he came into my job yesterday with his gf, and they bought an oil warmer

4/26/2006 3:33:38 AM

^you should have sat on his leg

4/26/2006 3:34:29 AM

He's big pimpin' now, buying an oil warmer and whatnot.

I still think he sucks.

But we needed him.

4/26/2006 3:37:35 AM

GET READY FOR THE BEN MCCAULEY EXPERIENCE

4/26/2006 3:38:49 AM

i forgot what fragrence of oil he bought though

but the oil warmer was the one that was about half pink

is Yahoo a legit source?

seriously though, I don't blame him. If any man's family needed the money, Ced's does. I hope he goes high up there and this doesn't prove to be a flop of a decision. And I hope he's sick-nasty in the paint...where he SHOULD be.

Yahoo is just reprinting the story. The actual source is Mike Decourcy of the Sporting News, which is legit. Decourcy was the first to report that State had made an offer to Steve Lavin (for whatever that's worth).

4/26/2006 8:42:45 AM

Not to be a downer but we have literally ZERO chance to make the tourney next year.. oh well.

[Edited on April 26, 2006 at 8:47 AM. Reason : and this has NOTHING to do w/ Herb so don't go there.]

4/26/2006 8:47:25 AM

yeah...it's all good though

I'll be graduated and kickin' it

4/26/2006 8:48:23 AM

^you'll still be watching b-ball and feeling the agony with the rest of us though

4/26/2006 9:22:59 AM

Best of luck.

4/26/2006 9:33:17 AM

There's nothing in that article about Simmons that's less than a week old

4/26/2006 9:44:44 AM

let's hope ben can step up next year in Ced's absence
i think ben had a better freshman year than Ced and didnt make as many stupid mistakes
and with Costner fully healthy i think'll we'll be fine without Ced
unfortunaly our bench will be totally depleted of big man unless brackman decides to play next year

4/26/2006 9:50:09 AM

thats what i am saying
WHY MAKE A NEW THREAD WHEN THE CED SIMMONS DECLARES FOR DRAFT THREAD IS PAGEEEEEES LONG

CREDE, YOU FUCKING KNOW BETTER

4/26/2006 10:09:10 AM

^^ you realize that Costner's game is mainly as a perimeter shooter who can get on the post when needed, right?

ben mccauley will be a starting ACC center and god save our souls

4/26/2006 10:44:22 AM

yup. I can see that next season is gonna require lots and lots of vodka for each game.

4/26/2006 10:49:51 AM

without looking at the stats, i would say that that is because ben played less than ced did during his frosh season

4/26/2006 11:12:05 AM

Ced = 10 minutes as freshman
Ben = 7 minutes as freshman

4/26/2006 11:15:33 AM

well look on the bright side, we should have a great draft pick next year!

oh wait

4/26/2006 11:49:17 AM

is the deadline for the nba draft tonight? if so, is cedric still in it??

by the way...ya'll shoulda locked all those threads a long time ago..beardawg

Ben had the benefit of having an actual starting center on the team, meaning he was only in for garbage minutes. Ced didn't.

Ben's game looked solid--when he posted up, he could always get to the basket. Only problem was he couldn't get the ball in once he was there, but that's something that can be fixed.

4/30/2006 9:31:52 PM

He still has at least a month to renig, and, I really think he is going to once it sets in that he is a risky first round selection. He wont be a first round lock.

The first round is primarily for proven scorers (which he isn't...yet), excellent passers (which he isn't) or enormous size (which he does not really have).

I hate hatin on an NC State player, but I feel that he needs a season to improve on his scoring before he gets drafted high.

4/30/2006 9:33:05 PM

He may get drafted really high because this draft is going to be so soft inside.

4/30/2006 9:34:03 PM

Yeah, and teams usually employ that "can't teach size" mentality when it comes to drafting big guys over guards


That's like the class of '89 (I think) when Tim Hardaway slipped to 14 - Pervis Ellison, George McCloud, Stacey King, JR Reid, Randy White, Tom Hammonds, and Michael Smith all went before him, and Hardaway had a better career than all of them


(Chucky Smith went in the 2nd rd this year)

4/30/2006 10:21:39 PM

who the fuck is Chucky Smith?

"The more important list to pay attention to over the next six weeks is the one that includes fence sitters who are trying to lock down first-round status and could hold their team's 2006-07 fate in their hands.

ced's definitely in i guess

5/1/2006 2:31:45 PM

That article was anything but "definate"

In fact, the article was ABOUT schools not knowing whether these kids were gone or not.

5/1/2006 2:37:40 PM

^^ played ball at NC State, looked it up an figured I'd throw that in


he more than likely had an insignificant nba career

5/1/2006 2:38:15 PM

Is chucky smith the homegrown guy that always plays in the Chavis leagues?

5/1/2006 2:54:25 PM

Holy shit.

I hope you mean Chucky Brown! He played in the NBA for about 10 years.

He attends half of our games and still lives in the area.

5/1/2006 3:15:07 PM

haha i figured you meant Chucky Brown.


He was on those Rockets championship teams

5/1/2006 3:55:44 PM

Anyone else notice that Ced was at the presser for Sid? Could this mean he is having second thoughts?

5/6/2006 10:22:11 PM

God I hope so.

PLEASE CED!

5/6/2006 11:29:02 PM

Why lock, is there official proof that he either staying or leaving?

5/6/2006 11:47:08 PM

there's a 7 page thread on this topic already

5/7/2006 12:00:04 AM

yeah I'd clicked Michael Smith's (BYU) draft profile on the site where I found the info as I typed in the thread


Chucky Brown it is


fuck me

5/7/2006 12:06:06 AM

^^^how bout because the title is misleading as FUCK?

5/7/2006 12:09:18 AM

i'm assuming there hasn't been any news on ced hiring an agent (pj tucker signed an agent which got me thinking about ced)

5/18/2006 4:52:31 PM

no and the deadline isnt until June 16th or 18th or something right around there
