I thought for sure there would be a story about it on PI... but there is not

This explains Shaq Moore leaving a little more too...

Lil' Terq sounds like he's special.

5/15/2021 12:06:57 PM

rumor has it that Braxton Beverly is decommitting from directional Kentucky State so he can come back and steal minutes from Terquavion

I think this has to be on the 21 basketball thread now since they are both on campus!!

7/20/2021 1:33:22 PM

Makur Maker not returning to Howard. Not sure if we were ever on his list, but hopefully the staff at least inquires.

7/22/2021 1:00:30 PM

He isn't eligible because he missed the NCAA withdrawal deadline. By a lot. So i hope the staff isn't wasting their time inquiring.

[Edited on July 22, 2021 at 3:52 PM. Reason : He's gonna go play pro ball somewhere, probably Australia.]

lol

7/22/2021 5:24:45 PM

Welp guess we are stuck with what we got.

Hard to get very excited about this team. We look like a bubble team much like every other Keatts squad.

"Keatts needed to land a big recruit…and he literally got one. Shawn Phillips, 2022 4-Star, committed to NC State Wednesday afternoon, bringing size to the Wolfpack lineup. After a couple offseasons of smaller Guards and mid-sized Forward additions, Phillips brings his athletic, 7' frame to Raleigh. At one point, he was as high as Top-40 in the nation, according to 247Sports."

whoop whoop! nice!

First player whose height starts with a 7 in what, 4 years?

^^i mean he's listed at 6'10 everywhere so...

The "Start playing right away" thing always scares me. Freshmen usually don't start, and for good reason

9/23/2021 2:22:06 PM

^ good freshman start all the time. Maybe not in 1968..

9/24/2021 8:25:52 PM

The thing that would scare me about that statement is that the staff must not have much faith in any of the bigs on the roster aside from Bates.

Or it’s just something you tell a recruit to win him over.

9/25/2021 7:43:22 AM

"the bigs on the roster aside from Bates" are both longshots, so that wouldn't exactly be surprising


Btw looks like that Ian Steere guy washed all the way out of college ball, or at least D1

there is also a difference in telling a recruit "if you come here you will definitely start 100%" vs "you can come here and start your first year (if you put in the work)"

9/25/2021 2:23:45 PM

^^ but I heard that Gibson had been in the weight room 24/7 this off-season and added 15 lbs of muscle. And that Ebe was in the best shape of his life and has been the last one to leave the gym every day.

9/25/2021 2:54:52 PM

That's a great point

9/25/2021 4:13:39 PM

Keatts planning to unveil all PG starting 5

10/6/2021 4:21:43 PM

Yes, just ignore the previous commitment of the big guy

10/6/2021 4:32:52 PM

^^that sight shows that Johnson, Daniels and Batts are still on the team

10/6/2021 4:43:35 PM

^^gotta have some depth behind the 5 pgs!

^are they?

[Edited on October 6, 2021 at 5:10 PM. Reason : E]

10/6/2021 5:10:19 PM

Anya is also still on the team

10/6/2021 5:22:12 PM

Based on recent history, I predict Dillingham picks State Wednesday to get our hopes up and then doesn't go to college.

11/30/2021 12:16:14 AM

Lol this kid is a '23

Gonna be the Sidney Lowe playing out the string for a recruiting class years all over again

11/30/2021 2:11:02 AM

Ah yes, we're clearly as bad off now as when the worst coach in the history of basketball was in charge.

11/30/2021 2:57:44 AM

I, for one, hope the really good recruits commits to State and wants to play at State.

12/1/2021 8:20:24 AM

I too, would like him to commit (and play) for us.

(but it will be pretty frustrating if like Josh Hall, and Jalen Lecque, he commits but never plays)

12/1/2021 10:37:45 AM

Thought I heard that he was reclassifying? Either way, I mean.. maybe somebody else cums because of him..

12/1/2021 1:52:30 PM

You mean besides a lot of weird old men on the internet?

12/1/2021 1:58:44 PM

The good player committed.

12/1/2021 2:09:39 PM

Yeah, I don't know what that gif was. Sorry.

That gif makes me uncomfortable

12/1/2021 2:24:58 PM

ESPN says he's the #2 Shooting guard, 247 says he's the #1 Point Guard

12/1/2021 2:53:29 PM

so we got the #1 PG and #2 SG in the country fucking awesome

12/1/2021 2:55:39 PM

12/1/2021 3:19:43 PM

12/1/2021 3:29:54 PM

Hopefully the NIL thing can get him to campus. IIRC, this would be the first big get for Keatts if he can actually get the kid to play for us.

12/1/2021 4:00:04 PM

12/1/2021 7:04:01 PM

Great news! Needed some recruiting momentum. Forgot about dilly dilly.

12/2/2021 12:13:56 AM

Ugh, dilly dilly was the worst
