One of the nation's top transfers will follow his coach to Power-5 school

That's a huge move.

C.J. Bryce was one of the best players in the nation for UNC-Wilmington this past season averaging 17.4 points and three assists a game. He led the Seahawks to a 29-win season and an NCAA Tournament berth under coach Kevin Keatts who is now the coach at N.C. State. Bryce decided he wanted out of Wilmington when Keatts left and he's going to join him at the coach at his next stop:

He shot 48.4 percent from the floor and 33.1 percent from beyond the three-point line last season. He scored 20 or more points 11 times last season and should give Keatts a good head start in his coaching tenure when he becomes eligible for the 2018-19 season. He will have to sit out this season per NCAA transfer rules and will have two years of eligibility remaining.
