^^ I just can't see us landing Gurley at this point, he sounds like he's just a UNC fan. The firing and the impending sanctions seem to have made no sway in him, he's still got them as leaders.

8/6/2011 1:35:51 AM

This is big time. He looks like he has some serious quickness in his videos.

I don't wanna downplay a recruit or anything. But just remember that he is playing 2A HS football in eastern NC.

8/6/2011 1:39:59 PM

haha, I love high school highlight videos. Everything looks ridiculous.

TA McLendon played 1A football, and was one of the best freshman running backs I have ever seen.

8/6/2011 2:01:50 PM

^^^remember that these kids play against the best in camps and combines, etc. so he's been evaulated against better talent often.



anyone have a video of his PC that's not from member section of rivals or scout?

[Edited on August 6, 2011 at 9:25 PM. Reason : sdf]

8/6/2011 9:24:49 PM

regardless of talent level, his quickness off the line cannot be denied. yeah, he blew through O-lines of suspect talent, but the speed he has to break through is impressive.

he also set about 100 records, is this guy setting records?

this is a dumb argument, kid had offers from Auburn, Arkansas and VT among others...he's plenty good.

^^ Remember that as a representative of the school

Quote :

"You may NOT: Make in-person recruiting contacts with a prospect or his or her parents or legal guardians. Write or telephone a prospect or his or her parents or legal guardians. Contact a coach, principal, or counselor to evaluate a prospect. Visit a prospect's school to pick up a transcript or video to evaluate the prospect's academic or athletic ability. "

Quote :

"You are a representative of athletics interests if you: Are or have been a member of the Wolfpack Club. Have made a donation to any of NC State's athletic programs. Currently employ or have previously provided or helped arrange employment for enrolled student-athletes. Are the parent or legal guardian of an enrolled student-athlete. Once someone obtains the status of "representative of athletics interest," they keep that distinction for life."

Hegedus and Stocker (and maybe others) gained a star!!!

I wanna say Doyle formerly had 2 stars, fwiw, and has 3 now also

8/8/2011 10:12:31 AM

I like how Hegedus is the #160 WR in the country and yet has 3 stars.

8/8/2011 1:26:08 PM

Can anyone provide the text from this article??

Crump had a pretty good showing on Friday catching touchdown passes of 20 and 18 yards, blocked a punt and returned it 62 yards for a touchdown, and ran 13 yards for another score.

I think most schools are looking at him @ LB .... sitting 6-2, 215ish?

Don't know if the kid has his head on straight.... might be a good candidate for the Hargrave route?

Commit James Summers leads Page 41-7 past 4-A 2010 State Runner-up Davie County HS on Friday night. Summers rushed for 248 yards and two touchdowns, and threw two TD-passes, from 10 and 12 yards away.

8/22/2011 10:35:38 AM

I'm sure most of you have looked at this already but I just too my first look at our 2012 recruits.

Suffice to say that I'm very happy with what I saw. According to ESPN:

#
79
James Summers, ATH

* POS Rank ATH #41
* HT 6'1''
* WT 192 lbs.
* HS Page High School, NC

#
77

* WT 310 lbs.
* HS Boiling Springs High School, SC

#
77
Xavier Griffin, WR

* POS Rank WR #88
* HT 6'2''
* WT 178 lbs.
* HS Newark High School, DE

#
77
K'Hadree Hooker, DT

* POS Rank DT #61
* HT 6'2''
* WT 270 lbs.
* HS South Lenior High School, NC

#
77
A.J. Doyle, QB

* POS Rank QB #52
* HT 6'2''
* WT 226 lbs.
* HS Catholic Memorial High School, MA

#
76
Joe Wright, DE

* POS Rank DE #122

#
74

* HS Lassiter High School, GA
#
73
Charlie Hegedus, WR

* HT 6'1''
* WT 190 lbs.
* HS Lassiter High School, GA



Also, according to ESPN, the number 1 RB in the 2012 class is from Raleigh, NC and is listed as having a Medium interest in State. Here's hoping he really loves mommy and daddy and wants to stay near home.

9/4/2011 9:36:56 PM

So you are just now hearing about Keith Marshall?

Get the fuck out of here with your sarcasm and bullshit then. Shameful.

9/4/2011 10:08:14 PM

Uh, okay? I fail to see what's wrong with posting a consolidated list of our verbal commits? I was paying more attention to this season rather than next season, since recruits and commitments can come and go at any time.

But okay, cool, didn't realize I was such a horrible fan for not knowing about him six months ago!

9/4/2011 11:09:59 PM

Keith Marshall tweeted "people need to stop hating on Coach Richt!!!"

Cheer for South Carolina this weekend to help your chances.

NC State has zero shot with Marshall. We should cheer for Georgia so he goes there instead of to UNC.

9/6/2011 3:15:43 PM

^ Exactly. Shadrach Thronton should be the name we are talking about concerning the RB position.

Maybe his spurning of the bearcats will crush their spirit this weekend.

9/20/2011 8:49:09 PM

Haha, I enjoyed the timing of his commitment. A Cincinnati boy choosing the visiting team over the hometown school during the week of the game.

Maybe being crappy will help recruiting on defense. All the good high school seniors could immediately come in and start if they wanted because of how god awful terrible we are on defense. I can dream right

9/23/2011 9:02:55 AM

^ this was Mack Brown's formula. he started out 2-20 at UNC, then started hauling in Julius Pepper's left and right.

9/23/2011 9:59:10 AM

Anyone else see the humor in the top PackPride football recruiting story right now? Apparently we offered Wakefield High QB Connor Mitch. The picture of him in action is what made me chuckle and sigh. I didn't know Wakefield's helmets mimicked Wisconcin's...
