Ohh yeah, anyone want to post/send around the insider article for it??

2/5/2007 3:28:30 PM

talked to someone over the weekend who knows ellis very well and actually talked to him at the game saturday. he's signing with the pack on signing day, no doubt. he told amato thanks but no thanks, ncsu is where his heart is.

2/5/2007 4:04:09 PM

I just read where it said Zook has sent over 95kb worth of text messages to recruits since the period started in November.

there is no limit on text messaging in the NCAA, there should be

thats a hell of a lot of text.

2/5/2007 4:37:32 PM

I'm not going to post the article on Ellis, but he had some damn good things to say about State, and there's no way in hell he's going to FSU.

2/5/2007 6:07:11 PM

Yeah, I was able to read it.

Good thing we were able to keep all the recruits we had under Amato and still able to pick up some. Signing day 14 hrs 44 mins.

2/6/2007 5:16:35 PM

jon hannah -- ncsu or florida state. we will find out tomorrow.

he'll probably commit to VT.

2/6/2007 6:11:49 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. I mean this is NC State we're talking about.

he wasn't evaluated until last week. if you haven't been evaluated yet you get 1 star by default.

This dude sounds awesome after introducing himself like this and then emailing the rivals guy. I hope he hits it big here.

His dad's name is Wolfgang

Talk about a guy that could easily be a fan favorite if he has talent.

Enter the Kuhn!

this may or may not be the thread for this....but UNC is fucking killing it right now

they just got Dwight Jones, formerly a soft verbal, and Greg Little flip-flopped back to UNC after commiting to be a Golden Domer......if they get Marvin Austin (#1 DL/DE in the country) their class will get them all kinds of hype/press!

2/7/2007 11:22:10 AM

Quote :

"^he emailed the guy at scout and told him he would reconsider after he saw his tape"

He said that to James Henderson, who has absolutely no say whatsoever when it comes to ranking players and giving out stars.

2/7/2007 11:22:52 AM

Rumor is that 5* Marvin Austin has faxed his LOI to UNC.....not good, not good at all

I was hoping beyond hope that the heals would have a bust in recruiting this year, or at least a class not worthy of Butchie's 2million contract, but alas, they have sold their soul to the college football devil. rumor is that a couple of the last few commits couldn't clear academics at clemson/tenn. and they subsequently signed LOI's to UNC. if they become a football power, i am fine with that, they just need to come down off the "academic superiority in athletics" stance they have tried to portray for so many years. butch is going to recruit how he wants to, and i am sure part of his deal over there is he gets to try to push some marginal kids through the system.

fact is, those bastards had 5-6 4* recruits signed with one win while buntcakes was at the helm, i knew the baby blue darkside force would only get stronger when butch rolled in......just wished it was a little more of a struggle for them....i guess i am resigned to hoping they only win 3 games next year, and a bunch of those dudes end up at hargrave/juco and the rest try to transfer!

2/7/2007 11:32:09 AM

yea unc is putting a good class together. i just dont understand why you would want to play at unc for football. they dont even care they have a team most of the time. they dont have a good track record either since mack left them.

2/7/2007 11:38:57 AM

5* ATH and #1 prospect in NC Greg Little a long time Notre Dame commit will sign with UNC according to scout.com

2/7/2007 11:40:32 AM

^wtf is going on.

fuck unc

2/7/2007 11:43:34 AM

they only don't care b/c it's bad. if butch gets them rolling they'll get rid of all of their usc/michigan/ohio state football gear and swear they've been unc football fans forever.

on a completely different note, check out the poll on espn's front page. louisiana, alabama and mississippi are all about some recruiting.

Anyone know what happened to Jonathan Hannah? Packpride wont say if he is going to FSU or State unless your a premium.

2/8/2007 12:12:06 AM

hannah is taking the rest of the week to decide.

2/8/2007 12:14:31 AM

people are saying that 5 or more players from UNC wont qualify. Oh how I hope thats true.

2/8/2007 12:16:49 AM

hannah to FSU

2/8/2007 12:41:22 AM

This still is not that bad of a class with a coach getting the axe...

Of course if we had fired ours earlier like UNC our recruiting would have probably been a little stronger. Things will be fine with TOB.

2/8/2007 12:45:06 AM

^^not true......his parents didnt sign his papers, so they are just that.......pieces of paper with no meaning. Hes taking the rest of the week to think it over.

2/8/2007 12:46:10 AM

good

2/8/2007 8:44:38 AM

so how did we do? rankings etc? preciate it!

2/8/2007 11:52:25 PM

ranked #50 by rivals.com

2/9/2007 12:02:29 AM

I've gotta ask the question and this was the best place. We all know that keeping in-state recruits is vital and maybe more so in the coming years. That's why I ask, why doesn't someone from NC State camp-out in the freaking Independence football stadium and take that talent. I would have someone at every game and most practices making an appearance. If the kid is like, "I'm still considering...", I'd just say, that's cool, good game, I'll see you next week. Seriously, a football powerhouse in our back yard and we can't get any of them. I don't want to hear it's not possible, I don't care how good we are.

2/9/2007 4:33:04 PM

Maybe a contingency of us WolfWebbers that live in Charlotte could start going to Independence football games with State gear on and notepads to pretend like we're from NC State. We'll just sit in the stands writing stuff down. A parent is bound to see it, and say to themselves "hmm...maybe we should contact State and see if they're interested in our son."

2/9/2007 7:36:24 PM

If you go to the packpride "prospects" list it still has many recruits who are showing us interest that have not signed with any team. At first I was thinking grades, but for at least one of the guys at the top grades were definately not an issue. It seems like we would really push for some of this top tier talent.

2/14/2007 9:32:25 AM

I think UNC consulted Jim Black to help their recruiting...

2/14/2007 9:46:52 AM

^^^ corny as hell, but definitely something i would do

2/21/2007 12:28:05 AM

There have been two good PP articles on DT Kyle Linney. He says he plans to enroll early during the second summer session.

Quote :

"Linney indicated that he will be moving to Raleigh later this summer so he can enroll in the second summer session of classes at NC State. He visited the area frequently for games in 2006, and he is very fond of the location. "It's really nice over there in Raleigh," he said. "Anything is better than being around here. I'll be really ready to get there when July comes around." "

I don't really take that as a slight on Taylorsville, and more as him thinking it would be better for him if he was doing something productive during the summer, like getting a head start on his academics and used to the campus. A lot of kids don't stay as active during the summer as they should.

Not highly ranked yet but thats one hell of an offer list.

4/19/2007 11:43:52 AM

oh shit, i met him at the General Assembly a couple months ago when they were recognized in the senate. They all got a mike and told where they were going to commit to college and he was undecided. After session was over, I told him nobody was better than NC State!!

4/19/2007 11:46:00 AM

^^class of 2008 stars aren't done yet, i don't think. the offer list is a more telling sign, and that kid's offer list is monster.
