Fact is TOB got Glennon for 2 years and he was fired after them. Seems pretty straightforward to me how much of a success that was for him.

Gott may end up with the same fate but the reason won't be because he lost Purvis. It'll be because his defenses are worse than Archer's.

guys, the RP/RW comparison was said in jest, dont go down this path again

4/2/2013 2:49:45 PM

gottfried told purvis to not come back expecting to be a starter because chase cannon was going to transfer if purvis came back, so essentially gottfried had to choose between 1-2 more years of purvis and 3 years of cannon.

i can't blame him for his decision.

a very nice article on the 1974 championship team:

is this really happening?

I've never heard of this happening for a recruit to transfer and then transfer back.

I haven't heard that we are actually looking at bringing him back but interesting development for sure.

4/2/2013 5:51:28 PM

Bitches I told you so.

4/2/2013 5:53:56 PM

6'8" grad student...BRING HIM IN

we need some athletic big bodies.

4/2/2013 6:01:26 PM

He'll probably transfer to Davidson along with Tyler Lewis, after TJ Warren makes his draft announcement

4/2/2013 6:02:05 PM

I always liked that kid. Not the most talented at the time, but he ALWAYS hustled his ass off and picked up garbage points and rebounds. I'd love to get him back.

4/2/2013 6:02:11 PM

We are done clearing cap space and stockpiling draft picks. Time to rebuild.

HE = BALLER

Yep, he actually exceeded all expectations his freshman year.

This would be awesome. Are there no rules about transferring back to a team?

4/2/2013 6:32:49 PM

Nope, the sitting a year rules are there to stop kids from jumping around but they are welcome to go wherever.

And +1 for the grad school loophole so he can play immediately.

4/2/2013 6:45:39 PM

Does his grad program have to be offered at State but not Tulane, or does that only apply to football?

Joshua Davis, M.S. Poultry Science

4/2/2013 7:01:45 PM

there's mention on Devils Digest about Herb pursuing Josh Davis

don't know what to make of it though

4/2/2013 7:09:28 PM

Josh Davis might transfer back?

Y'all postin' in a Jim Rutherford thread.

4/2/2013 7:21:36 PM

if gott allowed his relationship w/ Purv to sour, it may have cost him Randle as well

4/2/2013 8:03:53 PM

New coach and no fighting with Leslie for playing time so id say let's do this. Raleigh kid with family here still would be fine with him finishing his last year back here.

4/2/2013 8:07:03 PM

he was always a fan favorite.

one of the few transfers that everyone still liked/likes

^^^so it made sense that Purvis could have helped the Randle recruitment but not that he could hurt it?

Former 5 star recruit Socrates Jackson to transfer to NC Stat, per Insider.

4/3/2013 9:47:42 AM

We still got a basketball team? Lewis transfer to Coastal Carolina yet? Gottfried take an assistant coaching position at The University of Canada-Calgary? Vandy go back to the Austrian Technical College? Javoni declare for the draft? Lutz switched to coaching tennis?

4/3/2013 11:36:44 AM

We're gonna get some good news real soon! (pure speculation)

4/3/2013 11:38:46 AM

damn. if davis comes back, that could be a big shot in the arm for us.

4/3/2013 11:56:13 AM

Lewis and Warren back! Lets add Josh Davis and the juco guard and we could have a real solid squad next year.

The sky isn't falling???

Kill me all you want. I don't care if Lewis transfers.

Well I care a little...very little.

[Edited on April 3, 2013 at 9:02 PM. Reason : add another note]

4/3/2013 9:01:38 PM

He could've simply deleted it bc he praised Lutz over Gott. I doubt it means anything but let's SPECULATE!

4/3/2013 9:03:25 PM

Lewis actually wants to play PF

4/3/2013 9:04:43 PM

what was the deleted tweet?

4/3/2013 9:28:19 PM

he said he was really excited for next year and coach lutz is a great coach

^He's answering a question asked two posts earlier ya dingus.

4/3/2013 9:50:34 PM

The tweet was pulled down because Lutz is going to get the Rutgers job and Lewis is going to peace out.

That would be some NC State stuffs...

4/3/2013 9:57:14 PM

Why are our fans perpetually nutting themselves over Lutz when his primary function is coaching the worst aspect of our past two teams?

4/3/2013 10:04:27 PM

It's becoming very obvious that Lewis would leave if Lutz left. That's all I meant.

4/3/2013 10:31:54 PM

^^exactly. Who knows, maybe he can replace him with a defensive-minded asst
