ESPN ranks NC State as the 13th best ‘Transfer Class’ in their first ever official ranking

In the past, official rankings have been reserved for high school recruiting, but now ESPN is introducing an official ‘Transfer Class Rankings.’

In their first ranking, they have NC State coming in at #13. Here is what they had to say…

“It was clear NC State would take big swings in the transfer portal under new coach Will Wade, and though it took until late May, the Wolfpack came away with one of the best transfers in the country in Williams. He’s versatile, he’s a mismatch for most opponents and he gives Wade a go-to guy for his first season in Raleigh. Wade surrounded his star player with proven high-major talent, including NCAA tournament starters Holloman and Lubin. Arceneaux has a tantalizing ceiling on the offensive end. Two players from Wade’s McNeese roster have also come along.”

This is a pretty nice spot for NC State, seeing as the rest of the Top-12 is pretty elite.

1. St. Johns
2. Kentucky
3. Michigan
4. Louisville
5. Florida
6. Washington
7. Indiana
8. Oklahoma
9. USC
10. Iowa
11 . Creighton
12. Auburn
13. NC State

NC State went all in to get Will Wade, and the early returns are exactly what they expected.
