Word. I heard this guy's handlers were a nightmare and most are backing away. Doesn't have the rosiest record either.

7/15/2015 6:00:22 AM

Yeah he no longer had an offer, thus no reason to visit.

Also why we're targeting more PF/C players for '16 than just Bam.

7/15/2015 8:05:38 AM

Dennis Smith Jr now has an offer from Kentucky. Kinda surprised he didn't already have an offer from them.

We were gonna have to beat out the big dogs for the #1 PG anyways, so I'm not sure this really changes anything.

7/15/2015 8:18:55 AM

The way Duke is recruiting, I'd be more scared of them than Kentucky.

7/15/2015 9:47:35 AM

Dennis Smith Jr cuts list to KY, Louisville, Wake, Duke, UNC, State. Including Wake on the list makes me think staying close to home is somewhat important to him. So that would seem to bode well for us. I don't think this list is really all that surprising to anybody though

7/17/2015 10:22:30 AM

pay the man!

7/17/2015 11:31:32 AM

I just wish that, for once, we could get a recruit that didn't toy with us until the very last minute. Especially by when they list all of our rivals as well.

7/17/2015 12:47:43 PM

The way Duke is rolling I am scared about Smith.

7/17/2015 9:43:16 PM

Odds are we get none of these guys

SBN thinks we can land em both, so we've got that going for us

7/23/2015 2:34:53 PM

Everybody thinks we're going to land them both.

It sounds like they've given Gott the thumbs up but just want to get wined and dined on other teams' official visits.

Icing on the cake is that none of those guys are predicted to go to UNC. Fuck you Carolina.

Where are y'all seeing the stuff about Rowan?

That would be huge for next year in helping to make up for the loss of Lacey. Would give us athletic wings (Martins, Kirk), a pure shooter (Rowan) and an upperclassman who can shoot/drive/etc. in Henderson.

7/23/2015 3:11:26 PM

Rumor is he is leaning our way. Rumor he will decide this week or next.

Nice, hopefully he sees #StJones for the dumpster fire it likely will be

7/23/2015 5:40:34 PM

With that being said, how many hours til UK offers him

Quote :

"NC State appears to be leading in the race for the services of five-star point guard Dennis Smith, Jr. and five-star power forward Bam Adebayo. If the Wolfpack could land this combo featuring a point guard who might well be the best floor leader in his class and a big man whose stock is now climbing into top-10 territory, it could change the makeup of the ACC come the fall of 2016. Though they live two hours apart from each other, both North Carolina natives (Adebayo from Pinetown and Smith Jr. from Godwin, just north of Fayetteville), the two have been friends played on and off together for the past half-decade. This relationship and potential continued pairing seems a genuine possibility -- and a really fun one. The tandem is a terrific watch and the type of twosome that will completely invigorate a fan base."

Quote :

"Smith Jr. got his NC State scholarship offer when he was 15. And now both are considered likely to stay in their home state for college. ("I would be shocked if he left the state of North Carolina. Shocked," one coach told me re: Smith Jr.)"

Quote :

"As for why NC State is the favorite at this point, the program's interest in both players came from Mark Gottfried and his staff just as they were taking the controls from former State coach Sidney Lowe. That's how far back this courtship dates. But there have been strong battles in the past two years, with Wake Forest and UNC making charges (UNC is still considered a viable player for Adebayo at this point), Duke still lingering, and now just in the past month Kentucky has come on heavy, which is always a factor."

not much concrete news in that article - but just continues to back up the idea that we are in really shape with DSJR and Bam

7/24/2015 3:38:08 PM

Which has been known...its the OTHER people we will add to the class that makes it one of the best in Gott's tenure.

Unless rowan pulls a Jefferson, we should be at the top of the list.

7/24/2015 8:23:00 PM

It wouldn't be one of the best of Gotts's tenure...it would be THE best of his tenure and one of the best in NC State history.

7/24/2015 10:41:39 PM

this is prepping for some massive disappointment

7/25/2015 2:09:04 PM

I just keep hoping Duke doesn't slide in at the end and steal them, like Amile.

7/26/2015 12:43:52 AM

Zero% chance they go anywhere other than State. Fortunately we are finally going to break the NC State shit curse. Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer.


The roster for '16-'17 will be fucking stacked...our best team on paper ever?

Smith/Dorn
Henderson/The Mav???
Martin14/Martin15/Kirk
Abu/Freeman
Anya/Bam

I'm pretty sure at least one of those will end up going pro (Anya/Abu???) or transfer.

7/26/2015 10:19:51 AM

^I don't think you can say our best team on paper ever without the 1973 and 1974 teams being the next words out of your mouth.

Also, we've been bitten too many times in the past decade with having a decent returning crew of juniors/seniors and them not meshing well with incoming burger boys. I'll be cautiously optimistic but won't be one of the ones expecting great things just because we signed two top 10 guys(if this even comes to pass)

BOAST BOAST BOAST

7/26/2015 12:42:21 PM

Bam and Dennis Smith are playing on ESPN U at 4 today

7/26/2015 3:26:04 PM

Forgot about that priceless Gavin Grant gem.

7/27/2015 10:19:18 AM

and then we lost to New Orleans

7/27/2015 10:25:46 AM

and ecu

7/27/2015 11:25:27 AM

Well, we were hopeful after that, because we still had two losses to give.

Unfortunately he was wrong and we went 15-16 on the season.

7/27/2015 11:32:22 AM

I don't see us (NCSU) losing more than 2 games next year.

-dennis smith jr

7/27/2015 8:45:50 PM

It would be the ACC Championship game to Duke and the National title game to UNC

7/27/2015 9:02:31 PM

Or the NCAA championship to UNC and then our next game which is 2 years later because the program got the death penalty after it was learned that Gott has been paying players (and fucking thier moms) all along

7/27/2015 9:26:58 PM

Their moms? That's way too old for Gott.

7/27/2015 9:33:57 PM

Gott is screwing Corchiani Jr's mom
