The Big Lew isnt listed FYI

8/14/2007 1:55:30 PM

Oh we back.

8/14/2007 1:55:51 PM

We may not lose a game in 08-09

8/14/2007 1:58:37 PM

Been checking every few days. Did this just get put on gopack this week? Makes me anxious for the R/W game.

He is no longer with the program. He will never play organized basketball again.

8/14/2007 2:01:06 PM

gunzz, i expect more of you than to give a over such old news.

8/14/2007 2:22:46 PM

i didnt know that he wouldnt be on the roster at all

8/14/2007 3:14:25 PM

Hickson will regret this come march

8/14/2007 3:28:46 PM

nope, and neither will marques johnson.

bam!

8/14/2007 7:27:30 PM

pretty amazing to look at last year's roster then advance it to this one side by side

to see all the new players and for Sid to not have to have so many walk-ons... so hard not to be excited right now

8/14/2007 7:36:05 PM

Shouldn't Marques Johnson be a redshirt freshman?

And although I never really had doubts, it is comforting to see Tracy Smith on there.

shit, +1 here.

8/14/2007 10:15:59 PM

looks like we lost some pg depth with the absence of braxton

JJ Hickson with the #1 NC State jersey...

I have a strong feeling that the stock of that jersey will shoot through the roof by 2009. Just a hunch...lol

8/15/2007 7:37:11 AM

I have a feeling that he wont be here, come 2009

8/15/2007 8:05:11 AM

time will tell

maybe he will stay just below the radar
but probably not if he plays anything like he did in several of the games i watched him play in

8/15/2007 8:25:10 AM

i don't know. i have a feeling there won't be any one and dones. maybe after his second year.

8/15/2007 8:27:38 AM

No unless we really contend this year or he is just flat out unstopable then I don't think any one and dones. J.J will be here till the end of his junior year I will bet.

8/15/2007 9:01:18 AM

the staff fully expects him to be done after 1..and i believe we are recruiting that way.

of course there could always be a Brandon Costner type situation...but I wouldn't want to see that for anyone.

8/15/2007 10:05:19 AM

The rest of the ACC is going to be in for a MASSIVE shock on game days....that roster is sweet! NCSU should of gone after that point guard from Greenville, NC "Brad Spain" from D.H. Conley High School, he plays like a black Engin Atsur!


But if our three PG dont work out im sure Sidney will take care of it GO PACK!

i'll take that bet.

8/15/2007 12:58:19 PM

if you've seen the kid play at the PG/SG spot, you def. wouldnt be laughing. He averaged 13 pts, 12 assists and 10 rebounds for the 'entire season'....and in their 4A conference, he only led them to the regular season title, helped them get into overtime in the conf. championship game, and was the leading scorer in their State play-off game...the kid definitely has skills!

8/15/2007 1:02:32 PM

YEAH AND I'M SURE NOBODY ON THE CURRENT ROSTER IS AS GOOD AS HIM

he would be riding the bench behind our walkon

"RALEIGH - N.C. State's improbable run of knee injuries continues. NCSU announced Monday that Johnny Thomas, a freshman basketball player, would sit out the 2007-2008 season. Thomas, a 6-foot-5 swing player who starred at Greensboro Day School, underwent diagnostic arthroscopic knee surgery last week and will have additional surgery at a later date. The Pack's football team has lost three starters to knee injuries since late July: tight end Anthony Hill, tailback Toney Baker and defensive tackle DeMario Pressley. Hill and Baker are out for the season; Pressley had arthroscopic surgery Sunday and is out two to three weeks. Greensboro Day coach Freddy Johnson said Thomas called him last week to say he had been injured in a pick-up basketball game. "He's being very positive about it," Johnson said. "He told me, 'I look as it an opportunity to get an extra year of academics and a chance to become a better basketball player.' That's the kind of kid he is. "He'll go at it hard in rehab. In 12 weeks, he may be able to practice." Johnson said that surgery revealed that Thomas had an osteochondral defect in his knee that affects the blood circulation around the knee and often leads to cartilage problems. "My son had the same condition," Johnson said. "Johnny will be fine in time." Thomas averaged 19.8 points and 9.8 rebounds a game as a senior for Greensboro Day, which was 31-2 last season. He joined an outstanding recruiting class at NCSU that includes J.J. Hickson, Tracy Smith and Javi Gonzalez. "It's a tough break for Johnny and really a tough break for our team," NCSU coach Sidney Lowe said in a statement. "We were confident that Johnny was going to contribute this season. He will still be involved in everything we do as he goes though his rehab, and hopefully all goes well and he will be ready to go next season." "

It's all the damn bricks around campus. Having to walk on uneven ground all day is a killer.

My knees are starting to feel a little sore too...
