^^ i dont have access and i think that is suspension worthy, but a good pick up for the pack.

there is recruit thread but i think this deserves its own

is the tenative roster for next year

3/2/2007 2:21:08 PM

that is a huge pick-up at this point in recruiting, and all i gotta say is that if sidney lowe and monte towe like a point guard, he must be pretty good

3/2/2007 2:23:30 PM

...or we just realized Atsur played his last home game, and we are desperate as hell.



thats not the case though.

GO PACK!

3/2/2007 2:24:37 PM

i think it says alot that he's been bumped up from a 2 start to a 3 star...shows he's improved this season i guess

Now that he signed with State he will be bumped back to a 1 star.

3/2/2007 2:33:09 PM

Awesome, Awesome news. Everyone kepy saying that we needed a true 1, and now we have it.

And 2 young backup PGs with a little experience also.

Kickass Sid.

3/2/2007 2:34:19 PM

I think Javi was averaging only 13.8 ppg, 4.3 ast, and 5.2 steals his junior year. He's improved a lot. He's been filling it up this year though. Scored 26 in a play-off game I think, and has been scoring high like that a fair amount this season. Hopefully that translates to a nice solid 10 ppg, 4 ast, and 3 steals while he's here. We don't need him to come in here and be our main scorer, though it'd be nice to have a PG that can score at will. We'll have plenty of guys that can score (McCauley, Costner, Grant, Fells, and probably Hickson and Smith). We mainly just need a pair of guards that can take care of the ball, get these guys the ball, and have a high assist to turnover ratio.

thanks

3/2/2007 2:37:45 PM

^^^pretty much. i think this season has stressed the importance of having capable ball handlers on your team. not just our team, but look at Virginia and their success which is mainly due to Reynolds and Singletary. hopefully Degand and Gonzalez can be the reliable ball handlers that we need.

go pack...

3/2/2007 2:38:53 PM

It would be nice if we see Gonzalez contribute in a way like Vasquez at Maryland

3/2/2007 2:40:21 PM

oops i fudged some of the numbers.

Quote :

"As a senior, Gonzalez led Krop to its first-ever GMAC title and is bidding to lead the team to state for the first time. As a junior, he made first-team all-county and led Krop to a 28-4 record and a district-title win over eventual state champion Norland. He scored 26 points in that game. For the season, he averaged 13.8 points, 4.4 assists and 3.6 steals and shot 52 percent from the field. As a sophomore, he played for St. Patrick's High in Elizabeth, N.J. An ultra-quick point guard, Gonzalez had a great summer for the Tropics in 2006. He has earned interest from numerous big-time colleges, including Tennessee and North Carolina State"

got that from the Miami Tropics website.

3/2/2007 2:41:51 PM

^^or Diaz at Miami

^52% FG% is solid as hell for a point guard

Oh HELL yes! If Sid can keep this up and get rid of our inconsistancy, we could have a serious upset of power in the ACC. The rise of the Wolfpack?

3/2/2007 2:43:41 PM

Sid is srs bsns

3/2/2007 2:46:01 PM

As long as it means Gaving wont be dancing up the court ready to turn it over very much next year - yessssssss

Let him drive, drunk, shoot, and rebound iwithout playing point. Then we will see him put up better numbers.

Does the PP article say anything about him not visiting his other schools of interest now?

Let's hope so. The long, harsh winter that packs of wolves face often times stymy their group morale and feasting. Many die as a result. They must do everything that they can to survive to the spring. They then often times flourish, killing off the old sheep and deer that live in the area. Powerful packs of wolves defend their territory from other rising packs (Nevada) proving that they are the most powerful pack of wolves in all the land. Spring is upon us, and the long, harsh winter will soon be over.

3/2/2007 2:53:42 PM

hallelujah. i'm really excited about this guy.

and about the entire class. hopefully tracy smith makes it. even if he doesn't, we're gonna be solid. hopefully we can say goodbye to those 20+ turnovers a game now with these ball handlers.

what a class sid!

its still only a verbal, but he seems to really like it here......Is it me, or did this guy pretty much fall into their laps?

so much to look forward too, but the 06/07 season isn't over yet.......

3/2/2007 3:00:09 PM

^ ya rly. he came out of nowhere. good to see things start falling into place for once. hopefully that trend continues.

3/2/2007 3:02:08 PM

I think I've been watching too much of the National Geographic Channel.

3/2/2007 3:02:41 PM

If everyone comes that is suppose to, then someone will have to drop a scholly or leave. Makes me wonder who's gonna do what.

That applies to the coming season.

It still leaves us one scholarship short for the following year, assuming Grant is the only one to leave.

My guess is Bartosz transfers/gives up his scholarship, unless someone else leaves early.

3/2/2007 5:06:18 PM

with the ru paul comparisons earlier, ya i definitely see it in that pic^^^
just needs to stop pluckin those eye brows and hed be aite.

3/2/2007 5:13:47 PM

Good pickup.

Its like QB in football, now we have 3 prospects competing for the PG job next year: Degand, Johnson, and Javi now. Hopefully they can all contribute.

3/2/2007 5:16:15 PM

javy is a pass-first pg that will be able to get the ball to our key players. i read that he played on a team with OJ mayo and OJ played the 2 and let javy run point.

3/2/2007 6:52:06 PM

its going to be so nice having players in their natural position

"These schools are cleared for use in the NCAA initial eligibility process only for prospects entering college in Fall 2006, and they are subject to future review. These schools cooperated in the review process but the NCAA still has questions: * Alif Muhammad (Newark, New Jersey) * Central Christian Academy (Winter Park, Florida) * Florida Prep School (Port Charlotte, Florida) * Genesis One (Mendenhall, Mississippi) * Laurinburg Institute (Laurinburg, North Carolina) * Lutheran Christian Academy (Philadelphia) * Mt. Zion Academy (Durham, North Carolina) * North Texas Academy (Plano, Texas) * Pearblossom Private School (Pearblossom, California) * Prince Avenue Preparatory Academy (Pickens, South Carolina) * Puerto Rico Baseball Academy (Caguas, Puerto Rico) "

What does this mean? Tracy Smith should still be fine, it's just his qualifications aren't just based on GPA and SAT like most recruits, as Mt. Zion is subject to further review.
