CJ Leslie...... hasn't made his decision public yet.

In other recruiting news, the N&O wrote a great story on Lorenzo Brown:

The only thing of substance in that Lo Brown article is that he still isn't qualified.

True, but it's a good read.

2/28/2010 12:38:04 PM

^^As a supposed fan of NC State, and for a recruit that has already signed, what would you consider as a story of "substance" (other than saying he's qualified). Would you rather see the usual negative NC State media stories? Or would you just prefer that we got no media attention at all?

I think it's pretty "substantial" to hear that he's taking the books more seriously than he was in HS. Maybe that's just looking through rose-colored glasses though.

Haha I'm too much of an NC State fan to take anything but his qualification seriously.

I'm gonna be overly optimistic and make a claim that someone will eventually call me crazy for:

If Zo stays 4 years he'll have one before he leaves

2/28/2010 8:58:12 PM

4 years where?

2/28/2010 9:03:06 PM

the school he's signed a LOI to...?

2/28/2010 9:06:46 PM

i'm getting mixed signals here....

is he going to qualify or not? i need to know -- will Zo run with the pack in 2010-11

2/28/2010 9:10:06 PM

yes

the phrase "running with the pack" ftmfl btw

2/28/2010 9:10:40 PM

that's one of my lumberpack3 catch phrases

i guess i should leave that one over at PP. figured i'd test the waters over here

2/28/2010 9:13:16 PM

i'm pretty sure most of PP isn't keen on the phrase either. at least most of the people who aren't complete idiots. (so i really shouldn't say most of PP...)

2/28/2010 9:15:10 PM

i never understood the beef with "run w/ the pack".

is there some history?

[Edited on February 28, 2010 at 9:41 PM. Reason : i like black. and wolves.]

2/28/2010 9:25:52 PM

it's the same thing about the live wolves and the black unis

lol, self reporting incoming.

2/28/2010 11:02:58 PM

technically, if Julius has ever given anything to the athletics department, he is a booster

and I don't think boosters are allowed to openly solicit for a recruit on the internets

2/28/2010 11:08:20 PM

if he hasn't given money, would his athletic contributions count?

2/28/2010 11:27:53 PM

Hodge is still the best

3/1/2010 12:34:30 AM

^^^thats why he put "I" in quotations

3/1/2010 8:19:53 AM

ahaha I love this kid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8tbJQVS0bA

3/1/2010 10:05:24 AM

What is everyone predicting for next season's record (conference)?

3/1/2010 10:08:46 AM

Way too early bro

but lets say 11-5 for shits and gigs

3/1/2010 10:10:48 AM

^Sorry, all of this recruit talk is making me pumped for next season.

3/1/2010 10:15:39 AM

7-9

3/1/2010 10:21:40 AM

I think hodge is just catching on to our recruiting class.....

3/1/2010 10:22:47 AM

his season just ended

...and he has a broken wrist

now he has all the time in the world

3/1/2010 10:38:04 AM

CJ on twitter today: "No delay....Bs"

[optimism]Maybe he was just waiting on his grades to recommit?!?[/optimism]

3/3/2010 9:56:13 AM

When does Leslie officially have to declare by?

3/3/2010 10:00:10 AM

before first day of class

3/3/2010 10:17:28 AM

i just realized he's probably talking about the snow...crap

3/3/2010 11:24:55 AM

hahaha..that made my morning

3/3/2010 11:44:30 AM

lol

3/3/2010 12:25:26 PM

whats funny as shit and totally retarded is that you were so fucking pumped up about a CJ Leslie twitter that you posted it on two websites before you realized it he was talking about snow.



Stop stalking our recruits. kthx

yeah there is a fine line between superfan and creepy. But twitter is bigtime now.

Much different than tracking the wendell murphy/calipari jet from memphis to raleigh -then creating a series of supporting photoshops....

3/3/2010 5:42:21 PM

ahahhahahaha

delay = recommitting

LOLhahaha

3/3/2010 5:45:04 PM

Where does Leslie fit best?

3/3/2010 8:01:32 PM

That article was full of stupid. They said that Leslie would be used the same way as Hickson what dumbfucks. I had to double check that it wasn't written by some kentucky homer or something.

[Edited on March 3, 2010 at 9:01 PM. Reason : asdf]

3/3/2010 9:01:09 PM

i think it was pretty fair, but the JJ comparison was a little suspect.

as was the patrick patterson comparison.

3/3/2010 9:08:45 PM

That was a dumb comment, but I don't think the writer meant any harm. Maybe he just means that he'll be the focal point of our offense like JJ was. He won't, but it's nice to say.

serious question, because I don't know the ins and outs of NCAA regulations --

would it be OK to put CJ Leslie on the Jumbotron on Sunday with some sort of message on the screen? something to the effect of "2010 ACC Player of the Year" or "Wolves > Cats"

3/4/2010 8:32:29 AM

^definitely not ok.

now, i bet they could "unknowingly" put him up there briefly WITHOUT any messages indicating they knew who he was, and i'm sure the knowledgeable fans could take over from there and start a big chant of some kind.
