NC State had been pursuing seven-footer Isaiah Miranda prior to Dusan Mahorcic’s injury, so the timing of his commitment to the Wolfpack today is coincidental—and all the more welcome.
Miranda is in a unique situation that allows him to reclassify and join NC State later this month, which puts him on the floor for Kevin Keatts just as ACC play ramps up. He’s also eligible for the 2023 NBA Draft.
He obviously has enormous potential, which for NC State hopefully means that he is able to learn fast and acclimate quickly to high-major college basketball.
