RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Maverick Rowan arrived just in time to help short-handed North Carolina State.
The freshman wing was a late addition to the Wolfpack's recruiting class, a player who reclassified to graduate from high school over the summer instead of waiting until 2016. He joins a team that needed him badly, both from a numbers standpoint and the fact that his skillset appears to fit perfectly on a team with some significant losses from last year's NCAA Sweet 16 team.
''It was definitely a big factor,'' Rowan said Thursday during the team's preseason media day.
