"To all my Wolfpack fans, I want to say thank you for all the support and faith that y'all have in Lorenzo and I. We are very excited to be coming to such a highly-regarded school. Lorenzo and I have talked about playing basketball at NC State together and with the rest of the players that will be there for a long time. We are looking to come in and make the team better by the hard work we put in before practice, during practice, and after. We have winner mentalities and hopefully that will rub off on the players that are in a slump this season. Me personally, I have always been excited about coming to NC State ever since coach Monte Towe and Coach Lowe walked into my high school gym my freshman year. Coach Lowe believed in me when a lot of coaches thought I didn't have what it takes. Sad on those coaches behalf haha. Now I am what I am and I'm sticking beside Coach Lowe because of the loyalty he showed me. I feel if a person treats you with that much respect and has that much faith, then I must show that same courtesy back. Myself and Lorenzo are on NC State's blogs and forums everyday and we look to see all the support you give us, but now a days we see so much negative and it has become really discomforting to my godbrother and I. The things that are said about the fans giving up and not wanting to show the support like I know y'all can. I was at the Duke game. Our fans can get crazy lol. Those statements matter to me. I came to the school at first solely for Coach Lowe but when I come to see games and people are greeting me, saying " thank you so much for joining us", it made me realize I love the atmosphere too. These fans can get better. I hate going on the forums reading those things. Also Lorenzo and I see the statements about coach Lowe and it really makes me think, "what am I getting myself into". Coach Lowe works hard and is very passionate about the game. He just needs people and players around him like Lorenzo, Luke, C.J., and me to transpire that fire onto the court. Every bad game we cannot criticize coach Lowe. It comes down to the players performing on the court. I know Coach Lowe is going to help my game and make me the best point guard I can be. But it will come in time. The 2010 class will be a great one, especially adding to the players that's already at the school. We will get better as the year goes on. But y'all have to remember, even though I think myself and Lorenzo are two of the best guards out there in the nation, we are coming into a new experience so we have to learn a little first. So if we don't get the results y'all want right away, plz don't give up on supporting the team and don't say we need to fire the coach. We are going to be a great team and one of the best teams to come through NC State. It just takes time. I hope Lorenzo and I have not offended anybody and would hope that y'all understand where we are coming from. My family and Lorenzo's family are Wolfpack until we die now, but we need support and comfort. Thank you and Go STATE! --Ryan Harrow"

Most mature people I know don't take message boards that seriously.

well, as long as people on message boards are serious about what they are saying then why shouldn't the kid take it seriously?

2/14/2010 9:24:16 PM

^lol i think its funny that people think that a message board really makes a difference in recruiting when the product on the court is in dfl with a 2-9 record... that speaks for itself imho

2/14/2010 9:25:49 PM

well, from what I'm reading it sounds like it matters to the guy. whether we are in first or last place or whatever he's starting to feel uneasy about the fans here. but it's not really the fans' fault because it's obviously hard to stay positive when the team is as bad as it is. so w/e

2/14/2010 10:58:27 PM

yeah, and then he called them fucking idiots

lol

2/14/2010 11:00:31 PM

he better be smart, because these three guys are apparently the only reason worth keeping lowe around.

2/15/2010 12:04:30 AM

havent you been listening

its not like we're over here saying sid has shown to be a genius

we have to get them in here before we do anything, or else we are stuck with julius and god knows what

we cant do tracy like that.

[Edited on February 15, 2010 at 12:14 AM. Reason : can we change our name to the vancouver grizzlies?]

2/15/2010 12:13:01 AM

There are coaches with higher upsides out there that would come here no question from a smaller conference. Been saying that since last year.

Whatever, Sid's like Chuck Amato without the NFL prospects.

actually changing our name to Vancouver Grizzlies is fitting b/c he sucked there even more.

thanks for explaining that

though suprisingly, he was better than most grizzlies coaches. god, its about time they aren't complete shit.

[Edited on February 15, 2010 at 8:21 PM. Reason : .]

2/15/2010 8:20:08 PM

unfortunately sid's main problem so far has been him not having a point guard capable of running his nba style offense. Hopefully with Harrow and Lo brown coming in he can finally get a guard who can handle the offense. We aren't getting rid of Lowe this year, so everyone might as well support him for next year.

If we still can't show any progress with the class he has coming in, then maybe its time to start looking elsewhere, but I say at least give him time with a true PG coming in.

2/16/2010 8:07:56 AM

Apparently Cothron ('10) and Uchebo ('12) nearly brawled after last night's game... lol.

I'm still not 100% sold on Cothron coming here but that is an odd story. I wonder if they are boys who just got carried away?

2/16/2010 8:11:25 AM

have a source that tells me CJ Leslie officially narrowed it down to UK and NCSU last night at senior night

lol well that really narrows it down then doesn't it.

2/16/2010 11:32:11 AM

Leslie would start from day one putting Wood on the bench where he would probably be better off for now.

Leslie/Brown/Harrow HAVE to start.....

2/16/2010 12:10:21 PM

if we can keep lowe somehow ... and keep some of these recruits coming in b/c Uchebo is damn grown ass man

I wouldn't have ruled out him getting paid by Nike to go to some random ass school like Oregon by there's a 0% chance he was ever going to play for Sweaty Gary

2/16/2010 1:11:13 PM

^ did you seriously not see the article outlining how they were in the running and how CJ would work into the system perfectly (like a player of his level wouldn't work into any system ) and the writer guessing he would end up there????

Its not like I picked a school out of my ass... it has been written about, not to mention the handful of other schools which were supposedly in on him

2/16/2010 3:26:23 PM

Im impressed with you already Mr. Harrow..impressed already....if you have the leadership skills that Julius Hodge brought to the table then GREAT things really are in store for my Wolfpack squad!!

2/16/2010 5:37:54 PM

Ryan Harrow was suspended long ago

he probably doesn't even read TWW anymore, so unfortunately, your well-delivered post will fall on deaf ears
