on the bright side, now we have roster space for amile, andrew young, maybe oriakhi/graham?

4/11/2012 4:10:37 PM

BRING 'EM YOUNG ALL

4/11/2012 4:11:17 PM

You know you want it

old dominion has a bojangles on campus that serves the bronco biscuit for 5 dollar bucks


per twitter, state has offered this dude

Quote :

"Dwayne Morgan (Baltimore/Baltimore City) 2014, SF, 6-7, 180 pounds He's an exceptional athlete who is long, lean, fast and quick who scores the ball with terrific talent and natural instincts. His leaping ability is strong but what's noticeable is his hang time before he releases the ball or when he flies in for an offensive rebound or tip dunk. More than just an athlete with potential, he shows a skill level that is impressive for his grade. His comfort level out to the arc is evident as he made a shot fake to lift the defender out of position, took two dribbles and finished at the basket. Also, on the perimeter he took a pass and used the sweep-and-go move to elude his defender. When open, he is not afraid to shoot the jumper and swished many from different areas of the floor. Defensively, he will challenge shots with his length, move his feet to stop a drive and hit the defensive glass. On many plays he held himself accountable for his defensive mistake, which is a sign of maturity on the floor. However, what make him so special now are his passion and a competitiveness that puts him in an elite group. He reminds us of a cross between Rudy Gay the late Reggie Lewis. Now, the question for this budding star is will he maintain the work ethic and focus needed to reach his high ceiling?"

So Painter is gone. More PT to offer to Andrew Young to get him to sign.

Otherwise we will have to rely on TDT, Vandy, Warren and Harris as our frontcourt reserves. Not terrible, but outside of Vandy, none of those guys are particularly big or experienced.

4/11/2012 4:33:36 PM

real shame, wish him the best but between this and plumlee coming back maybe jefferson swings our way

4/11/2012 4:36:24 PM

Gottfried & staff knew this in advance...had to have.

could be why him & Coach Mox flew to CA last week to visit Young...and now Young is taking his official this weekend.

4/11/2012 4:36:28 PM

I just assumed Young was our first back-up if we can't get Amile.

4/11/2012 4:38:57 PM

We are going after both.

Its no coincidence that these transfers were announced on spring signing day. Raymond and Painter were both on the way out, but I'm assuming Gottfried accelerated the announcements in order to free up scholarships.

[Edited on April 11, 2012 at 4:44 PM. Reason : #]

4/11/2012 4:43:32 PM

Yes this pretty much sets up Amile and Andrew.

4/11/2012 4:46:29 PM

Hate to see Deshawn go...great kid apparently...he'll be missed. I just saw this too:

Exactly

so now we can offer Amile as well as andrew and have this young kid as an extra big body on the table as well.

I figured we'd take an extra as it was.

Sucks losing painter, he was really developing under Gottfried and was a smart kid in the classroom

Id LOVE to get Noel, I just dont know if it will happen^

4/11/2012 4:50:35 PM

Bring on the foreigners.

4/11/2012 4:51:17 PM

That would take a lot more capitol than we are will to part with.

4/11/2012 4:51:41 PM

Somebody tell me about this Andrew Young guy. All I can tell from the video is that he's white and dunks a lot.

4/11/2012 4:53:29 PM

question: Does't Painters transfer affect our APR rating significantly? I know there's less room to work with since they upped the standard either this season or last.

4/11/2012 4:53:55 PM

nerlens misses his brother and wants to come to nc state!!!!1

4/11/2012 4:54:06 PM

I'd rather us be ranked somewhere in the 10-15 range anyhow.

4/11/2012 5:04:16 PM

Sucks to lose painter. At least Jefferson knows there's more time available for him.

I think it depends on his academic standing when he leaves, or something.

4/11/2012 5:07:29 PM

To me, Painter will always be the first one to hug Gottfried after his first NCAA selection at NC State. We will def. miss him.

4/11/2012 5:22:52 PM

So it is just after Easter. Will we have the resurrection of NC State Shit?

[Edited on April 11, 2012 at 5:29 PM. Reason : ]

Kentucky is going after him.

That's really all you need to know about his talent level.

why the fuck do they need to recruit so many fucking players

4/11/2012 6:21:39 PM

wtf is this about Tyler Harris now

4/11/2012 6:23:05 PM

haven't heard anything about him leaving

4/11/2012 6:25:31 PM

Joe Giglio ? @jpgiglio

Wolfpack also waiting for word on freshman forward Tyler Harris, who might transfer



[Edited on April 11, 2012 at 6:27 PM. Reason : asdf]

4/11/2012 6:26:43 PM

4/11/2012 6:28:11 PM

are you guys fucking around?

4/11/2012 6:28:26 PM

its rumored...doesnt mean it will happen.

Harris never had any real playing time anyways.

we still have the CORE and the newbies we want coming in.

4/11/2012 6:29:28 PM

Harris would be a bit of a loss. He actually got some PT last year and showed a little potential to be a solid contributor. I never really saw that potential with Raymond. Harris was already a decent defender and fairly scrappy. Just needed to develop some confidence on the offensive end.

4/11/2012 6:32:30 PM

the reemergence of NC STATE SHIT is upon us...

4/11/2012 6:34:21 PM

seriously, I hope they know something we don't

just like JC's resurrection, NC State Shit ain't real.

4/11/2012 6:43:29 PM

4/11/2012 6:44:02 PM

Are all these guys transferring because they know something we don't? Like how we're going to start pulling 4 and 5-stars again and they aren't gonna get PT?

I sure hope so.

4/11/2012 6:51:28 PM

that scenario would defeat the NC STATE SHIT Theory

however, we are never that lucky

4/11/2012 6:53:59 PM

Do you really believe that nc state athletics are cursed and "NC State Shit" is a unique phenomenon?

4/11/2012 6:55:58 PM

Do I believe we are cursed? No.

Do I believe that we have had an inordinate amount of bad luck that could be comically classified as NC STATE SHIT? Yes.
