Pawtucket, R.I. native is a consensus four-star recruit in Class of 2023
RALEIGH – NC State men's basketball head coach Kevin Keatts announced Thursday that the Pack has added Isaiah Miranda to the team's 2022-23 roster.
Miranda will begin practicing with NC State today.
Keatts on Miranda: "It's rare that you get the opportunity to add a player of Isaiah's ability to your roster in the middle of the season. We're excited to have him on our team. He's a young man that is oozing with potential. Just seeing him around our team the last few days, you can see how tall and how much length he has. He's a big man that can really run. He can fly down the court, rim run and really pressure the defense with his offensive skill when you combine it with his height and wing span. Defensively, he has all the makings of a player that can be a real asset to us. He's going to be able to switch one through five and I think he has the potential to become one of the ACC's best shot blockers.
"I respect Isaiah for making the decision to join us. This won't be easy for him and he recognizes that. Most true freshman join a program in June or at the latest in August and have months of skill work and practices with their teammates to develop chemistry. Isaiah won't have any of that, but I've loved the attitude he has come in with. He's all about learning and helping his team, and I've been proud of his teammates for how they've welcomed him to our program. Everybody is excited to have Isaiah here and get him going so he can help the team."
