NC State Women's Basketball Losing Key Player, Seeking Replacement

NC State Womens Basketball Losing Key Guard: Coach Moore Faces Roster Rebuild

NC State womens basketball is set to lose a significant contributor from its backcourt as sophomore point guard Zamareya Jones announces her departure for the transfer portal. Jones, who handled primary ball-handling duties alongside junior Zoe Brooks, accounted for a substantial portion of the teams scoring. The teams average of 77.2 points per game in the 2025-2026 season may be at risk as coach Wes Moore searches for replacements in the portal.

While Jones departure may open opportunities for a taller, tougher lineup, the teams backcourt duo was dynamic. The loss of Jones, Brooks, and junior forward Khamil Pierre, who combined for over sixty percent of the teams scoring, leaves Moore with a challenging offseason ahead.

Incoming four-star wing Kamora Pruitt, a six-foot-two shooter, brings size and three-point range to the team. However, retaining Brooks and Pierre, as well as sophomore Tilda Trygger, is crucial for frontcourt strength. With two players already gone, Moore faces a busy offseason, and the Wolfpacks roster rebuild will shape their ACC run next year.
