NC State’s coaching staff has worked under the radar to keep filling out the rest of its inaugural roster in Raleigh. The Wolfpack’s most-recent addition, Slovenian forward Robert Jurković, was the latest example of that.  Jurković hadn’t been tied to the Pack publicly before news of his commitment broke Monday morning. The 23-year-old fills a critical need in the team’s frontcourt, providing depth to the set of bigs with a chance to possibly earn a starting nod as he makes the transition to college basketball.  Let’s take a look at what his commitment means for NC State and what the program has left to do before heading into the 2026-27 campaign.
