    Following Ben Middlebrooks transferring from Clemson to NC State NC State Head Coach Kevin Keatts had this to say!

    I'm excited to welcome Ben to our program,""Obviously he is a player that we are familiar with from his time at Clemson. I really like his versatility as a player. He's very strong, but he also moves really well for a big man. He can make plays on both ends of the court. He's shown that he has a high basketball IQ and I think he's going to be a valuable member of our front court rotation.   

    Off the court, he's a great young man from a wonderful family, and I think he'll be another great addition to our locker room."
