It wasn’t all that long ago that Omer Yurtseven was struggling to stay on the floor for the Wolfpack. He was foul prone, he was being pushed around and he just wasn’t really putting up the type of rebounding numbers NC State fans had hoped for.
Over the first 4 games of the season, Yurtseven had grabbed only 16 rebounds (4 per game). Certainly not the type of number you want to see from you 7-foot center. But something clicked for him during the trip to the Bahamas.
Since that trip began, Yurtseven has been a different player.
