Hey, Gainey said it, not us 🤷♂️
Justin Gainey coached Zakai Zeigler for four years. Now he says Preston Edmead reminds him of the All-American guard. 👀

We put their numbers side by side...and Edmead’s freshman season makes this comparison even more interesting.

I know this might be a silly exercise, but based of of the Final NET Rankings from last season, NC State's 2026-27 Men's Basketball schedule looks to be a little bit easier than last season.

If you listened to our last podcast, you know what we think of Hammond.
Much bigger/thicker in person than you expect. Strong player, great skills, efficient scorer.
Won't wow you on the highlight reels, but his box score and advanced analytics gonna have you like 😍😍😍
ONE ON ONE: Christian Hammond was the first player to commit to NC State’s rebuilt roster and should slot in as an impact do-it-all scorer.
Hammond talks chemistry, his role, and his game.

Could DJ Eliot go back to a 3-man Cornerback rotation, like he did in 2025?

Darius Adams (transfer from Maryland - Former McDonalds AA) is a key piece for NC State. He's brings something to the table that no other guy brings.
He can break you down off the dribble, get to the rim and finish. But his efficiency numbers were bad last year.
This off-seasons he told us that he spent a lot of time working on his shooting and upping his assist %.
That was apparent in the practice we went to last week. Here's our thoughts on him 👇

Darius Adams, who has been working on his shot all off-season, was DRIPPING 3s👇

The Defense struggled to tackle at the end of the game in Nashville.
True.
But a couple of NC State defenders balled out.

Anyone feel like putting money on NC State over Appalachian State with a 2-score spread after this past Saturday's calamity?

Only one NC State Offensive player who played 10+ snaps earned an overall PFF grade of 70+ against Vanderbilt on Saturday.
That would be Keenan Jackson.
Full Offensive PFF report.

Quite a few players started the game, and ended up seeing limited action.

Lubin was the puzzle piece that took this roster from good to great. Without him, there were holes. With him, we're a contender.
BREAKING: We're being told that Ven-Allen Lubin's injunction was granted. Meaning he is officially eligible next season.
MASSIVE news for NC State...especially after what we saw from him in practice.
