So, it's no surprise Breed, who spent last season under Wade's command at McNeese State after playing three years at Providence but suffered a campaign-ending injury following only two outings with the 2024-25 Cowboys, is the first formally introduced NC State basketball transfer addition in the cycle.

On Monday, the Wolfpack released a confirmation of Breed's entry in the NC State family.
"I'm excited to have Alyn join us at NC State," Wade noted. "Obviously, he is a player I'm very familiar with. He has the ability to be a really good two-way player for us.
"He started his career at Providence more of a defensive-minded player, but to his credit, he put in work on his offensive game and has become a threat on that end of the court. He can shoot it well and score on all three levels while also being a capable ballhandler for us."
