Love the "I just don't see it" mentality coming from some dudes sitting around watching youtube videos and a few minutes of some skill challenges. Those guys that have watched countless AAU games and camps with some of the best high school players in the country are dumb

3/27/2012 5:44:08 PM

i know, it's pretty hilarious. pulling "he'll struggle mightily" out their ass.

3/27/2012 5:45:11 PM

I dont think he'll struggle, I was just asking what is it that makes him so elite? Just his bball IQ? Mid range game? Post up moves?

and ^^^^, not quite. Hes 6-9 200 lbs, being 6'1 and weighing more than 200 lbs doesnt make you whatever the hell is in that picture. haha

I really, really like the idea of criticizing someone's skill set and overall quality based on Youtube highlight videos and skills competitions. I think it's awesome.

In other words, you're fat???

3/27/2012 7:20:37 PM

^^ you sir, can blow me
^ yes, clearly weighing more than 200lbs at 6'1 makes you fat.

If you read my initial post, it is set as a question, you can either give an answer to what makes him a top 15 recruit or dont, but dont give me that users with less than a 1000 posts nonsense. Im not criticizing him, of the three recruits we have coming in, we know what they bring to the table. A slasher, someone thats an all around scorer and a floor general. Where does Amile fall in? thats all Im wondering.

Warren is said to be an elite scorer. Purvis too. We just need good basketball players at this point, especially in the post. Jefferson is that guy.

And if Ryan Harrow taught me anything, it's that YouTube highlight videos mean jack shit

3/27/2012 9:24:40 PM

sorry, but bringing up harrow is really getting lame. you can criticize ryan for being weak on defense, for being whiney, for not playing against unc when he was "sick", for leaving the team. but the kid lived up to his youtube hype. he showed flashes of nastiness, he averaged 9.3 points, 3.3 assists in 23 minutes as a back-up undersized freshman. if you were expecting more based on his youtube hs videos, that's your fault.

Rwoody, you're usually a solid role player, but you blew it on this one. Everyone knows BMI is horseshit. Shit, I'm six foot, and I weight 320 pounds. Are you calling me fat? Because then we might have a problem.

3/27/2012 10:09:10 PM

^^^I don't like talking about Harrow either, but he's the poster child for a guy who's YouTube videos don't match up with his play on the court. And yeah, I'll admit ... I bit off way too much hype. Just vowing to never make that mistake again.

And I don't care what he averaged last year. He was completely over-matched on the court and void of any sort of consistency when it came to making plays. His shot was all over the place, his defense nonexistent, and he didn't have the strength to finish virtually any shot in the paint, save for the occasional circus flip. But it was the tweeting/whining/frowning on the court that trumped any on-the-court shortcomings



[Edited on March 27, 2012 at 11:40 PM. Reason : Alright, that's the last thing I'll say about Harrow]

THe word on PP is that there are tweets going around about some of the players being sick.

3/28/2012 11:34:45 AM

That's because the old-timers on PP don't know what it means when someone tweets "I saw Tyler Lewis and Rodney Purvis during drills, those guys are sick!"

"Rasheed Sulaimon vs. Rodney Purvis Fans on Tobacco Road will be watching the Sulaimon-Purvis matchup intently because it will be a great preview of the future competitions between Duke and NC State. Both Sulaimon and Purvis have big-time scoring ability with the confidence to match. Purvis is nearly unstoppable in the transition game and has the potential to score in spurts; he easily could be the game's leading scorer if he gets going on a hot streak. It will be interesting to see if Sulaimon, who has the potential to be a lockdown defender, goes after Purvis defensively in an all-star setting. T.J. Warren vs. Shabazz Muhammad Warren and Muhammad are both terrific scorers. Warren knows how to move the defense with shot and ball fakes and can score through contact with ease and regularity. However, he is not known for his defense and will have his work cut out for him with Muhammad, who is an elite athlete with the best motor in the class, hands down. Muhammad, who is an improved shooter to the arc, will attack Warren on every catch. Both can get to the rim on the break and from the wing in the half-court set. Advantage Muhammad, because he is more athletic, has a better motor and is a much better defender."

I'll be at the game. Section 107 Row 3. You are more than welcome to come hang out. There will be four Chicago Wolfpackers there, I think the only cool thing we are bringing is a flag. No time for sign making. Sorry, AJ.

"Any reference to the North Carolina contingent at the McDonald’s All-American Game in Chicago tonight means N.C. State recruits, not future University of North Carolina players. The Wolfpack has three Tar Heels in the game, but the designation applies not to their college decision, but to their residence. T. J. Warren, who grew up in Durham, and Tyler Lewis, from Lewisville, played their senior seasons at out-of-state high schools, but they join Raleigh’s Rodney Purvis in giving the state, and State, three players in the game. It is a record for the state and for the university. Lewis played at Forsyth Country Club, but transferred to Mouth of Wilson (Va.) Oak Hill Academy and helped coach Steve Smith’s Warriors to a 44-0 national championship season. Lewis was named the Virginia Gatorade Player of the Year. Purvis picked up the N.C. Gatorade award for while playing at Raleigh’s Upper Room Christian Academy. Warren’s father Tony was one of the best basketball players ever at Raleigh Enloe High and later played at N.C. State. T.J. played at Durham Riverside as a sophomore, at Raleigh Word of God as a junior and last year at Wolfeboro (N.H.) Brewster Academy. Aiming for N.C. State Lewis said the players had often talked about going to N.C. State. “Coach (Mark) Gottfriend has turned the program around. We know we’re going to have a lot of pressure on us. That’s even more exciting,” he said. Purvis said N.C. State was a great fit for him. “It was probably one of the best decisions that I’ve made in a long time,” he said. “Just being able to play with guys that I grew up with, Tyler Lewis and T.J. Warren. N.C. State made a great run in the tournament. I’m really happy with my decision.” Gottfried has impressed the recruits. Purvis was considering schools such as Memphis, Connecticut and Ohio State before the coach sold him on the Wolfpack. Warren said the three players know there is a lot of work ahead of them. “We just want to get there and work hard and try to be one of the top teams in the country next year,” he said. “We just want to bring NC State back to where it needs to be. “We know what we have to do and we’re going to do it. We’re going to come in and work hard. We’re going to take it as far as we can. There also is a chance that N.C. State eventually may be able to claim four 2012 McDonald’s All-Americans because uncommitted Amile Jefferson, a 6-foot-8 forward from Philadelphia, has the Wolfpack among his finalists. “Hopefully, we can have some more McDonald’s All-Americans. We’re definitely putting the full-court pressure on him. We really want him there,” Lewis said Tuesday. Shabazz Muhammad, the nation’s top-ranked player, also is not committed. North Carolina, the school, is represented by Marcus Paige of Marion, Iowa, the top-ranked point guard recruit in the country, and Duke has shooting guard Rasheed Sulaimon of Houston in the game Read more here: http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/03/27/1963346/nc-state-recruits-ready-for-mcdonalds.html#storylink=cpy"
