Surely you'll concede that one's "coaching career" isn't limited to the years that one is a head coach.

Also I don't care enough to look, but I can only guess that you're a Herb-Lover and still hold a grudge about his firing, and that's why you're posting your garbage in this thread.

Right, but this conversation was spawned by my assertion that "playing for Gottfried is a death sentence..."

A player doesn't go to a certain school to "play" for an assistant coach. Ed O'Bannon didn't go to UCLA to play for Gott, nor would he claim Gott if you asked him who his college coach was.

Hell, if we're including all players a coach coached while a coach and as an assistant coach, Herb gets to claim he was the coach of future draft picks Billy Donovan, Jamal Mashburn, Rodney Dent, and Tony Delk

Also, Levi Watkins gets to claim he put Lorenzo Brown into the NBA

That's a pretty lame way try to support your earlier stupid point.

I think your Herb Love is polluting your position on NC State Basketball's current coaching situation.

12/10/2013 9:33:15 AM

I thought that was a widely known fact

12/10/2013 10:04:19 AM

Considering the fact that assistant coaches do a lot of the recruiting legwork, it is not a longshot to assume that kids would want to play for/be coached by assistant coaches and hence choose their school based on that

looks like we offered a 7'1 class of 2016 named Thon Maker...looks like he's straight out of Africa...very athletic from what I can tell. looks like he's a 5 star thought so we'll see.

[Edited on January 1, 2014 at 7:37 PM. Reason : adsf]

1/1/2014 7:36:46 PM

1/1/2014 7:41:57 PM

Wonder if he's done growing...

1/1/2014 7:57:51 PM

man who knows...that kid could be 7'4''+ before it's over

1/1/2014 8:30:23 PM

7'7 kevin durant

1/1/2014 8:38:36 PM

is he a "Stretch 4", or will he be used to guard the center?

1/2/2014 12:10:51 AM

Is there any reason to be optimistic we'll have a legit shot at Maker? He is a 5* and already is being targeted this early by a lot of major programs(Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, etc). Didn't know if there were any reports of him liking State or we were just hoping that the early offer would get us an early advantage with him?

1/2/2014 8:32:02 AM

I can't see us getting him unless we get some advantage like signing his best friend or getting his baby mama to attend State. He sounds like a Duke kid (awesome bball player who's parents are pushing academics).

1/2/2014 9:28:59 AM

It's all about relationship and salesmanship man. Who knows who will get their hooks in there the furthest.

1/2/2014 1:25:39 PM

Abdul-Malik Abu's team is 9-1. Here's some HigHLightS from a win this weekend where he went for 29 points, 10 rebounds.

1/15/2014 1:30:06 PM

Happy to have Abu and his toughness next year. He looks like a more athletic version of Richard Howell.

That Jalen Adams kid is pretty impressive too.

1/15/2014 2:28:28 PM

Guys like the Martin twins and Lacey will help a lot in terms of adding more shooters to the team (which we desperately need), but Abu is the one I'm most excited about. Looks like a Howell type player with the athleticism of Leslie.

1/15/2014 5:55:12 PM

Abu is a post player that can create his own offense. That is one thing that we are sorely missing in the post this year. Anya, Washington, Freeman and Vandy are not those kind of players...atleast at this point in their career for the first three.

1/15/2014 6:38:15 PM

Not many freshman post players can create their own offense.

1/23/2014 9:42:03 PM

Let's talk about our chances of signing any of these other guys or if we are actually going to offer any of them. Right now, we haven't (according to Scout).

Devonte Graham - 4* PG -
Ibrahima Diallo - 3* C - 6'10
Andre Walker - 3* C - 6'9
Che Bob - 2 * C - 6'4
Terry Harris - 2* SF - 6'6

1/24/2014 12:07:05 PM

We're only losing Vandy and maybe Warren this year, right?

How many schollies we got?

1/24/2014 12:10:40 PM

I would be shocked if Tyler Lewis stays.

why?

oops, typo - Che Bob is a SG

I'm not saying that he will transfer. It just seems like he isn't real happy and with Cat, Dez, and Trevor in the mix next year, it will be tough for him to get playing time. I like the kid so of course, I want him to stay but I just don't think he will.

Thats my one worry about this year into next is that somebody is gonna get the dumb idea that they need to transfer. We're finally developing a really good base layer of players again and we need to keep everybody so we can start building a more healthy roster structure that doesn't end up being completely upper or lower classmen.

1/24/2014 1:56:38 PM

Lacey is pretty good. He will immediately contribute at the point and he's 6'3. Tyler is 5'10 on a good day.

1/24/2014 1:57:50 PM

It was my understanding that Trevor was a "true" shooting guard, not a point guard.
