Getting that in-state talent:

2014 - Cody Martin - Mocksville, NC
2014 - Caleb Martin - Mocksville, NC
2012 - Tyler Lewis - Winston Salem, NC (and later VA)
2012 - Rodney Purvis - Raleigh, NC
2012 - TJ Warren - Durham, NC (and later NH)
2010 - CJ Leslie - Holly Springs/Raleigh NC

Yeah but we've landed great international talent like lewandowski, Vandy, tdt, and evtimov (realize he played two years in us too)

10/11/2012 5:42:28 PM

And atsur

10/11/2012 5:51:42 PM

Atsur was the heart of the team his senior year. dude was solid. Sid never really found anyone that could run the court like him. if he didn't get hurt we could have probably made the NCAA. had a solid NIT run.

10/11/2012 6:30:40 PM

Evtimov was legit too. Trollolopogus up in here.

10/11/2012 6:45:32 PM

haha, do you think Cody Martin will ever take over the #1 spot on google for his name against this guy?



That must suck to have the same name as a Disney kid. I guess it's like being name Micheal Bolton.

10/11/2012 7:58:16 PM

Why should I have to change my name? He's the one that sucks!

"Davie's Martin twins commit to N.C. State By: Mason Linker | Winston-Salem Journal Published: October 11, 2012 The N.C. State's men's basketball program received the best package deal available from the high-school class of 2014 when junior twins Caleb and Cody Martin of Davie County committed to play for Coach Mark Gottfried. The 6-7 brothers — who helped Davie reach the NCHSAA 4-A Western Regional Tournament for the first time in March — announced their decisions Wednesday night. "When we went down there for team camp, we had just taken a visit to (North) Carolina," Caleb Martin said Thursday. "It just felt different. I felt more comfortable at N.C. State. I liked the coaches there, and we feel comfortable with the players there." The twins recently had secured scholarship offers from Tennessee and also had offers from Wake Forest, Virginia Tech and Virginia Commonwealth, according to Coach Mike Absher of Davie. Absher also said that North Carolina had recently started recruiting the two. Absher said that last week, coaches from Louisville and Georgetown were in Mocksville to watch the brothers work out and that he was also in contact with the staff at Indiana. The brothers look nearly identical, and their games are also hard to tell apart. Caleb is ranked No. 34, and Cody is No. 35 in ESPN's top-60 rankings for the Class of 2014. Both can play shooting guard or small forward, and they'll bring versatility to the Wolfpack. Caleb Martin missed 14 games last season with a broken bone in a foot and wound up averaging 18.2 points. Cody averaged 14.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 5.3 assists. "That's was the thing that made this recruiting process different," Absher said. "They had remained strong about wanting to go together. In some cases that eliminated some schools. Schools were honest about it and couldn't recruit them because they play the same position, or lack of scholarships or whatever. They held with it until they made their decision. "They haven't taken an official visit (to N.C. State), but they have been multiple times on unofficial visits. They have been there enough to get a feel for the whole place." Caleb Martin said that he and his brother were sure they wanted to attend a school close to home and that N.C. State's resurgence under Gottfried had their attention. "When you look at the classes coming in, they have some of the best players in the country," Caleb said. "They have seven in the top-100 that they've signed, and the classes they have coming in, you can tell they will be one of the best teams. "It feels good, so now we can just focus on our school and focus on getting stronger and better and things we need to improve on instead of the recruiting and all the other stuff." The Martins can sign binding national letters-of-intent during the early signing period in November 2013."

As someone who lives about 15 minutes from Davie, I'm gonna go to some Davie games and cheer my ass off for the twins.

Nice little run of players from this area -- first Tyler Lewis now these guys. Cliff Crawford went to Parkland back in the day too.

Let's review....

-Gottfried gets fired from bama for sleeping with one of his players gf's.
-Not to mention Gottfried using a state basketball/dance team event to gain access to dance team members sending out what was described as “creepy” text messages about hanging out for New Year’s Eve……
-Gottfried brought in Jim Harrick to do the same for state that state fans are "trying to kill UNC” for:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/colleg...

Harrick’s player exam here:

http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/quiz/_/id/600

-1 credit hour athlete class now taught at state via former students now “working” for the athletic department…..average grade 3.5.

-CJ Leslie gets into a wreak in his step brothers 2007 dodge charger registered in Duluth, GA...

http://crash.raleighpd.org/files/201105/20110526-1...

-Leslie is then busted for "barrowing” Eric Leaks (former state player and booster) car and providing money for Leslie's step brothers rent....

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_...

-Leslie has since been seen driving around Raleigh in a black escalade following his "decision" to return to state this season...and other reports of his grandmother purchasing 2 brand new cars in the same year, including another Dodge Charger....odd!?

-Leak then gets a "disassociation letter" from state as a result for providing benefits to Leslie and Tracey smith (We have yet to hear any details on this one.)

-Afterwards Leak is mentioned again along with Al Weber (former state player) and Damon McNair of http://atlanticsportsandmarketing.com/?page_id=38 as a possible "runner"-conducting hotel agent meetings in an Atlanta hotel for state football player David Amerson

http://www.sportsagentblog.com/2012/09/20/could-a-...

