just saying that the players that transferred or went pro way too early (hickson) left for whatever reason they had...but it happened under Lowe.

I realize transfers happen and one and dones happen...but we lost some important players for Lowe's tenure.

12/7/2012 9:17:16 AM

I didn't realize that Lowe lost a lot of players. Hickson and Costner? While I wish they were here now, Mays and Davis weren't a big surprise (and Mays would have already graduated anyways). Gott's lost three guys since he's been here.

12/7/2012 9:25:25 AM

4

raymond, tdt, harris, painter

12/7/2012 9:34:46 AM

4 guys.

Don't you dare forget about Jaqawn.

12/7/2012 9:35:49 AM

Oh yeah. Hopefully he'll have a good career at Middle Tennessee State. Who knows, we might see at Kentucky in a few years.

and it's actually five: Harrow



[Edited on December 7, 2012 at 9:44 AM. Reason : V I'd bet that playing time helped persuade him, maybe a little?]

12/7/2012 9:43:10 AM

Well, TDT was legitimately family health reasons #sources

12/7/2012 9:43:52 AM

Painter and one other are the only one's I remember. Who are these other guys?

12/7/2012 9:45:01 AM

They were players on the NC State Basketball team.

12/7/2012 9:45:48 AM

Really?! When?!































Full names would be more helpful spergison.

12/7/2012 9:53:17 AM

I guess when I said that I was thinking about Mays, Costner, Hickson, Josh Davis, and Harrow...forgot Harrow left when Gottfried came on...but I think he was probably out the door anyway.

It wasn't as many as I thought...oh well...I guess it just felt like we lost more.

12/7/2012 11:37:23 PM

never forget Lewandowski too!

12/7/2012 11:38:19 PM

didnt count harrow since no one was really counting simmons or brackman

12/8/2012 12:44:22 AM

wait, we're considering harrow leaving as a positive these days, right?

12/8/2012 4:00:27 AM

I'd say so. Addition by subtraction.

in terms of less PT for cat barber potentially scaring him away for 2013/2014 -yes
in terms of less PT for tyler lewis this year while he develops for NCAA competition -no

12/8/2012 12:50:17 PM

We don't make the tournament last year with Harrow on the team.

Our program as a whole was dependent on him leaving and forcing Zoloft to play PG

12/8/2012 12:57:27 PM

Team chemistry matters. I'll take a slightly less talented/experienced Tyler Lewis over Harrow 7 days a week.

12/8/2012 12:59:48 PM

Yeah harrow leaving was definitely a positive.

#1) we were significantly better the last two seasons when Zobacca ran point.

#2) The purvis commitment probably doesn't happen if we have Ryan wallow and Zorcerer in the backcourt

#3) we probably don't get Cat Scratch Beaver to commit either

#4) Quite frankly, the kid can't play.

12/8/2012 1:01:55 PM

And 5) we don't have him getting all his teammates sick with all of his random maladies. That kid is always sick.

12/8/2012 6:46:00 PM

Did anybody catch any of the Anya/Meeks match-up tonight?
Apparently Dematha lost on a 3-pointer, coming out of a time-out, with .4 secs.
FWIW, the few comments on PP claim that Anya was dominating Meeks? and that both may need to lose some weight?

End of the Dematha game was lol bad.

12/9/2012 2:08:28 AM

^^^Meeks has to lose weight definitely, that has never been a question. Anya could probably lose a few pounds and tone his body up. Both of them have some unnecesary weight that could be shed/toned. Anya is alot closer than Meeks though.

nothing huge just some talk from Julius Randle.

http://packinsider.com/2012/12/usa-today-julius-randle-cant-wait-to-visit-nc-state/

12/12/2012 10:23:22 AM

he really thinks that scumbag Calipari would let him be an assistant at UK. he is just blowing steam up randle's butt to try to win him over. no way that he means that

12/12/2012 11:36:32 AM

^It's called "salesmanship."

A comment like that is endearing as fuck. It probably won Calipari big points with Randle.

12/12/2012 11:53:35 AM

"Endearing as Fuck"? Seriously? Obviously Randle liked it, but I could see it turning some recruits off. Recruits who don't like to be blatantly lied to.

12/12/2012 12:13:36 PM

depends on his delivery. I mean, its not as blatantly douchbaggy as bringing a case full of rings to an in home visit

12/12/2012 12:18:22 PM

Sadly, the main reason I want us to get Randle is so that we can say we have a better recruiting class than UNC and Duke.

12/12/2012 12:33:54 PM

you could've said that last year.

i want randle so i can say we have a better basketball team than unc or duke.

12/12/2012 12:35:18 PM

^ you can say that this year

I'd love calipari to waste a scholarship on somebody that can't play for 4 years

12/12/2012 12:37:38 PM

(he just fractured his foot and should be back in about three months)

12/12/2012 12:40:14 PM

(I know that, Cal said even if he never played again he could be on scholarship til he graduates)

12/12/2012 12:45:55 PM

(he was just kidding with him, or lying)

12/12/2012 12:47:46 PM

(I know that too, I would just love to see him waste a scholarship on a player that can't play for 4 years)

Kinda like he's doing with Harrow amirite

12/12/2012 12:51:34 PM

you can put someone that isn't planning on playing basketball on any sort of scholarship you want, doesn't count against basketball.

Duke is gonna have a nasty class if they sign Parker. UNC might be in play for Wiggins. We'll need to land Randle just to keep pace.

12/12/2012 1:25:03 PM

PI!!! and a video of Anya vs. Meeks

12/13/2012 10:39:20 AM

That video was largely useless.

12/13/2012 10:40:11 AM

well, so was your post

12/13/2012 10:48:41 AM

so was YOUR post.

12/13/2012 10:54:32 AM

Good lord...those are some husky boys. Both of them need to lose some weight, but at least Anya doesn't look like a gigantic baby.

12/13/2012 11:01:15 AM

We all should know by now, HigHLight videos aren't great representations of how well a high school kid is going to play in college. It is what it is. If you don't like hIghLIghT videos, don't watch them.

[Edited on December 13, 2012 at 11:07 AM. Reason : and yeah, meeks is fat]

12/13/2012 11:06:45 AM

What i learned from that video... both guys can dribble around the other one for easy layups/dunks. Also Meeks is a fatass.
