Rumblings on PackPride about a commitment tonight or tomorrow. Might be Bam or Smith or both. 9/9/2015 1:53:38 PM |

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.

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.

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. 9/9/2015 5:08:29 PM |

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." |

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." |

ncsuallday Sink the Flagship 9818 Posts user info edit post |
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. 9/14/2015 4:55:11 PM |

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. 9/22/2015 12:33:13 AM |

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. 9/22/2015 12:40:36 AM |
justinh524 Sprots Talk Mod 27791 Posts user info edit post |
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). 9/22/2015 12:52:24 AM |

even if cat has a down year, he's probably still gone. and if not, they can still play together on the court plenty 9/22/2015 7:42:01 AM |

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. 9/22/2015 8:58:01 AM |
