NC State will currently have thirteen scholarships filled for the 2012-2013 season following the commitment of four-star shooting guard Torian Graham.
Graham is NC State's fourth commitment in the 2012 recruiting class, as he joins four-star point guard Tyler Lewis and five-star standouts T.J. Warren and Rodney Purvis. The commitment leaves the Wolfpack with no scholarships remaining to use on the 2012 class, but obviously attrition could occur.
The Wolfpack is projected to lose just two scholarship players from the 2011-12 team, wing C.J. Williams and guard Alex Johnson.
With four seniors on the 2012-2013 squad, NC State will have another four scholarships available for the 2013 recruiting class.

Brewster Academy (Durham, N.C.) |

Arlington Country Day (Durham, N.C.) |
