McNeil Returns to NC State, LSU Misses Out

On May 2nd, Paul McNeill just made his call in the transfer portal saga.

The guards heading back to NC State, his home turf, turning down a hard push from LSU.

After putting his name in the portal, he chose to rejoin the Wolfpack instead of bolting

to Baton Rouge.

LSU have been ramping up their recruitment for weeks, but the vibes pointed toward Raleigh

all along.

Folks in the know felt the return was brewing as the deadline loomed.

NC State fans are buzzing with excitement, locking in a key piece for their back court.

It stabilizes the roster there, while LSU feels the sting of a missed opportunity to add

depth.

With this door shut, the Tigers now scout elsewhere for guard talent to round out their line-up.

The portal is still active, so expect more move soon.

Transfer season never sleeps.

NC State's got their guy, and LSU's hunt continues.

Stay tuned for the next flip.
