Will Wade Takes Helm of NC State Men’s Basketball Program

Will Wade, previously the head coach of McNeese State, has been appointed as the new head coach of the NC State Men's Basketball team. The announcement marks a significant shift for the program, which is eager to rebuild and compete at a higher level under Wade's leadership.

Wade's departure from McNeese was emotional, as he expressed a deep connection to his former team. However, the opportunity to lead NC State, a program with a storied history in college basketball, was too compelling to pass up. His introduction at NC State was met with enthusiasm from fans and players alike, who are hopeful about the future under his guidance.

During his tenure at McNeese, Wade was known for his ability to develop players and instill a winning culture. His success was highlighted by the story of Amir Khan, a student manager at McNeese, who played a crucial role in the team's operations during the March Madness tournament.

As Wade embarks on this new chapter, the focus will be on recruiting top talent and implementing a strategy that can elevate NC State in the competitive ACC conference.
