@thebody, yea what @tower said. last year if they said a north carolina recruit had us among his favorites 1) it was rare, and 2) it was almost a lie/stretch of truth to have some positive something about recruiting. We went months with 2 recruits in the fold.

2/9/2011 9:21:42 AM

^ thanks. just curious if you saw anything on rivals or scouts i could check out.

ready for the 2011 season already...

#1 recruit Jadeveon Clowney commits to South Carolina

2/14/2011 12:38:28 PM

^ Spurrier broke out the big money to beat Bama for this kid.

2/14/2011 1:50:35 PM

doesn't this give them something like 45 recruits for this class... this may affect the layouts of the South Carolina budget with this class.

2/14/2011 2:20:45 PM

a friend of mine in the SC athletics department says their recruiting coordinator is leaving the program today...worried about the backlash

edit: was just going along with the conversation, didnt realize this was the State recruiting thread

^^32 I think. People at work were bustin a nut and talking about USC winning the national championship next year- I would say that's a big stretch but who the hell knows

2/15/2011 12:41:15 AM

^ USC should be very good next year with their great WR core and Lattimore to go along with a strong defense. The SEC East will be a toss up again, but Spurrier has seemingly finally turned the corner at South Carolina. The BCS champion will probably still come out of the SEC West again.

2/15/2011 9:15:03 AM

Sounds like USC probably won't have Clowney next year after all. Looks like he should have spent less time dragging out his recruitment and more time in the classroom. Most, including his coaches, believe he will not qualify.

2/16/2011 7:57:41 AM

if that's true i wish UNCCHeat would have gotten him

Dominic Scavo, QB

I'm friends with one this kid's coaches and he said he's in the triangle visiting NCSU and Duke and that once UNCCHeat found out, they invited him too... He's been invited to Elite 11

2/17/2011 2:19:38 PM

any news?

4/12/2011 12:27:41 PM

we lost out on 4* DT J.J. Patterson to UNC

John Blake is still managing to land highly-touted recruits despite not being employed by UNC

4/12/2011 12:39:21 PM

few recruiting sites i saw said Patterson grew up a UNC fan so its not really a surprise.

4/12/2011 1:22:46 PM

Whatever. We'll get Hooker anyways, which is fine by me. I mean the dude's name is K'Hadree! How badass is it to have an apostrophe in one's name?

James Summers sounds like the name of a fictional character based on Philip Rivers in some beach-read novel.

4/14/2011 10:58:22 AM

^^ good news! Rivals is also confirming officially

I wonder if they plan on using him in another capacity. 6'2"/196 isn't the typical Ryan/Glennon QB that Bible likes. I guess the same can be said for Taylor, who's only 6'3".

4/14/2011 11:21:19 AM

He also had an offer from Clemson supposedly.

I guess IC'ers arent going to be able to poo-poo his lack of stars since UNCCheat had offered as well.

Welcome to NCSU James

4/14/2011 11:28:09 AM

i'll take him...i love program players

4/14/2011 11:43:04 AM

I've heard he's supposed to be the top dual-threat quarterback in NC fwiw.

Wow, Bible/TOB took a QB before camp. That's a good sign.

4/14/2011 2:44:22 PM

Everett Proctor 2.0?

4/14/2011 3:09:37 PM

I read that he was recruited as an ATH, but QB wasn't out of the picture, so who knows what he'll end up doing here.

4/14/2011 3:27:36 PM

That makes more sense. Not a Bible prototype QB.

4/14/2011 3:56:51 PM

4/14/2011 4:03:18 PM

the kid has moves, no doubt

4/14/2011 4:27:02 PM

Lol at the insidecarolina watermark. His throwing will need some work if they keep him at QB, lot of those passes were in position to be intercepted

4/14/2011 4:43:23 PM

i'm impressed by his agility...he has great speed, but when guys get close and throw an arm at his legs/feet he just does that high step and keeps on moving

athletically gifted for sure, he'll be a great asset at any position

[Edited on April 14, 2011 at 4:50 PM. Reason : vn]

4/14/2011 4:49:48 PM

really impressed. throwing was pretty decent, he made some tough throws.

call me crazy, but he looks like he'd be a good RB as well, not that we really need any but he's really tough to get down.

Maybe we're gonna install a "wildwolf" pkg.

4/14/2011 5:09:48 PM

He'll make a hell of a free safety

I thought I read somewhere that he camped here last summer. Maybe I'm just getting him confused with someone else though.

4/14/2011 5:12:42 PM

That video reminds me of our defense two years ago.

No pressure, no tackling.

College football teams aren't like that.

4/14/2011 7:04:08 PM

He plays for Page, which isn't terrible, but the competition isn't Texas 5A level for sure

Josh Stanley, QB, Leesville Road High, will be not going the preferred walkon at Elon route and will be doing the preferred walkon NCSU route

In other words, not a QB. Still a good get, though.

4/15/2011 11:10:02 AM

...and another local qb walking-on.
6'5, 220 Middle Creek Garrett Leatham (isn't that 3 qbs?)

One of two things here:

Either he's trying to hold in a shit or someone just told him his mom died.

4/25/2011 10:40:37 PM

He could put on a bunch of weight and play tight end if he has good hands.

Quote :

"Middle Creek quarterback Garrett Leatham will play college football at the next level. According to Sean Crocker, the head football coach at Middle Creek High School, Leatham has accepted an invitation to walk-on at NC State. Crocker confirmed Leatham's intentions through a text message to HighSchoolOT.com on Monday evening. Leatham could not be immediately reached. This past season, Leatham helped lead the Mustangs to a 9-3 overall record, including a 6-2 mark in the Tri-Nine 4-A Conference. During his senior campaign, Leatham recorded nearly 3,400 passing yards in 12 games. Leatham stands at 6-foot-5 and 220-pounds. Crocker said he is not sure if Leatham will redshirt his freshman year at NC State, but said Leatham is planning to report to camp this fall. Harnett Central quarterback Brian Taylor has already signed with NC State."
