Among players who entered this year’s transfer portal, the 6-foot-3 Haggerty ranks No. 2 overall and No. 1 at his position, per 247Sports, following his electrifying redshirt sophomore campaign at Memphis.
Haggerty averaged 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.8 steals for the 2024-25 Tigers, shooting 47.6 percent from the field, 36.4 percent from three, and 81.8 percent at the charity stripe.
The Texas native, rumored to have a $4 million NIL price tag for next season, previously spent a year apiece at Tulsa and TCU.
As things stand, the NC State basketball coaches have landed six incoming transfers for Will Wade’s first season at the helm in Raleigh. But that Wolfpack collection does not include any of the portal’s top 100 talents.
