NC State has a new Point Guard heading into the 2022-23 College Basketball season…Graduate Transfer Jarkel Joiner.
Joiner finds himself as a starting Point Guard in the ACC, but that was not always in the cards.
As a High School player at Oxford High School in Oxford, Mississippi, Joiner was an unranked and unrated prospect in the major recruiting databases, with no stars or numbers attached to his name.
What is strange about this was the fact that Joiner averaged 36.5 points per game as a Senior at Oxford, ranking 4th in the nation, and was named the Mississippi Player of the Year by The Daily Journal.
