Staats? How do you pronounce this?

6/1/2011 3:16:25 PM

I would think like "states"

6/1/2011 3:27:55 PM

i fail to see how that makes them thugs. not being intelligent and being a thug are two very different things.

6/1/2011 4:11:51 PM

Most white Americans instantly label any grown black man with tattoos as a thug.

6/1/2011 4:15:11 PM

Most?

6/1/2011 4:21:20 PM

6/1/2011 4:24:27 PM

Point is, how many "wiggers" are in the NBA? Maybe three or four. Birdman, White Chocolate Williams, Mike Miller...and thats really it. So its easier to just group those guys in with the "black thugs" than to try to understand that tattoos are part of their culture, not a sign that they used to ride Harleys or sell narcotics.

primoz brezec strives to be one

That's backwards. Black people are always trying to be like Primoz

I can see how it would confuse some

6/1/2011 4:53:31 PM

^^no one is talking shit, but on the last page VOLCOM says one and done players are thugs.

6/1/2011 5:25:29 PM

Staats Battle lighting it up from 3!!!

(and apparently it's pronounced "stawts", or that's what someone in the crowd called him)

haha not much "jump" to his jumpshot is there?

6/1/2011 8:11:03 PM

6/1/2011 10:07:17 PM

If you've never shot a jumper while yelling "Primoz" then you are truly missing the point of basketball.

6/2/2011 12:18:00 AM

woah, they've got his home and cellphone # on that video

6/2/2011 6:11:46 AM

WTF? Birdman and Miller are country as fuck. Birdman got suspended for Meth use right?

Anyways, I hate posted stuff on threads that is not thread related.

6/6/2011 11:07:46 PM

Now TJ Warren is unofficially visiting in the next day or two as well.

6/7/2011 9:05:01 AM

^^(rednecks can be wiggers, happens all the time)

and PI said Purvis was on campus yesterday (and at Duke a couple times last week)

6/7/2011 9:30:36 AM

The coaching staff must have some serious contacts to get these 5* players interested in us.

Amile Jefferson? Really?

6/7/2011 6:45:18 PM

purvis & warren better hurry

Although Larry Bird was obviously not a wigger, this is very true. Look no further than Gastonia to see examples of this. Wiggers galore.

Amile Jefferson ~ CJ Leslie 2.0? Probably a stretch, I haven't seen videos of him.

6'7" / 185 lbs.
5-star power forward, c/o 2012

Quote :

"A long, wiry combo forward, Jefferson is a good player with a terrific upside. At this point he's a power forward that must add strength to his 6-foot-7 frame. He runs the floor well, has a great set of hands and has the ability to face up and score. Always looking to score, Jefferson has a good-looking jump shot and impressive touch around the basket. "

6/8/2011 9:49:39 AM

^Not as good of a ball handler as CJ, but he's got great moves underneath the basket

6/8/2011 9:54:42 AM

http://northcarolinastate.scout.com/a.z?s=178&p=9&c=4&cfg=bb&yr=2011

Who the hell are Rokas Cesnulevicius and Christian Garrett?

[Edited on June 8, 2011 at 2:42 PM. Reason : also, Amile is now at 198 lbs. His primary focus has been to get stronger and put on weight.]

[Edited on June 8, 2011 at 2:42 PM. Reason : .]

6/8/2011 2:41:26 PM

^They're middling recruits Lowe was looking at...I think Garret was supposedly a package deal with a higher profile recruit but that obviously didn't pan out.

6/8/2011 2:49:34 PM

^^^ That's a scary comment considering I cringe when CJL puts the ball on the floor to do anything but drive.

6/8/2011 3:05:49 PM

cjl isn't a bad ball-handler, especially for his size.

6/8/2011 3:12:43 PM

we still got uchebo committed?

6/8/2011 3:28:05 PM

no

6/8/2011 3:34:13 PM

^^not to be a dick, but where have you been? he decommitted a while ago

6/8/2011 3:37:15 PM

nobody is transferring after the coaching change, right?

6/8/2011 9:36:36 PM

wait, what coaching change?

lolololol I came here to post "obviously you've never been to gastonia" but you beat me to the punch

6/8/2011 10:24:40 PM

If I could blow one place off this planet it would be Chapel Hill, but Gastonia wouldn't be too far behind.

6/8/2011 10:27:30 PM

i was seeing a girl from Gastonia for a little bit, and it ended because i couldn't stop making fun of Gastonia. she was hot, but i couldn't bite my tongue. i laugh about it now because she took it so seriously.

as far as recruiting, has TJ Warren given a timetable for his decision? if not, when would a player generally decide on a school? if it was me, i would like to decide before my senior year of basketball started just to get it out of the way.

6/8/2011 10:51:17 PM

We just offered 4 star SG Katin Reinhardt:

6/8/2011 11:01:37 PM

Can't have too many 6'5"'+ ball-handlers. But we could def use a big in 2012.

In '12, we should have seniors Howell, Painter, & Vandenburg (assuming jr. CJL will be gone). and we'll soon see if (then) sophomores Tyler Harris and Thomas De Thaey will be significant contributors... but an elite 2012 PF/C would be nice.



workout video of TdT and some other white guys (prob already posted): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyhaPw8YbsE

6/9/2011 12:15:10 AM

^i think TDT is going to be a solid player

6/9/2011 8:14:33 AM

I don't think CJ will leave early. If he didn't do it after this shitty year, and he didn't do it after his best bro left... I think he may be in it for the long haul.

Which would make me

6/9/2011 10:44:36 AM

well he didnt really get to showcase his talent last year, if he comes out and plays up to his potential and is a projected lottery pick, he'll probably leave
