not sure how this capers dude gets his info, but he seems legit enough -- he's a scout.com writer for south carolina.

12/22/2011 12:15:53 AM

Agree.

Not something you come cocktease another fanbase about, as a scout writer, if it isn't legit.

Wonder if he's at the City of Palms classic tournament, which I believe Amile is at, and got the info from there?

(That is, assuming it's about Amile?)

Harrow's transferring back!

12/22/2011 12:24:23 AM

fuck off ryan harrow, rodney purvis incoming.

for real though, i wish that kid had stayed

12/22/2011 12:25:35 AM

he's at the chick fil a classic in SC. he tweeted a while ago that orlando early was there as well.

Torian Graham is in that tournament (Word of God)....not sure if that's a coincidence or not.

Jefferson and Gathers are not, I don't believe

12/22/2011 12:33:00 AM

i thought graham was at word of god too, but i checked the box scores for both games and he's not listed...? scout still has him there too.

not much use reading this much into a couple of tweets, but still enough cause for optimism.

12/22/2011 12:39:19 AM

Torian Graham on twitter

Quote :

"NEW AVI TOMMRW!!! that FYIII"

Could be reading way too much in to it, but $10 says it is changed to something to do with State. Given everything else that's been mentioned, and him tweeting that, I think it's too much to overlook.

12/22/2011 12:42:04 AM

This is a noob question, but 'avi'?

As in video file (.avi)?

12/22/2011 12:50:03 AM

probably "avatar", as in the little picture associated with your twitter account

12/22/2011 12:51:33 AM

Ah, makes sense.

Not familiar with the twitter lingo, I guess

that's because he transfered to Arlington Country Day in Jacksonville, FL earlier this year

12/22/2011 1:00:52 AM

well, arlington country day is there too, haha. guess we'll know more tomorrow? i heard on the interwebs that warren and graham don't get along or something. would still like to have amile though.

I'd heard that too, but they tweet back & forth with each other. Graham congratulated Warren on choosing State.



I'd LOL if it were true. Gott with the dick move to recruit graham after Warren had already signed

12/22/2011 1:27:17 AM

i was really hoping this was gonna be about Jefferson. We need a big...we need some length. Jefferson would be a MONSTER in this offense.

However, Graham is as athletic as they come, and we need his outside shot from the guard position. If we could pull Graham AND Jefferson.....good heavens

12/22/2011 1:40:54 AM

Do we have the scholarships to get 2 more recruits? Or are we giving JV the Adam Simons preferred walkon treatment? I thought we only had 1 more scholly for 2012.

12/22/2011 1:45:37 AM

^to be honest, i'm not sure. I've heard all along though that we would take two more...as long as they were the right two. i would imagine two of Graham, Gathers or Jefferson would be the right two...However, I'm not exactly sure how it is going to play out.

12/22/2011 1:47:09 AM

I don't know the scholarship count at this point, but I can assure you that there is zero chance we take Graham if we feel good about Amile and we only have 1 scholarship to give.

I believe that is correct.

12/22/2011 2:38:26 AM

We need a defense-minded center badly. Its been forever since we've had a big time defensive presence in the middle

12/22/2011 2:44:55 AM

Do we really have to have the scholarship talk again? We have 1 spot open and it's more likely than not we'll have 2 or more after the season ends and guys decide to transfer/go pro/whatever

also that capers dude just posted in the julius randle thread on pp

[Edited on December 22, 2011 at 2:52 AM. Reason : although that would be 1) crazy and 2) not consistent with hodge talking about the '12 class]

12/22/2011 2:48:56 AM

^all he posted was that Julius and Rodney Purvis are really close friends.

12/22/2011 2:55:59 AM

12/22/2011 7:54:59 AM

pls let it be amile, we need length

12/22/2011 8:33:17 AM

what is the rumor now this morning?

12/22/2011 8:34:21 AM

nothing from Zagoria yet

12/22/2011 8:35:04 AM

there's literally 0 talk of anything related to Amile on rivals premium...usually there are at least some message board threads.

the only thing that is new to me since he decided to not declare in November, was that he just did a recent interview with Villanova where he said that he didnt have a timetable...i initially thought he was going to declare in the spring. but you all know that by now.

i'll keep checking over there

12/22/2011 9:16:11 AM

Lol if the Zagoria article is why we should be pleasantly surprised

12/22/2011 9:20:00 AM

apparently torian graham is visiting at tonight's game

sounds like he is recommitting

12/22/2011 9:28:38 AM

OK, that shit is hilarious.

12/22/2011 9:31:24 AM

^^ I'm cool with that. Now we just need to make room for Jefferson. My initial inclination would be that Raymond would be advised to seek employment elsewhere.

12/22/2011 9:37:31 AM

^Or Vandy

Someone should photoshop that fighting the construction cone monster super imposed over the Raleigh skyline.

12/22/2011 9:42:06 AM

you not well versed in twitter language or something?

Makes perfect sense to me. And no, he's not talking about uncle tom.

12/22/2011 9:42:59 AM

i'm confused at how torian graham changing his Avatar means good news for nc state...did I miss something someone else said?

[Edited on December 22, 2011 at 9:45 AM. Reason : asdf]

12/22/2011 9:44:19 AM

he could be changing his avatar to an nc state-themed one

12/22/2011 9:45:37 AM

lol...that seems like a silly reason...but i'd be down if it was true

Graham commits? Is Graham joking or not? Laughing at the end may mean its a prank?
