What are you hearing about PJ Haggerty? What could be the ultimate destination for him?

Goodman: NC State. I’d be shocked if he doesn’t end up there. He’s going through the process at this point. His recruitment process kind of slowed down as he decided, and his dad is running his whole deal there. ‘Let’s go through the NBA Draft process, and then we’ll kind of make an announcement soon after.’ I would think, like, it would be, honestly, one of the most ill-advised decisions for PJ Haggerty to stay in the NBA Draft, when he’s got good money coming to him, likely at NC State. Go back. Play for Will Wade. It will be a good backcourt, with (Tre) Holloman and him. That’s an easy one for me.

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.
