^you never know, but i would say that is 1:9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 based on what i have heard

10/9/2006 11:47:36 PM

so does this automatically mean that hickson will not commit? I mean im sure that jj didnt base his decision entirely on what Wright would do.

10/9/2006 11:54:45 PM

don't hold your breath for hickson

10/9/2006 11:55:21 PM

whoa....who the fuck has a link to wright not picking us...he hasnt announced yet, he announces tuesday

10/10/2006 12:53:39 AM

i've had a feeling all along neither would pick us. i just wish we had simmons

Has anyone heard news about Degand or Harris? Supposedly they're appealing the NCAA to be able to play this year. Seems like the chance would be slim, but it's possible.

10/10/2006 6:09:01 PM

im covering my eyes against Hansbrough this year

you know what is going to hurt the most... having that deutche slam it on a 7 footer

10/11/2006 1:39:49 AM

cant slam the ball if you are getting stabbed by our player's elbows

i saw ced had #9 on sportcenters top 10, for a block

10/11/2006 7:09:08 AM

Forfeit all games this year and redshirt everyone.

10/11/2006 1:49:28 PM

The dude is going to be about four inches taller than anyone he lines up with. I think if he is quick and has some good hands, he will become usefull.

10/11/2006 2:00:57 PM

those are GIGANTIC ifs

10/11/2006 2:01:26 PM

No 7' 3" dudes are quick

10/11/2006 3:05:22 PM

We saw how great Neil Fingleton and Adam Simons turned out.

10/11/2006 3:33:32 PM

we have a bunch of 4 star recruits on radar don't we?

10/11/2006 3:34:55 PM

Not trying to instigate anything, this is just an observation. Sidney Lowe has failed at everything he has tried to do since he got to N.C. State.

Couldn't get Simmons to come back
Failed to keep Davis
Failed to keep Werner
Failed to lure McMillan
Failed to get Wright
Failed to bring Brackman back

Anything else I have missed? I was so optimistic when he came, but I am beginning to think the basketball program has been set back 10 years.

A few. We seem to be the favorite for Smith (assuming he becomes eligible), and some others are possibilities. They're all forwards, though.

Interesting that that guard just popped up on the list today. Just goes to show that those lists aren't a comprehensive set of the guys we've talked to.

he didn't have a fair shot at davis, werner
it didn't seem like he was overly interested in McMillan (and Herb had a huge head start)
Simmons might have left anyways
Brackman wouldn't have played anyways

Walt Sobchak, are you a moron? are you really this dumb?
1. Coach Lowe had no chance to keep Ced / herb couldnt have made Ced come back
2. Davis and Werner were comming here to play for Herb not NCSU
they wanted to play Herb Ball
3. McMillan wanted to stay close to HIS home and HIS dad / Herb recruited him hard but Herb leaving was the nail in the casket
4.Failed to get Wright / you gotta be kidding me ... Wright is another player that wanted to run Herb Ball. Coach did a great job at getting NCSU back in the race.
5. Brackman wouldnt have came back if Herb was here / lets see....Andrew has said over and over and over that playing baseball in the pros has been his biggest dream since he was a kid
he has always liked baseball over basketball ... not too hard understan Walt, unless you are a slow kid that rode the short bus

Simmons was definately gone regardless of the coach.. im pretty sure he didnt like playing behind the 3-point line.. and ^^you're right he never had a fair shot at Werner or Davis.. Brackman would have been stupid if he didn't concentrate on baseball

Wow... This is your first time experiencing coaching change, isn't it?

It'll be okay... don't jump just yet

10/11/2006 5:02:32 PM

let's all just settle for mediocrity, good idea.

10/11/2006 5:34:12 PM

jesus dude. way to jump ship before the season has even started. much less before you give lowe a couple years to get his own players worked into the lineup.

10/11/2006 5:36:14 PM

yeah, remember how long it took Valvano to get his own players in the lineup and be successful.

10/11/2006 5:38:04 PM

Walt that was stupid... Lowe couldn't do anything about any of that.

10/11/2006 5:40:34 PM

Johnny Thomas is a very good player and definetely who wanted at his position...don't forget how quick Coach Lowe came in and got Thomas to commit. Things also are not looking bad for Hickson

10/11/2006 5:45:19 PM

Has the program been set back? yeah
Is it Lowe's fault? NO!
...it's called a coaching change.

[Edited on October 11, 2006 at 5:51 PM. Reason : ...]

10/11/2006 5:51:14 PM

he got both Wright and Hickson, two of the top players in the country that pretty much any program would want, to visit us. he got Horner to stay, and from the interviews released yesterday he and the rest of the players are loving the coaching staff and especially Coach Lowe. Johnny Thomas one of, if not the top player in the state has already committed to us. he realized that he would be short personnel, and was able to get a speedy pg in Degand, who was looking at a lot of other quality programs, to transfer, and had Towe convince Bartosz to come along with him to State. Lewandowski may not be a great player, but he provides a body for practice and will see some playing time behind McCauley. Lowe put together a dynamite staff, and was able to do all of this while getting a late start on recruiting. the fact that we even got Wright and Hickson to put us in their top 2 was simply amazing. Lowe also has already started getting the attention of one of the best players in the state for next years class in CJ Williams. Lowe is doing a great job early on in his career here with what seems like a lot going against him.

10/11/2006 5:53:45 PM

Lendowski needs to start snorting some roids. That kid would be a beast with 75 pounds on him.

Brass Monkey is chugging the Kool Aide.

I mean we're not going to be anything short of God Damn awful this year. I'll judge Lowe based on how the team improves as the season progresses.

10/11/2006 6:41:11 PM

i may be drinking the kool aid, but i am realistic in saying that we probably won't be very good this year. that won't stop me from being at the games, rooting on the Pack, and being excited for the upcoming basketball season. saying the Lowe has failed here is anything but true. most of the things that Lowe has gone through are common during a coaching change unless one gets a Roy Williams caliber coach.

10/11/2006 7:18:32 PM

since chris wright has been out of the picture, this kid christopher warren has upgraded us to HIGH. He's no. 19 ranked pg in the country according to scout.com...i think he'd be a nice pick-up after alot of pg's in the country thought we were off the market for pg's...
