Power Forward Ernest Ross announced this morning that he is returning to NC State for his final year of eligibility.
Last Friday, Ross committed to UTSA after entering the Transfer Portal on April 17th, but it looks like he had a change of heart over the past couple of days.
NC State has been in desperate need to add a Big out of the Portal. They have hosted ECU’s Ezra Ausar and Georgia’s Frank Anselem-Ibe, but neither of them have found a home yet. With the addition of Ross, NC State has added depth in the Frontcourt, and unless something changes, their roster is full with 13 scholarship players.
Ross played in 14 games this past season, averaging 3.4 minutes per contest. After playing in 34 games last season, averaging 11.4 minutes per contest, Ross saw his participation dip to a career low this season, but that didn’t for a second break his infectious personality. On the sideline, you could count on Ross every single game to be the heart and soul of the Wolfpack on the bench. To watch a player who played as little as he did, care as much as he did, makes me super proud that this young man represented NC State so well.
Ross was a consensus 4-star player in NC State’s 2021 recruiting class, with 247Sports ranking him as the #60 overall player nationally. ESPN ranked him as the #5 overall player in the state of Florida.
PI I think the thing with Brown, is he gets really after one or the other ( O or D ).
This has to mark the beginning of the Harrow era. I mean c’mon, Javi did basically nothing and Harrow put up almost 20 on these heads. Please Sidney see the light.
Jim, we not only share the same view on the Harrow, but the same first name.
Represent it well my friend.
Saturday marks the beginning of ACC play. It NEEDS to also mark the beginning of the “Harrow Era.”
Point-blank, period.
I’m a huge fan of Harrow but if you’ve watched any games this season you can see that he has no defense at all. I’m almost 40 and 220 lbs and I think I can get by the kid. Offensively, I don’t think Javi comes close to him. Ryan has great court vision and the ability to create his own shot. However, he won’t be a complete player until he starts playing D.
Bull shit.
