You should tweet to Rodney Purvis that you dream about him

8/4/2011 8:20:29 AM

You should tweet Jeremy Hyatt and ask him to go dirt bike riding.

8/4/2011 8:42:53 AM

That's a pretty weird wet dream.

"had a bizarre dream last night that Rodney Purvis was going to announce at 1:00am and i had to be the first one to hear he was coming to State, so i stayed up all night for the announcement. Then somehow i got lost dirt biking in the woods with Jeremy Hyatt and couldn't make it back for the announcement. The last time I had such a dream, it was for the JJ Hickson announcement. it worked."

Hahaha. A lot of times I'll have a dream about a game or something the week leading up to a big game (UNC game or something like that). But I don't think I've ever had a dream about a recruit...and definitely not about Jeremy Hyatt lol.

DP. TJ #1 in NC, just over Purvis. Torian and Tyler are 3rd and 6th

Quote :

"1 - TJ Warren SF 6'8" 220Garner Road/Brewster NCSU, UNC, UK, Georgetown, Florida... One of the most prolific scorers NC has witnessed since JamesOn Curry. 3's, mid range and getting to rim at will are all in his arsenal. Don't expect a letup from TJ though, his upside and work ethic is unheard of. Once he spends some time working on toning his body and athleticism, his college stay will not be of the extended nature. 2 - Rodney Purvis SG 6’3”185CP3/Upper Room NC State,Missouri Powerful and athletic shooting guard that helped lead CP3 to the final four at AAU Nationals alongside a bevy of Top 100 talent. Developing his jump shot and point guard skills should allow him to play his desired position at the highest level(s). 3 - Torian Graham SG 6’4" 180DC Assault/CP3 NC State Very athletic shooter who has a bit of streakiness to him. His final ranking will be a testament to his upcoming high school season, as his AAU season has been marred with injury. ....... 6 - Tyler Lewis PG 5’11" 165Oak Hill/Team Loaded NC State A true definition of a point guard. He took the title as the top lead guard in the state and quite possibly the nation. Tyler runs a team like a seasoned veteran. He can also score at a high rate. His improved jump shot has opened up his game to new levels going into one of high school basketball's most storied programs. Stock should continue to soar over the next year. ..... "

Awesome to hear, but how in the world is he only the 6th best player in NC?

8/4/2011 10:21:09 PM

Haven't looked at the UConn scout.com board in weeks, but did tonight and they are saying Purvis reached out to UConn and they are in the mix. Probably not a threat, but not sure why that'd be made up.

^ obvious hyperbole. Lewis a good get, but hardly the top PG in the nation in the class...

Which of these recruits will be our Marvin Austin?


I'm taking bets.

8/4/2011 10:22:58 PM

You shut your whore mouth

8/4/2011 10:32:50 PM

^^^ Ut oh. I hope Purvis doesn't want to follow Kemba's footsteps.

8/5/2011 10:00:01 AM

I don't think UConn will wait for him if he drags it out. They are in on Ledo and Dunn too. Still think we have a good chance with him... though Scout.com did recently add UConn to his list (no offer though yet).

8/5/2011 6:21:32 PM

he said he's announcing this month, so i don't think he'll drag it out. i would be irritated if he chose UConn this late in the recruiting process, considering he wants to announce this month.

maybe he knows something about purvis coming and thinks he won't get pt? plz

8/8/2011 1:17:49 PM

^ I hate you

8/8/2011 1:18:46 PM

oh noes

8/8/2011 1:19:45 PM

Shit ... that's odd. Hopefully this plays out like the CJL situation where he just wants some more interest.

8/8/2011 1:21:35 PM

This sucks but, if we get a Purvis commitment by the end of the month, I'll be like

8/8/2011 1:23:25 PM

LOL, its August and this guy doesn't know what high school he's attending this year.

8/8/2011 1:24:01 PM

Damn that sucks dick about Graham. Everytime things start looking better for bball, some shit always happens.

8/8/2011 1:36:16 PM

The Ponzi scheme was just the beginning.

8/8/2011 1:40:17 PM

womp womp

8/8/2011 1:43:20 PM

it was a long shot for him to qualify...prolly going prep school route eventually anyways.

8/8/2011 1:44:49 PM

strange, I hope its because he knows Purvis and/or TJ Warren are coming, but I have a feeling thats not the case. I would really like to hear what his reasoning is for decommiting...

8/8/2011 1:52:27 PM

doubt it has anything to do with warren (different postions), maybe purvis, but more likely academics.... but really no point in speculating. really sucks, but just open up room for someone else, right?

8/8/2011 2:00:58 PM

Quote :

"I hope its because he knows Purvis and/or TJ Warren are coming"

My thinking would be that he would decommit if he knew they weren't coming. Star players that are serious about winning want to play with other star players. Hasn't he been quoted as saying he wanted to play with guys like Purvis, etc.?

8/8/2011 2:09:12 PM

^ yeah but we do have like 5 SG/SF being recruited in this class

8/8/2011 2:16:01 PM

http://www.wralsportsfan.com/ncsu/story/9967948/

Quote :

"Torian Graham was an early target of NC State basketball coach Mark Gottfried who landed the 6-4 guard in May. But Sunday, Graham told Wolfpack coaches that he was decommitting from NC State. "It's nothing personal," Graham told WRAL on Monday. "It was something I had to do." Graham, who is the 25th ranked overall player in the class of 2012, was a statement recruit for new Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried. He chose NC State over Kentucky, UNC, Miami and Georgetown. "I feel like I rushed my decision," he explained of his May commitment. "I need to sit down with my family and my bother, who just got to town, to discuss my future. I need to take it slowly this time" NC State remains on his list. "Oh yes sir," he quickly responded. Graham said Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, UCLA and Baylor are also on his list of schools to explore."

Not so sure academics are the reason...

8/8/2011 2:18:30 PM

haha...don't you know that every time someone decommits or takes us off their list the story is always "oh well, he was a long shot to qualify anyways"

8/8/2011 2:22:21 PM

another fine example of teenagers not knowing what they want

8/8/2011 2:23:49 PM

Bet he'll hold a presser at Sammys when he signs.

8/8/2011 2:25:53 PM

NC STATE SHIT....

8/8/2011 2:45:15 PM

Fuck

Things were looking so good....now we might not get Graham, Purvis, or Warren.

8/8/2011 3:02:20 PM

hahaha i love how people are bringing up him not qualifying before his senior year even starts.

8/8/2011 3:34:26 PM

^he hasnt even chosen a high school to go to this fall.

that doesnt tell you anything about his grades/academics?

8/8/2011 4:00:26 PM

baylor? G.T.F.O. that school is shady as hell, definitely $$$$ involved. "oh nos, we super clean. sure, we disbanded our team after a murder and numerous violations, but that was the past. we are now luring top recruits out of NC because of great sales pitches and what not"

8/8/2011 5:35:45 PM

Is it bad that I am not surprised at all that this happened?

8/8/2011 6:23:19 PM

he wants to wear blue

8/8/2011 6:28:29 PM

Wouldn't surprise me if his brother is convincing him to wear blue instead of red.

8/8/2011 10:33:23 PM

We are not paying players enough.
