Not bad to finish 2nd to a guy with 1 million career tackles.

Heard that Coach Rice pissed off a BIG-TIME Wolfpack Club member who has connections to the AD and it didn't go over so well with Debbie.

How high could TJ Graham get drafted?

12/28/2011 12:08:47 AM

I'm at the CLT airport and I've already seen 5 of our players. Some of them look exhausted and the others look like nothing happened last night at all.

I should note that I don't recognize any of them by face, they just all have the same NCSU gear with their numbers individually patched. I spoke with Donald Coleman (#10) as we were going through security, really nice guy.

There is another player waiting to get on the same plane as me, but I can't figure out who he is.

cool story brah

12/28/2011 8:25:57 AM

It is Shane O'Toole, #47

In all seriousness, he is going to fall because the Raiders have no draft picks. Even though big Al has passed, he is the prototypical Oakland WR.

12/28/2011 8:54:55 AM

O'Tooles rule!

Well, poop.

1/3/2012 12:34:27 PM

leaving a little bit early... doubt he goes in the first 3 rounds

1/3/2012 12:48:56 PM

Would his draft position increase significantly if he stayed?

1/3/2012 1:04:07 PM

no, he probably would have been switched to MLB and he would have a new position coach.

1/3/2012 1:09:31 PM

I think the real question is why does it make sense to go early in what appears to be a relatively packed draft class unless you know you're a top 3-4 round pick.

Also losing tenuta and manning is a big hit.

1/3/2012 1:12:05 PM

womp

1/3/2012 1:12:12 PM

Thanks to Manning, good luck, we'll miss you.

1/3/2012 2:01:21 PM

is manning going to graduate this may? I know he's a redshirt Junior

thanks terrell...best of luck

[Edited on January 3, 2012 at 2:11 PM. Reason : h]

1/3/2012 2:11:00 PM

damn. We need Sterling Lucas to come back for his redshirt senior season now after being injured all last year.

1/3/2012 2:15:04 PM

That really frustrates me... I mean, I'm glad he thinks he can go early but still. Manning was arguably as good this year as Irving was in his senior year. If he continued to develop he could have been beastly as a senior.

1/3/2012 2:43:49 PM

Bully for him.

1/3/2012 3:57:53 PM

manning leaving is going to really hurt the LB core next year. I wish him the best, but man he could have been a monster next year.

1/3/2012 6:06:48 PM

Tenuta to Illinois is official.

1/3/2012 6:57:07 PM

wait, wut

http://www.illinihq.com/sports/illini-sports/football/2012-01-03/tenuta-hired-defensive-coordinator.html

Tis true. Woe is me!

We are back to a Mike Archer defense without Jon Tenuta. Prepare to rule the shitter once again...

unless we move to the 4-2-5 extensively that we used with Dontae Johnson towards the end of the year, our starting LB's next year are gonna be Lucas, DJ Green and someone out of Pittman, Peek, Dowdy.....good grief

1/3/2012 7:24:50 PM

Situations like this is why TOB needs to pick it up on the recruiting trail. We lack in quality depth. (ducking for cover)

1/3/2012 7:25:56 PM

Hopefully we can pick up that 4* Charlotte LB.

1/3/2012 7:40:59 PM

^Louisville.

1/3/2012 8:14:33 PM

Hopefully we can get some crazy ass transfer like we usually do.

1/3/2012 8:31:08 PM

Anyone have a higher resolution version of that flag picture?

1/3/2012 9:23:41 PM

So i wonder if we go after a LB coach. some people are saying we shift some staff around and get a WR coach.

be nice to add a young top flight recruiter.

if they keep him after illinois declaring he was on staff...i will be happy

1/4/2012 10:50:26 AM

hell, I would love to fire Archer and promote Tenuta.

how many cred points would debbie get if she fires/demotes archer and promoted Tenuta?

1/4/2012 11:30:46 AM

we're trading archer to illinois for the rights to tenuta.

1/4/2012 11:41:21 AM

Everyone hates on archer, but i think they need one another to succeed.

1/4/2012 11:43:26 AM

Whoa, that's deep!

1/4/2012 12:08:21 PM

Assuming that rumor is true, getting Tenuta the Defensive Coordinator position here has got to be the only artillery we have left if he wouldn't take a 'lucrative' contract

1/4/2012 12:10:22 PM

This sucks for us.

But at least now TOB can see the before ... after ... and back again difference and get rid of Archer if he does not show us something next year. It's not TOB's recruiting ... its the coaching staffs recruiting ... that is keeping our depth and talent down.

Either way though, sure hope we don't take another big drop next year.

1/4/2012 12:26:04 PM

I'd love to keep Tenuta, it'd be awesome if Yow can get that done. At the same time though it'd be nice to get a better recruiter on staff, but our ST coach is currently also our recruiting coordinator - of anywhere I'd like to see a better recruiter in that position.

he stayin

Quote :

"CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - After being named to the Illinois football staff Tuesday, Jon Tenuta had a change of heart and said Wednesday that he will now remain at North Carolina State for family reasons. "From the top, I want to say that Illinois is a great program and I think the world of Tim Beckman," Tenuta said. "I've known Beck for 20 years and I have no doubt that with the staff he is putting together, he will have Illinois at the top of the Big Ten very soon. However, my family comes first and I may have made a decision without fully thinking through the situation with them. My son is a senior in high school and has signed a letter of intent to play baseball at N.C. State, and it is something I just don't want to miss. I was one of the first people to contact Beck and congratulate him on the opportunity at Illinois, and I wish him and the Illini nothing but the best." "
