Rumblings on PackPride about a commitment tonight or tomorrow. Might be Bam or Smith or both.

Not only are Gott and Early getting in the chopper, they're going to High Point, they're going to Fayetteville, and then they're going to Raleigh to take back the ACC with Bam and Smith.

They'll probably be more impressed if Gottfried can hook them up with some sorostitutes.

Bam and DSJR are retweeting pretty much everything NCSU-related about us getting him.

PP thinks it'll be announced this evening or tomorrow at the latest. Multiple posters have *sources* speaking to the same sentiment.

I WANT TO BELIEVE

^^^i thought previously the "insiders" were all saying that, even though State led, those guys would probably drag their recruitment out pretty late into their senior years.

somebody on PP made a good point that players in the national spotlight like them probably aren't going to just jump on Twitter and commit just because Gott showed up in a chopper. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce a presser for Friday or something and have their family, coaches, etc. there to publicly acknowledge.

haha now PP is imploding and calling people out as trolls, saying the site has fallen to shit lately, etc. - you know, typical PP stuff.

maybe Gott should show up in a submarine next time or parachute out of the sky.

^damn the last page and a half of that thread are pretty funny. several posters posting apologies about their "sources" being wrong...other posters calling them out. very entertaining. PP is such a circus.

this dude is over here talking about creating "bad blood" on a message board. holy shit.

kinda makes me miss the basketball coaching search days.

"9. NC State Wolfpack: Losing Trevor Lacey diminished the top-20 glow the Wolfpack enjoyed after their Round of 32 upset of Villanova in March. But the appropriately monikered Cat Barber is still a difficult proposition for defenders, while a front line of Abdul-Malik Abu, BeeJay Anya and Kyle Washington has enough size to hang with the best in the ACC."


No mention of Henderson or Rowan filling Lacey's shoes.

"15. NORTH CAROLINA STATE

Outlook: Similar to the way Rich Rodriguez has revitalized his football-coaching career at Arizona after being fired at Michigan, Mark Gottfried has revitalized his basketball-coaching career at N.C. State after being fired at Alabama. He's made the NCAA Tournament four straight years and is expected to enroll a great recruiting class in time for the 2016-17 season. So the Wolfpack should be competitive with their neighbors/rivals for at least the foreseeable future."

http://packinsider.com/2015/09/14/nc-states-red-white-game-goes-outside/

Red & White game going to be played between the stadium and PNC arena before the Louisville game.

Quote :
"The NC State annual Red-White Game will be moving from coliseum’s and arena’s to the realm of the natural elements on an outdoor court. On October 3rd, prior to the NC State vs. Louisville football game, in between the PNC Arena and the Jumbotron.

“Head coach Mark Gottfried and his team will host Tailgate Tip-Off presented by Butterball on Saturday, Oct. 3. The event will take place prior to NC State’s Ag Day football game vs. Louisville. The Pack will hold an outdoor scrimmage and other fan appreciation activities in Fan Zone on the PNC Arena South Plaza between PNC Arena and Carter-Finley Stadium’s Dail Plaza North.” (GoPack)

The NC State coaching staff is trying to get every major Wolfpack prospect to attend the event. At this point, commit Dennis Smith Jr., 5-star 2016 PF Bam Adebayo, 4-star 2017 PF Xavier Tillman are expected to be in attendance. I spoke with 4-star 2017 PG Lavar Batts, and Bobby Lutz is pushing really hard for him to be there as well. Also, from what I hear, the staff is actively trying to bet 5-star 2017 SF Brian Bowen to attend. Don’t expect those to be the the only names you hear. October 3rd should be a big day for NC State fans and NC State recruiting."

sounds like a good idea but it's going to be really difficult to see. the Red/White game has a decent turnout in PNC but add to it the 60k+ fans that will already be there for the football game and I just don't know how it'll work unless you're courtside or have what I imagine to be a really limited number of bleacher passes.

great for recruiting, bad for fans - but I'll take the former.

I like that they're doing it before the game. i always hate standing in line for 45 mins to get into PNC after ive been standing the whole football game.

Just wondering. I think we're all assuming Cat's going to go pro after this year. But what if Cat has a down year this year, isn't ready to go pro and wants to come back next year? With Dennis Smith Jr coming, are we pretty much telling Cat this is your last year no matter what, or could they exist together if Cat wanted to return? Could this turn into another Russell Wilson situation, with Cat graduating early and going on to play for someone else? I assume Dennis Smith wouldn't sign with us unless he was sure it'd be his team, and if a senior Cat was there, that wouldn't necessarily be the case.

Can't really compare that unlikely scenario to RW/Glennon. There's one QB on the field at a time. Gott could easily play Cat and DSJ each 30+ minutes per game.

I seriously doubt cat is going to graduate in 3 years. Russell did it in 4. Glennon did it in 3. They both redshirted, so they could take more classes instead of working out (plus Glennon knew he wasn't playing for 2 years after that).

Doesn't matter. He's gone regardless. Even if got injured...he would just rehab and play overseas somewhere.

We're lucky Cat stayed this year. He has a kid, he'll absolutely be looking to get paid next year whether it's the NBA or overseas, doesn't really matter.

Hoping he has a huge year and gets drafted though, would look good to have our last 2 star PGs drafted before DSJr makes it 3 in a row.

Cat will certainly have a down year without all the prolific shooting to space the floor but youust not follow our program if you think he might stay 4 years.

Freeman taking over #1 this year. Alrighty...

Holy shit Corchiani is short

Shaun Kirk looks taller than I was expecting

Cody and Caleb look like they want to hold each other

very interested to see how this year plays out. Role players are gonna need to be integral parts of the team and major contributors this year. No more giving the ball to Lacey or Warren and getting out of the way.
