of course he is

calhoun loves pilfering the ACC

(yes I know calhoun isn't the coach)

The people on IC got it by stalking NCSU forums.

The Verg Pipe is going to be instrumental to our success next year.

He can't be held responsible for what he did when he was only a freshman.

For the life of me I can not remember who we were recruiting against for him but he was wise to select State.

3/30/2013 6:53:42 PM

Verve Pipe?

3/30/2013 7:39:43 PM

Rumors swirling that Harrow is unhappy at Kentucky and will be transferring to Savannah College of Art & Design so he can surround himself with other moody emo kids who don't fit in and just want to tweet their emotions to the world.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

I've looked around a bit and Josh Davis is one of the best available grad-eligible transfers that can play PF or C. Really wish he had never left.

4/1/2013 9:20:03 AM

UL doesn't join until year after next, correct?

^ yeah I was dead wrong on him

4/1/2013 9:31:00 AM

^^
Possible homecoming looms.

4/1/2013 10:51:57 AM

dude is 6'7". lol @ playing center.

Also lol @ transferring back

4/1/2013 10:53:30 AM

Richard Howell is 6'7". Why the lol? There are few "centers" in college.

4/1/2013 10:54:18 AM

^
Yep.

UNC's "small lineup" everyone was nutting over was equal to State's height in the front court.

[Edited on April 1, 2013 at 11:03 AM. Reason : post Warren starting we were a bit taller]

4/1/2013 11:01:53 AM

I hope this doesn't turn into an argument about whether we would be successful in the ACC and our tallest player on the court is 6'7"

maybe I'm being trolled

4/1/2013 11:14:44 AM

I'll pass.

4/1/2013 11:19:01 AM

I wasnt suggesting Davis could play C. We need a guy in the post that isnt a freshman or Vandenberg next year.

If we could land this year's Kazemi or Oraikhi we'd have a roster that could make the NCAAT next year.

Not a whole lot of obvious options though. USC (coaching change) has a 7 foot center who can rebound and block shots but kinda sucks otherwise and has been in trouble with the law.

St Joe's has a PF we could use. He'll probably return, though.

We'll have to see who shows up from the mid and low major teams.

4/1/2013 11:26:11 AM

We need post players who are better than Vandy...period. That's not a high bar, so hopefully we can find some people to reach it.

4/1/2013 11:29:46 AM

4/1/2013 11:32:17 AM

Didn't we briefly recruit this guy?

4/1/2013 12:10:56 PM

Josh Davis was 6'6 when he was at state, he's like 6'8 or 9 now

4/1/2013 12:35:38 PM

^^sign him up, we got the schollys

[Edited on April 1, 2013 at 12:39 PM. Reason : Actually, scratch that. I'm tired of international big men who don't know how to play in the post.]

4/1/2013 12:36:51 PM

eh, he looks like a regular big not a jump shooter



his per 40 numbers are 14/10 but he only played 10mpg this year. he got more PT at the end of the season and had some good games tho

[Edited on April 1, 2013 at 12:48 PM. Reason : zero 3 pointers attempted career]

4/1/2013 12:43:19 PM

sooo ehhh, about a starting lineup....

4/1/2013 2:34:04 PM

4/1/2013 2:36:45 PM

Who is left for next year?

- Lewis
- Turner
- Barber
- Warren
- Washington
- Anya
- Vanderberg
- Lee?

What other useful JuCos are out there looking for a new home. We've got the space for sure!

4/1/2013 2:37:18 PM

I'm gonna pull for UNC next year

I can't take this shit anymore

4/1/2013 2:50:18 PM

You know its bad when Ernie finally loses it.

4/1/2013 2:51:51 PM

Starting lineup will be:

Barber
Lewis
Turner
Washington
Vandy

We will be lucky to make the NIT. Why do I follow sports again?

4/1/2013 2:52:45 PM

Lewis, Lee, Turner, Warren, Vandy with Barber, Washington, Anya on the bench wouldn't be the worst lineup we've ever put on the floor. If team chemistry is better, they could actually produce. We'd be one of those teams that if we made the tourney as a low-ish seed, it wouldn't be a huge shock, but if we were one of the first few teams out, it wouldn't be a shock either.

This team was a dumpster fire this year. Now we're finding out how bad it really was. If we lose Warren as well, then it's back to the drawing board and we're a HUGE long shot to make the NCAA tourney. We'd have to pull off some major upsets with far less talent than we've had the past few years. Crazy how quickly things can turn around here.

4/1/2013 2:56:57 PM

If Vandy is starting next year we're dead anyway. We're playing 5-on-4.

4/1/2013 2:57:41 PM

I don't know if you follow Vandy on twitter, but he's committed to proving us all wrong and being a contributor next season. I almost got through that without laughing while I typed it.

4/1/2013 2:58:52 PM

I actually like our team more now. I mean we may struggle to make the NIT, but at least we have a bunch of guys that play hard and arent bitch made like purvis

4/1/2013 3:03:02 PM

Um Purvis played as hard as anyone.

[Edited on April 1, 2013 at 3:04 PM. Reason : Might be a bitch but he did play hard]

4/1/2013 3:03:57 PM

red jacket

4/1/2013 3:03:59 PM

The play hard comment was referring to CJL

4/1/2013 3:06:33 PM

i'm going to remember you said that when you're shitting on the team next year!

[Edited on April 1, 2013 at 3:08 PM. Reason : ]

4/1/2013 3:08:10 PM

Ah gotcha.

Id still take talent over effort but yeah, the latter certainly won't be an issue.

4/1/2013 3:08:59 PM

^^ dont hold your breath

I like the guys we have left. I just hope Anya doesnt become reggie johnson

4/1/2013 3:11:23 PM

Our program just took a much needed shit, that's all. Hopefully we got all of it out.

Next year might actually be better. Maybe a 4th finish and a 2nd round exit, only without all the expectations.

4/1/2013 3:15:40 PM

4th is a ridiculous long shot.

Duke
UNC
Syracuse
Pitt
Notre Dame
Virginia

4/1/2013 3:16:44 PM

Staats is claiming to be rejoining the team next year, too. no worries guys we will be OK

4/1/2013 3:18:05 PM

NIT is our ceiling next year w/o Purvis

4/1/2013 3:19:05 PM

Ok so top 3rd of the conference. That's kinda what I meant. Forgot about the 3 extra teams next year.

4/1/2013 3:19:37 PM

4/1/2013 3:31:03 PM

Virginia does not belong on that list. But neither do we

4/1/2013 3:31:14 PM

UVa is gonna be real good.

4/1/2013 3:39:55 PM

Low expectations = low stress levels.

We'll probably be mediocre at best next year, but at least we won't have to hear how we underachieved all year.
