N.C. State has received its first transfer commitment for the upcoming season; the team will start five past transfers against Purdue on Saturday in the Final Four. On social media on Thursday, Brandon Huntley-Hatfield declared his devotion to the Wolfpack. This past season, the 6-10, 240-pound forward led the Cardinals with 8.4 rebounds in 32 games and was Louisville’s second-leading scorer with 12.9 points per game. Huntley-Hatfield would provide the Pack with an additional post player to support Mohamed Diarra and Ben Middlebrooks, who are both anticipated to return for the upcoming year, as forward D.J. Burns is in his final year at N.C. State. Earlier this week, during his formal visit to the NCSU campus, he was hosted by Burns. Eleven players from Louisville have used the NCAA transfer site since former coach Kenny Payne was sacked last month.
After Payne was hired, Huntley-Hatfield, a former 5-star prospect, left Tennessee to play his freshman season at Louisville. On Thursday, Keatts was questioned about how the portal has changed college basketball. It’s a distinct world, Keatts remarked. Depending on what you require. Not everyone finds it effective. We’ve found that it works.
