The Paul Mbiya saga has come to an end where he won't be coming to NC State. He had signed with NC State, but he also didn't get much for NIL, and the Wolfpack ended up using the resources on Darrion Williams and Ven-Allen Lubin, who are probably a combined $4.8 million of the $11 million budget. Mbiya's mentor is the same as Mohamed Diarra's, but his agent might be the same as Williams.
If he comes over to the U.S., it will be interesting to see if he ever becomes more than a shot-blocker and dunker, but he's something else at those two things with a 7-8 wingspan. NC State doesn't have someone with those defensive traits at center.
