april fools?

He should do what he thinks he should do. I ain't gonna hate, but i am very dissapoint. I wish him luck.

Oh well, really hope we get Lee now.

4/1/2013 2:27:04 PM

Enjoy the Kevin Ollie dumpster fire

Lee will be better than him anyway

4/1/2013 2:27:21 PM

This team was like the complete and total opposite of 1983

the rumor is that he was pissed after he lost his starting role and told Randle not to come here.

4/1/2013 2:27:38 PM

I guess this is why we missed out on Randle...

Oh well

Good riddance Nervous Purvis

4/1/2013 2:27:39 PM

Told you guys that purvis was a fag. Most worthless big recruit ever.

Program is done Gottfried wont last 4 more years

4/1/2013 2:27:42 PM

Purvis sucks but his transfer is a program killer. That's some analysis there face.

4/1/2013 2:29:02 PM

PURVIS != BALLER

Man what is this kid's deal? He started like 2/3rds of the season.

4/1/2013 2:29:25 PM

he apparently committed here thinking the ucla high post offense was the upper room christian fake high school "give our 7th best player the ball and let him do what he wants" offense

4/1/2013 2:30:22 PM

He was put on a pedestal his entire prep career as being the man and expected the same treatment when he got to college...

ryan harrow effect. if he wanted to go- its good he is gone. i figured he would be the glue in the locker room though, not the cancer.

4/1/2013 2:33:43 PM

I honestly think he was delusional enough to think he could jump after one year, and ended up cratering all his classes. What an idiot.

4/1/2013 2:33:53 PM

Well we had one year to do something great and blew it just like in the P.Riv football era. Back to being middle to bottom of the ACC as gott's recruiting is gonna begin falling off as guys see we dont produce and people transfer out left and right. Why do I ever bother getting excited about NC State sports it always ends in disappointment.

4/1/2013 2:34:10 PM

Harrow transferring kind of made sense since he really did take a lot of criticism and clearly wasn't wired for that (didn't make sense transferring to Kentucky, but still)

But it seemed to me Purvis got nothing but love from everybody, including Gottfried who started him 20+ games and stuck with him way longer than he should have.

weirdest transfer ever

4/1/2013 2:35:41 PM

now we know why gottfried wanted ucla job...this sucks...how do we lose an offseason so bad and games are still going on?

4/1/2013 2:36:24 PM

This just ruined my day.

4/1/2013 2:36:30 PM

also, this is why there shouldn't be appreciation threads for a player who has yet to play a minute of college basketball

4/1/2013 2:37:02 PM

Someone on Pack Pride called him a "pre-madonna."

Jesus Christ.

4/1/2013 2:37:38 PM

if he transfers to UConn, can we blame NyM410?

[Edited on April 1, 2013 at 2:38 PM. Reason : ]

4/1/2013 2:38:08 PM

I don't think I've ever bad-mouthed a kid that transferred from State...but I think this warrants some shit talking.

What a cunt-ass move. He lost his playing time plain and simple. It's getting old with these prima-donna recruits coming and expecting to start and get a ton of PT. Fucking earn it.

I'm also not saying that this doesn't hurt...but hopefully Lee commits and this only ends up being a depth issue. We need Lee and a big man or two and we'll have a solid, tourney capable team next year.

4/1/2013 2:39:40 PM

Is this officially official yet?

4/1/2013 2:41:28 PM

We need != Pre-Madonna

4/1/2013 2:41:58 PM

Yes.

He's tweeting like it's official, but hell it's 4/1 so who knows.

4/1/2013 2:42:42 PM

Yeah, I'm refraining from shit-talking. HE should do what he feels is right, but this is weird and just seems stupid.

4/1/2013 2:42:57 PM

PURVIS == BAWLER

4/1/2013 2:43:01 PM

Wherever he goes better have a lot of good looking white girls because I swear 80% of his tweets are just retweets of white girls calling him cute haha

4/1/2013 2:43:18 PM

If that's the case, Shrike's explanation is plausible

So is this inferring that he was asked to leave?

4/1/2013 2:43:47 PM

If Vandy is tweeting this might be fake.

Then again, I refuse to believe Vandy can read.

4/1/2013 2:44:54 PM

I think we're being trolled

4/1/2013 2:46:25 PM

better find screen shots of another 8th grader dunking

ON TO THE NEXT ONE

4/1/2013 2:47:27 PM

Scenario:

Purvis leaving is fake.

So many people call him an overrated punk bitch he leaves for real.

4/1/2013 2:47:30 PM

If this is a joke, man, this kid better be ready for the worst of the internet.

4/1/2013 2:47:35 PM

yall are retarded. this isnt a joke.

4/1/2013 2:51:50 PM

Louisville will def not be an option

Yow will def squash him trying to transfer to any ACC school even if they aren't officially part of the conference yet.

Maybe Georgia St is planning a run in 2014!!!!

4/1/2013 2:51:51 PM

yeah, looks pretty fucking official. oh well. c'est la vie for State fans.

This is the anti-

4/1/2013 2:55:02 PM

He'll transfer to Wisconsin, have a great year, go to the pros, and get sucked off by TWW
