It appears North Carolina will gain some auras next season.
McNeece student manager Amir Khan has been hit with the virus, but it is reportedly expected Will Wade to follow North Carolina for the upcoming NCAA season.
Khan will become a graduate assistant at Wolfpack and will take on other responsibilities that have not yet been decided, According to CBS Sports.
The move comes just three days after Wade reached an agreement with NC State to take over as his latest head coach for next season.
Wade revealed that his McNeece state player was on the loop about his decision.
“I put it all on the players and my players left it all on me,” Wade told reporters. “We're transparent. We've shared it all with each other.”
Following an upset victory over Clemson in the first round of madness in March, McNess State's dream was eventually shortened after losing 76-62 to Purdue on Saturday.
Wade previously praised Khan's success in hyping some of his team's success and hyped up players in each game.
“It excites our peers, it starts our peers fast. If you don't get the start, it's hard to play well,” Wade said.
Kern quickly gained fame after McNeese State athletic director recorded that he had a boombox while leading the basketball team before the game in February.
In the next few weeks, Khan (known as “Aura” by members of the McNeese State Basketball Team) emerged as a social media sense at the start of the NCAA tournament.
Due to his fame, Khan became the first student manager to have a deal for his own name, image, and likeness (nil), and signed a contract with Buffalo Wild Wings, Insomnia Cookies and Tickpick before the NCAA Tournament.
Khan's latest NIL deal comes with Topps Trading Cards, and it has been announced that it will also be featured on limited edition cards.
“That means a lot. I never expected attention as a manager, so receiving all the love and support I've received over the last few weeks really means a lot to me,” Khan said in an interview with Fox Sports. “But I'm trying to do what I'm doing for the team and I'm really focused on helping them do what they can on the court.”
