This is what loyalty looks like. Both Paul McNeil and CJ Bailey could have left after two years and likely taken more money to transfer. Instead, they return to NC State for their junior seasons as the centerpiece for both teams. ✍️: 247sports.com/college/north-…

Justin Gainey: “We’re going to defend, we’re going to rebound, and we’re going to take care of the basketball. It’s that simple. And when you watch us play on TV, I want you to be able to say that’s the hardest playing team in the country. That’s what we’re hanging our hat on.”

Someone who takes pride in the name on the front of the jersey ‼️

Justin Gainey: “This is a special place with a proud tradition, and I don’t take any of this lightly... I know what comes with it. I was born here in North Carolina, played here at NC State. I understand what being on Tobacco Road is all about. I understand it.”

No April Fools here… just our Head Coach 👏

You never know what tomorrow may bring… 👀
