, no matter how many times people tell you someone has silently committed, or someone is a “lock,” it’s not over until it’s over.

This past season, Haggerty earned Consensus 2nd Team All-American honors, averaging 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.8 steals for the Tigers. Haggerty was named the 2025 AAC Player of the Year. In his third year of college ball, Haggerty improved his outside shot, making 36.4% from three.

The year before, he averaged 21.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.9 steals with Tulsa, earning 3rd Team All-AAC honors.

Haggerty redshirted his first collegiate season at TCU.

247Sports ranks him as a 5-Star Transfer Portal prospect, the #2 overall player to enter the Portal and the #1 Point Guard. Haggerty is the highest ranked player currently in the Portal according to 247Sports’ rankings. ON3 ranks him as the #5 overall player to enter the Transfer Portal, and the #1 Shooting Guard.

Also, it’s worth noting that NC State is also still in the mix with Texas Tech Transfer Forward Darrion Williams. ON3 ranks Williams as the #6 player to enter the Transfer Portal this offseason, and the #1 Small Forward.

Could Will Wade pull off a miracle and land both Haggerty and Williams?  Is there room for both? Is there room for only one?

Haggerty has 1 year of eligibility remaining.
