NC State showing interest in former St. John's big man Chris Obekpa

In the latest installment of As The Transfer Market Turns, we have the case of ex-St. John's center Chris Obekpa, who announced late last month his intent to transfer. Obepka has one year of eligibility remaining and is not a graduate, so he'll sit out the 2015-16 season, wherever he lands. NC State is reportedly one of his options, per Adam Zagoria, along with Arizona State, Minnesota, and Alabama.

The 6-10 center averaged 5.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks per game last season. He is a raw offensive player, with a career 2FG% of 44.
