Complacency is not in the vocabulary of NC State basketball head coach Kevin Keatts.
There are enough returning players on hand to corroborate the stories that Kevin Keatts is telling his eighth NC State basketball squad about the program's miraculous 2023-24 conference champions and Final Four participants. And thanks to Keatts & Co.'s efforts on the recruiting trail and in the transfer portal, there should be sufficient talent for the Wolfpack to build on last season's success.
"When Michael came, when JT came, and Dennis came last year, and Ben came last year, the other guys were here...we talked about this. Now, they're champions. So, I'm talking about the same thing with all of you new guys here. Talking about it. We're gonna talk it into existence by how hard we work.
"But it's there for you. Like, this is an opportunity. We're coming off of two NCAA Tournaments. We're coming off ACC champions. We're coming off a Final Four appearance. "We want more. We want to duplicate — we want to go back, we want to win the ACC again — and we want to win the national championship. Like, we're not gonna shy away from what we want. But it's gonna take a lot of work. It's gonna take the new guys and the veteran guys who have been through it for everybody to get on the same page.
