NC State continues to work the transfer portal, with a focus on building around an already strong unit with the first five additions thus far. The Wolfpack has added three four-star players in Preston Edmead, Kyle Evans and Christian Hammond along with RJ Keene and Eemeli Yalaho committing late last week and Zymicah Wilkins set to return.

RJ Keene, who describes himself as the "Glue Guy," has committed to play for NC State for the 2026-27 season. The former Boise State menace is heading to Raleigh and brings a unique game as one of the top defensive guard/wings in the country, according to Evan Miyakawa and Bart Torvik.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- On Thursday night, NC State made a surprise addition with forward Eemeli Yalaho officially committing to the Wolfpack from Washington State.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Justin Gainey and the NC State men's basketball staff have been extremely active in the last several days, hosting four transfer portal players in the last three days -- with several more on the way.

Heading into the second weekend of transfer portal recruiting, NC State men's basketball is set to host a trio of high-profile official visitors in Raleigh. The Wolfpack will have three four-star targets on campus, with one set to arrive on Friday afternoon to kick off the big-time weekend ahead for the program.

While other teams across the country are building strong rosters with three, four and -- in some cases -- six commits out of the portal, NC State is still sitting at one with four-star guard Christian Hammond. Justin Gainey and his staff are Zooming and calling prospects every day and have hosted Bishop Boswell for a visit, but have yet to land some of the top prospects on the board.

On this episode of Coffee With Cory, we take a look at some of the new prospects to know like Colby Garland and Anton Bonke, discuss NC State hitting reset in the transfer portal, recent Wolfpack players entering the portal and an update on Paul McNeil and Zymicah Wilkins.

The Wolfpack is on the board with its first commitment of the 2026 transfer portal cycle, with former Santa Clara combo guard Christian Hammond committing to NC State. The four-star guard brings a three-level scoring threat, a strong shooting touch and solid defense as a pass disruptor.

NC State men's basketball had a strong start to the transfer portal season with Christian Hammond becoming Justin Gainey's first commitment. Along with landing Hammond, the Wolfpack also hosted Bishop Boswell for an official visit and is zeroing in on other targets from around the country.

On this episode of the Pack Power Weekly Podcast, Cory Smith and Charlie Gribble discuss Christian Hammond committing, the latest on Bishop Boswell, Justin Gainey hiring his staff, baseball and softball winning critical ACC series and NC State grad Christina Koch flying around the moon.
