no it's not, you can recruit someone but not sign them -- jaybee is right about that

but they didn't recruit anyone for this year because they would not be able to sign them

1/6/2008 2:34:05 PM

what was said was that they based their high expectation on State getting JJ, and I simply said that other teams also get good players from time to time too.. if anything UNC not having any scholarships left proves my point even more, they were already loaded and thus deserved their high ranking

thats completely wrong, USC started recruiting a 14 year old this year

If you recruit someone, you've formally signed them. look it up if you're that ignorant.

1/6/2008 2:35:49 PM

i never said other schools didn't recruit

hickson was a HUGE recruit though, only duke added better talent this season

to recruit someone means to contact them, to follow them around the country, and attempt to sign them

every school recruits several players but only signs a few

every player is recruited by several schools but only signed by one

^sigh. verbal commitments are not recruits.

1/6/2008 2:37:39 PM

christ guys, i wasn't serious.

1/6/2008 2:37:52 PM

^^ so rivals.com's recruiting section ONLY deals with players that are already signed? And all the recruiting experts just talk about players once they have signed with a college?

is this argument actually happening? dear god...

1/6/2008 2:40:51 PM

the "recruiting trail" must be the trip coaches make to sign players

1/6/2008 2:41:16 PM

25 minutes left to edit... and it's been documented in the ST quotes thread

1/6/2008 2:41:41 PM

well hell everyone, I am officially a recruiting expert! I have a 99% track record of naming which schools players go to after they already go to the school!

"DraftExpress: There have been a lot of conflicting reports as to what your actual list of prospective schools is. Can you set the record straight and tell me what schools you are considering? Mayo: As far as right now, we’re totally open to whoever. I would like to be recruited by everyone and make a good choice for me and my family. Right now I’m open. We’ll put out an official list probably going into my senior year. "

OJ Mayo wanted to be signed by everyone.

"He would have been the most highly recruited player in the country had he stayed his senior season. Texas, Miami and Michigan were among the many schools already lined up to make him offers. But Booty shocked everyone by leaving before his final season to sign with USC."

"The Iowa game in Herb's last year."

Iowa won the Big Ten that year and we lost by a whole 2 points at their place. Try again.

1/6/2008 9:18:46 PM

i sort of agree that it was a really bad game (iowa)

i think it was 45-42? well you said 2 pts so i dunno

terribly played game IIRC

[Edited on January 6, 2008 at 9:20 PM. Reason : ]

I don't care if Iowa did win the Big Ten, that game was complete shit.

Both schools should have been embarrassed.

1/7/2008 1:33:47 PM

I think this thread shows that we have a lot of "worst" performances.

sigh

1/7/2008 1:48:31 PM

^^^^ the only saving grace about the Presbyterian game compared to Iowa/St Johns is that we won this one... the caliber of play/game preperation was FAR FAR worse in the PC game than any game against a BCS (power 6 or what ever have you) team...

the thread isn't about the worst losses in nc state history, it's about the worst performances

and that was some of the worst basketball i've ever seen

1/7/2008 4:20:30 PM

like many others have already said, St. John's is the first one that comes to my mind

1/7/2008 4:26:40 PM

The entire season in which State wore the Unitards

Any of the losses to UNC during the Amato era.

1/7/2008 5:48:20 PM

Ok, I'll eat some of the crow thinking we could win the acc but if i knew we would lose our only decent pg before acc play even started i would have picked us 5th.

1/7/2008 6:14:17 PM

just gettin' er' ready

1/12/2008 12:57:39 PM

i believe this game is going to do it

1/12/2008 12:58:09 PM

the first half alone warrants placement in this thread

1/12/2008 12:59:34 PM

1/12/2008 1:00:27 PM

Every single game we play...is the worst game of my life.



What about today...is today the worst game of your life?



Shyea..
