NC State Transfer Class Ranks Top-30 Nationally After Jacari Brim Commitment

NC State Men’s Basketball picked up its seventh commitment out of the Transfer Portal last night when former Appalachian State point guard Jacari Brim committed to run with the Wolfpack.

And with the latest addition, NC State’s portal class is now climbing nationally.

According to 247Sports, the Wolfpack’s 2026 transfer class currently ranks:

No. 29 nationally
No. 5 in the ACC

Still More Room to Climb

Perhaps the most important part?

NC State still has 5 open roster spots remaining

Which means the Wolfpack still has room to significantly improve both the roster itself and its national portal ranking before the start of the 2026-27 season.

At this point, the biggest remaining needs appear to be:

Additional frontcourt depth
Another true center
More experienced rotational pieces
