When Torin Dorn committed to transfer to NC State, there was a lot of optimism going around.
Gottfried had picked up UNC-Charlotte’s leading scorer and Conference USA’s Freshman of the Year. Dorn was going to team up with Dennis Smith Jr. and create a high-energy, athletic duo that would set the ACC aflame.
That never happened.
Through the first eight games of the season, Dorn averaged almost 18 points and 7 rebounds per game. He was dominant. He was scoring from all 3 levels. He was exactly as billed. A quality scorer who could rebound and defend.
