Going into the offseason, it looked as though North Carolina State had it all figured out.

After a prosperous tournament run that saw the Wolfpack upset Villanova in the Round of 32, plenty of key players were returning.

Until they weren't.

There was the unexpected departure of all-conference guard Trevor Lacey for the NBA draft and the transfer of forward Kyle Washington to leave behind a roster of just eight scholarship players.

And the turnover wasn't exclusive to just players.

Assistant coach Rob Moxley is on medical leave after being hospitalized for several days in May.
