NC State coach Kevin Keatts on Clemson center transfer Ben Middlebrooks:
"I'm excited to welcome Ben to our program," Keatts said. "Obviously he is a player that we are familiar with from his time at Clemson. I really like his versatility as a player. He's very strong, but he also moves really well for a big man. He can make plays on both ends of the court. He's shown that he has a high basketball IQ and I think he's going to be a valuable member of our front court rotation.
