Quote of the day
This quote is from men’s basketball head coach Kevin Keatts discussing a few of the transfers the Wolfpack is welcoming to the program.
“He’s been a big leader,” Keatts said about Jarkel Joiner. “He’s had a big voice in the locker room and on the floor.
“I know DJ Burns is really good. One of the areas that we struggled in was to score the ball inside, and he certainly is a guy who can put the ball in the hole. Jack Clark at 6-8, 6-9 is kind of a three/four. He can really shoot the ball outside and do some stuff at that position.”
