7/11/2011 10:26:17 AM

^I think a bomb threat will suffice...

Julius Hodge retweeted this...Jay Lewis (the walk on) tweeted it last night:

7/11/2011 12:15:13 PM

What do you mean "again"

7/11/2011 12:16:55 PM

what do you mean "start"?

7/11/2011 12:17:33 PM

i mean i have optimism we won't suck as bad this year.

now if that proves untrue...


Also, I guess I should add the FBI to my list, since I will be crossing state lines and all that.

[Edited on July 11, 2011 at 12:18 PM. Reason : HEY FBI!]

[Edited on July 11, 2011 at 12:20 PM. Reason : i mean maybe if lee fowler were still around and we didnt fire coaches who kept us in last place.]

there must be a way to automatically post every tweet of Gottfried in here to save everyone the trouble

7/12/2011 9:14:42 PM

What's he talking about?

7/12/2011 11:12:12 PM

^Apparently a coach must have backed out of a game they had agreed to play in the first tweet. And in the second tweet, "Peach Jam" is some tournament for high school players...he's apparently there on recruiting trips and doesn't want to get fat eating brownies

7/12/2011 11:15:38 PM

no i think he is being racist.

GOT TO STAY AWAY FROM THE BROWNIES

7/12/2011 11:19:38 PM

i'm embarrassed that i know this, but he said he is staying away from fast food, and is eating salads in the car. i hope he isn't driving.

7/12/2011 11:32:26 PM

i totally read that 2nd tweet as Pearl Jam and was about to give the Got +1 credibility for grunge rock.

7/13/2011 8:32:39 AM

Good to see Gottfried has Hodge acting as the non-program affiliated summer coach. +24 Hodge credibility points.

Quote :

"Hodge helped organize a game between UNC and N.C State players on Monday in Raleigh. "I like the progression I was seeing from the N.C. State team but I didn't want them to get their heads too big," Hodge said. "I wanted them to see what team camaraderie is and where they are right now and how they have to continue to progress." Hodge used to scrimmage the Tar Heels all the time when he was with the Wolfpack, and he was excited to see it happen again. "I think it was good to bring back the N.C. State-UNC rivalry because we all know that was the original rivalry before UNC and Duke," Hodge said."

"To be truthful, I'm more excited about July coming than I ever remember being," he said. "Who knows? Come mid-July I may start thinking back to being on that boat with my feet up and a cold one in my hand. And I may have moments of wondering 'What did I do?' But in all sincerity, I can't tell you how eager I am to put my eyes on certain guys and to get this recruiting thing going full speed." ... In that regard, the preliminary reports from the road seem encouraging with Gottfried and the Wolfpack actively involved with a number of top-tier recruits. What's more, the interest of the State staff is being reciprocated. And there's a chance, based on what happens the rest of this month and into the early fall, that the direction of the program may have its course charted even before Gottfried coaches his first game in mid-November."

:/

7/15/2011 3:28:01 PM

is the new "state" apparel available yet other than to staff/athletes? Haven't seen it in my local sports store yet.

7/15/2011 3:31:21 PM

i don't mind adidas...there have been a lot of designs i haven't liked in the past few years but I think they got better last year...hopefully we keep progressing...if not I'm glad our contract is almost up

7/15/2011 3:33:59 PM

I need to find one of those shirts. Adidas has definitely been getting better, but I still wouldn't mind if we switched to someone else.

7/15/2011 3:54:31 PM

has anyone else found that adidas shirts are cut funny?

they always seem to be tight in the torso area and just a bit too long, like they're cut for a giant lanky basketball player

7/15/2011 4:09:10 PM

The addidas logo on the front ruins it for me. I understand that most athletic wear has the logo on it, but that is too front and center for me. It would be so much better if it was on the back.

7/15/2011 4:18:12 PM

adidas tends to be better when they stay classic with their design. things start getting ridiculous when they try to make things look modern or futuristic.

i think if we're trying to make things a little more retro this year, then adidas can still be good. i just hope that they keep it red & white and leave the black trim out this time.

7/15/2011 5:44:01 PM

I was talking with some friends last night about how great of a hire Gottfried has been so far. He has elbowed his way onto the radar of several top recruits. If he can back his recruiting up with a solid year (ncaa tourney bid minimum ) then we are set up to be very good for the foreseeable future.

I'm trying to temper my expectations but I love the entire culture shift Coach has brought in. There's not a recruit out there that we are afraid to offer. and from the sounds of our current players they respect the new staff and will be playing with more discipline. I love it

Quote :

"Top hoops prospect’s mom pulls him from AAU game By Cameron Smith Devonta Pollard is one of the top basketball recruits in the Class of 2012. To be specific, Rivals.com ranks the versatile small forward as the No. 6 overall prospect in the senior class. Fittingly, he's being recruited by national powerhouses like Kentucky, Duke and Georgetown, not to mention a host of other strong programs. Yet all of the Porterville (Miss.) Kemper County prospect's prodigious talent isn't always enough to keep his harshest critic at bay. Who is that critic, you ask? His mom, of course. At a recent high-profile tournament game, she made that abundantly clear by literally pulling him off the floor after the hoops star committed two consecutive errors. More embarrassingly, she forcibly removed her own in front of a gaggle of the nation's best college basketball coaches."
