TRACKING THE PACK JULY/AUGUST 2025 ■ 17 ■ Pulling Their Weight Sophomore guard Paul McNeil and his NC State men's basketball teammates have been preparing for the upcoming season by conducting their early-morn- ing strength and conditioning sessions at the Wolfpack's football facilities. When they're not running the steps at Carter-Finley Stadium, players are drag- ging heavy chains, carrying kettlebells and pushing blocking sleds around the Close King Indoor Practice Facility. McNeil is one of just two holdovers from last year's team. With eight trans- fers having recently signed on to be part of coach Will Wade's first NC State squad, the training sessions have given players an opportunity to build strength and camaraderie ahead of the eagerly awaited 2025-26 campaign. — Matt Herb PHOTO COURTESY NC STATE ATHLETICS PACK PICTURE
