Yesterday reports came out that sophomore center Omer Yurtseven was meeting with head coach Kevin Keatts to discuss his options for the future. Today, it seems that meeting has resulted in Keatts granting Yurtseven a release from NC State.
In a release, Keatts said, “Omer and I had an opportunity to visit and he expressed his intentions to either pursue a professional career or consider transferring from NC State. We will certainly grant his release. Omer made incredible strides this year, increasing his scoring in ACC play from 4.9 points per game to 14.9, improving his rebounding and hitting 46 percent from three-point range while developing into an All-ACC player.
