NC State currently has fourteen scholarships filled for the 2018-2019 season at the conclusion of the Fall Signing Period. Here is a closer look at the Wolfpack's projected roster and depth chart.
 

2018-2019 Projected NC State Scholarship Roster

Here is an updated roster of the scholarship players following the Fall Signing Period.

Torin Dorn G R-Sr. Vance (Charlotte, N.C.) 6-5/208
Dorn led Charlotte in scoring as a true freshman and transferred to NC State after the 2014 season. He played a reserve role last year but should be an ideal fit in NC State's four-out, one-in offense.
Shaun Kirk G/F Sr. Whiteville (Whiteville, N.C.) 6-8/195
Kirk is a high-flying athlete who is still developing his basketball skills but has a high upside. He can hit open 3-pointers and finish at the rim, but is still developing his ball-handling and mid-range game. Kirk should provide much-needed depth this season.
C.J. Bryce G R-Jr. UNC Wilmington (Charlotte, N.C.) 6-5/190
A terrific perimeter player, Bryce was a huge pickup for the Wolfpack as the first-team All-CAA performer projects to be a major contributor in Kevin Keatts' system.  He must sit out the 2017-2018 season due to NCAA rules.
Darius Hicks F Jr. 22 Feet Academy (Quitman, MS) 6-7/231
Capable of playing both forward positions, Hicks adds athleticism and versatility to the roster. Look for him to provide valuable depth as a sophomore.
Omer Yurtseven C Jr. Fenerbahçe (Istanbul, Turkey) 7-0/250
Yurtseven could be a major weapon in NC State's four-out, one-in offensive system. Will this be his last year in Raleigh?
Markell Johnson G Jr. East Tech HS (Cleveland, OH) 6-1/164
A dynamic athlete, Johnson can play both guard positions for the Wolfpack and should open the season as the starting point guard.  He has a chance to have a breakout year.
Devon Daniels G R-So. Utah (Battle Creek, MI) 6-5/200
An efficient player who produced as a true freshman for Utah, Daniels projects to be an impact player for the Wolfpack.  He must sit out the 2017-2018 season due to NCAA rules.
Derek "DJ" Funderburk F R-So. NW Florida State (Cleveland, OH) 6-10/225
An impact JUCO transfer, Funderburk is versatile enough to impact at three positions.
Lavar Batts Jr. G Soph. Robinson (Concord, N.C.) 6-2/185
Batts was the first commitment of the Kevin Keatts era.  A former VCU signee, he should play major minutes as a true freshman and is capable of playing on or off the basketball. 
Braxton Beverly G Soph Hargrave (Hazard, KY) 6-0/180
A former Ohio State signee, Beverly joined his former prep school coach, A.W. Hamilton, in Raleigh.  He was cleared and is eligible to play this season.
Immanuel Bates C Fr. Northwood Temple (Fayetteville, N.C.) 6-11/215
Bates is NC State's first commitment in the 2018 recruiting class.  An elite-level shotblocker, his offensive game is still raw, but he will likely need to play right away for the Wolfpack. 
Ian Steere PF/C Fr. Northwood Temple (Fayetteville, N.C.) 6-9/260
Steere has the size and athleticism to impact right away at NC State. His overall skillset is a terrific fit in the Wolfpack's offensive system, and he should flourish as a rim-runner on offense and rim protector on defense.
Jericole Hellems F Fr. Chaminade (St. Louis, MO) 6-7/210
Hellems will fill the small-ball, four-man role NC State has been looking for in the 2018 recruiting class. His versatility and toughness should enable him to see the floor as a true freshman.
Saddiq Bey G/F Fr. Sidwell Friends (Washington, D.C.) 6-6/200
Bey is capable of playing multiple positions as a true freshman for the Wolfpack.