-Amerson post this via twitter a few months back....

http://instagram.com/p/NUxtz7t_Eb/

-Al Weber confirms guilt of contacting agents for players....

http://www.sportsagentblog.com/2012/09/26/david-am...

and capping this all off with Rodney Purvis only completing HALF of the required credits needed for NCAA eligibility and his former high school (ran by a former state football player and coached by a former state basketball player) being shut down as soon as he was cleared to play at state…..Purvis & URCA confirming on twitter…..

http://blogs.fayobserver.com/accbasketball/October-2012/Upper-Room,-the-alma-mater-of-Rodney-Purvis,-becom

Lo Brown then implies “guilt” ..…that Purvis should not be eligible with this quote at state’s media day….

"I told him to stay positive and it's going to work out towards the end because everyone is behind you," Brown said. "Plus, with the whole UNC thing, “if they got off, how could he not?” You know what I mean?"

-Lo then mentions an offhand comment about Purvis getting the good news from Gottfried, who called him from a “burner”(term for a pre-paid cell phone generally used for illegal activities and is disposable and untraceable)……Purvis later confirmed that he received the call from a private number and almost didn’t answer it….

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Burner%20phone

-Gottfried gets a commitment from a “Cat Burglar”….who is “rumored” to have stolen a cell phone on a recent recruiting visit to UL Cardinal land…..

http://zagsblog.com/articles/cat-barber-to-n-c-sta...

-And now the twins, who are thought to be great kids…...

But, that doesn’t mean that the smell coming from Raleigh is any less foul.

less

10/12/2012 4:29:55 AM

At least we didn't have a staff member hooking up with Leslie's mom and getting her a job with the school and stealing state funds to send her to see her children play in basketball games.

UNC fans trying to talk shit or spread rumors about any other school is quite laughable.

Rumor on packpride that Theo Pinson committed to UK.

This is contradictory to most beliefs as people had it between NCSU and Duke, and he hasn't visited UK to anyone's knowledge (or even been offered by them officially)

There were some strong vibes over the last week that we would get both Woodson and Pinson, so this would change things. He is a 2014, so plenty of time left, but it would suck to miss out on a NC talent that was seemingly very interested in the wolfpack.

10/16/2012 10:43:24 AM

Strange since he's suppose to be visiting Duke this coming weekend.

10/16/2012 12:14:47 PM

Pinson, judging from his highlight videos, looks absolutely sick.

I really hope he comes to NC State, but if he doesn't, I really don't want us to have to play against him. I'd rather he goes to Kentucky than Duke.

10/16/2012 12:20:45 PM

^^yeah, very strange.

The thread on packpride is now locked, but with no explanation

10/16/2012 12:51:23 PM

Pinson is not committed to Kentucky.

From Rivals' basketball recruiting mailbag:

Quote :

"Why would Baylor bring in Dominic Woodson and Yanick Moreira on the same weekend? -- @Hoopmanx (via Twitter) Sometimes schools prefer to bring in major targets alone, or at least at a time when there isn't somebody they might be competing with for a spot. Others like to get them together on visit, dangle the spot out in front of the prospects and hopefully create a little competition for the spot. Either way, what is clear is that the Bears would like to land either four-star prospect. A native of Louisville who spent some time in Texas before settling in at Huntington (W.V.) Prep, Woodson is the No. 37 player in the class of 2013 and a big space eating interior player with soft touch. A four-star junior college player from Levelland (Texas) South Plains, Moreira is a more lean, lengthy and athletic big guy. N.C. State and Oklahoma appear to be the primary competition for Woodson while SMU and Texas A&M are among the many others chasing Moreira."

Going to be hard to get Anya over Indiana.

10/21/2012 2:19:15 PM

According to Rivals, Dominic Woodson is down to us and Baylor and should decide "any day now"

10/22/2012 5:14:17 PM

BeeJay Anya is visiting NC State this weekend.

Sounds like Anya's specialty is shot-blocking / defense, while Woodson is a good shooter and rebounder. I'd rather have Anya just because Gottfried has already brought in several guys who are known for their offensive prowess. We all know that Purvis, Warren and Barber are gonna be scorers. An unselfish, premiere shot-blocker in the paint would really round out the team because there are only so many shots to go around.

10/22/2012 6:42:51 PM

I'll be thrilled with either

10/22/2012 6:49:53 PM

yeah, if i had a choice, i'd pick anya too

but i really just want one of woodson, anya or meeks

10/22/2012 6:53:46 PM

Defensive/Rebounding types are typically safer too as long as they aren't poor athletes...

The scoring types there is more uncertainty for a big man if it will translate to the next level.

Either would be great, but I agree we could use a defensive stalwart to pair with an obviously offensive minded TJ Warren frontcourt pairing (I think he'll see some minutes at the 4 when we go small since we have so many wings incoming).



Anytime you're recruiting against Baylor you know there's an ATM nearby and there's ground to be nervous.

We need to close our eyes, hold our nose, and think like Buddha said
