nah, next season will be better than last. mark it dude.

6/15/2011 2:37:53 PM

i really hope so. but even Gottfried admitted this season will be a challenge.

depth at guard will be the biggest issue, and if Gottfried can overcome that, then i will poop in my pants

6/15/2011 2:41:06 PM

i too will poop in my pants

6/15/2011 2:42:51 PM

I will poop my shoes

6/15/2011 3:05:22 PM

I will poop in your pants

I know I'm going to end up being let down, but I look at the team with 5* talent in CJL and Brown that should be maturing and getting better with a new staff, upperclassmen in Howell and Wood, and a coaching staff that has been successful at the D-1 level in the past. If we can get someone like Painter or TBDV to pan out as a defensively solid center then our starting 5 shouldn't be any worse than any ACC team outside of Duke or UNC. Bench play is where this team could make or break a semi-successful season. I'm slightly optimistic about next year....again.

6/15/2011 3:31:24 PM

whoa man...calm down with that crazy talk.

6/15/2011 3:34:18 PM

WE DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO OPTIMISM IN HERE!

Say what you will about their writing skills, PI does provide some good info sometimes. Here's bios and vids of five 2013 prospects that Gottfried supposedly offered yesterday:

6/16/2011 10:02:05 AM

you know those bios are stolen from espn right?

6/16/2011 10:15:10 AM

i figured they were stolen from somewhere, but so what. i'd rather they steal them from espn than try to write them themselves. i just like they they're compiling the list of offers and attaching videos.

6/16/2011 6:45:38 PM

6/16/2011 7:43:21 PM

Packs leads for Rodney Purvis & TJ Warren. If I was a betting man, State will have Lewis, Graham, Purvis & Warren in their 2012 class

That would be an epic recruiting class, chance to be best in the country. I thought it was looking more like we'd get Amile Jefferson over Warren though. Not sure he wants to play in his Dad's shadow.

What shadow?

6/18/2011 4:19:10 PM

^his father played @ ncsu

6/18/2011 4:27:57 PM

No shit....

The point was that his father was a contributor during a mediocre period of State basketball. There is no shadow.

6/18/2011 4:39:23 PM

Well it's not like his dad is David Thompson or hell even have his jersey hanging in the rafters.

My thoughts exactly...

6/18/2011 5:29:24 PM

I sure hope you're right Rick Lewis.

6/18/2011 6:47:36 PM

I think he's gonna go to State. He wants a chance to be the man right when he steps on campus and he'll have that chance here with plenty of playing time. factor that in with how well Tyler Lewis seems to be progressing and the future looks good.
