I think the confusion is that the link you posted was of just the player where phil probably saw the "latest news" storie that the site has for him which say that UNC was making a late push

The Wolfpacker is saying that Sands departure is making Ole Miss seem even more desirable for Shadrach Thornton (duh)

1/19/2012 5:04:17 PM

Thornton is supposedly cancelling the Ole Miss visit and is solid for State

1/19/2012 5:07:07 PM

Well Pack Pride is saying that it looks like Archer just got done talking with Thornton for 3 hours and it sounds like he is going to cancel his Ole Miss visit.

1/19/2012 5:07:25 PM

Well, that's awesome if true.

Interview with newly annointed 4* James Summers:

1/19/2012 5:28:57 PM

Wow, 8th ranked dual threat QB?

That's pretty good. It's not Marcus Stone good, but still impressive considering that we have had him committed for a year.

1/19/2012 6:10:01 PM

wtf, sounding like James Summers is OVing to UNC this weekend.

[Edited on January 20, 2012 at 10:05 PM. Reason : pricks]

1/20/2012 10:04:32 PM

Don't be too worried. UNC stole an EZU spread QB last week. and Summer has seemed pretty Solid. He really likes Russell and the way Russ progressed and was used at State.

1/20/2012 11:24:03 PM

Why the hell do you visit UNC if not interested?

1/21/2012 12:21:46 AM

1/21/2012 12:25:08 AM

^^For the hoes

1/21/2012 1:08:21 AM

Lets not kid ourselves, its never good when your top recruit is still taking his OV's, specifically to your rival

1/21/2012 12:11:46 PM

Have we actually established that Summers is visiting UNC? Rivals posted this article:
http://northcarolina.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1321182

and Summers is NOT listed in it.

1/21/2012 12:43:40 PM

Summers is indeed OVing UNC this weekend. Arrived late last night.

1/21/2012 1:02:50 PM

JCTarheel is on the welcoming committee

NCSU Junior Day photo from TheWolfpacker



Connor Mitch (maroon #3) is huge, but Lewis Neal (below him on one knee, blue Hunt jersey) is bigger.

Jalen McDaniel (Dark JackBritt jersey, #3) and Larenz Bryant (Vance #23) are there.

I counted 28 guys in that photo. Hopefully we can get the majority of these guys.

1/21/2012 4:16:04 PM

^ would be great.

McDaniel and Filleateau (#6 top row on the far left) would be great gets at WR. Neal is an absolute stud at DE. I imagine Mitch will be at least a 4*.

I haven't followed too much chatter with the '13 class, but it may be a little deeper than '12.

Btw, does anyone know how Junior Day works? It appears to be invite only or something along those lines.

1/21/2012 4:21:31 PM

anyone hear truth to the talk that we are going after (and/or have offered) a Broughton LB named Drew Davis who committed to Minn. back in the summer?

1/22/2012 8:28:52 PM

Yeah, we offered...he looks good on film. Losing manning threw a monkey wrench in the staffs plans.

"Overview: One of the big questions about the Wolfpack's class is what to do with four-star athlete James Summers (Greensboro, N.C./Page). Summers has played quarterback for much of his high school career, but could be moved to wide receiver and immediately give Mike Glennon an explosive target in the passing game next season. While Summers' position is a matter of discussion, there's little doubt where four-star prospect Kenderius Whitehead (Lithonia, Ga./Martin Luther King) will be. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound defensive end surprised quite a few with his commitment to the Wolfpack over Georgia. Don't be surprised if: NC State sweats over Summers until national signing day. Summers has taken a visit to North Carolina, and the Tar Heels might be more willing to give him a shot at quarterback. If Summers hears what he likes in Chapel Hill, don't be surprised to see a flip. "

1/23/2012 2:26:16 PM

we are idiots if we try to make him play WR, and we're idiots for even talking about it. He'll be as good as gone

1/23/2012 2:29:20 PM

Where is that quote even from? Seems like the author is wishful-thinkulating about us forcing him to play wide receiver and then claiming that gives UNC a shot.

1/23/2012 2:34:21 PM

SECSPN

1/23/2012 4:00:37 PM

^^Not only us forcing him to play WR...but to play him at a new position as a true freshman.

1/23/2012 4:08:14 PM

Stupid fucking article. Summers would be a dumbfuck to go to the heels over State. At NCSU you are behind a QB who is entering his final year of eligibility which will have you in a prime position to take over the job next year. At UNC you are behind a rising junior who is likely going to start the rest of his career.

Fucking media hacks...

1/23/2012 7:23:06 PM

Broughton LB switched from Minnesota to NCSU.

1/24/2012 1:09:20 PM

^nice, that didn't take long.

1/24/2012 1:16:40 PM

well, may have misspoke, apparently it's not "official" yet...

signing day is a week away, hopefully we'll hold onto summers and thornton

1/24/2012 1:21:05 PM

Yeah it sounds like he wants to notify the Minnesota coaching staff before he makes it official. I'm not worried about Thornton much at this point, Summers is another story.

1/24/2012 1:24:58 PM

here's his scout profile
http://minnesota.scout.com/a.z?s=176&p=8&c=1&nid=4899602

1/24/2012 4:29:12 PM

TheWolfpacker has a nice podcast up where they discuss all this.

Matt Carter said he's spoken with Thornton and he's solid, told him on Sunday he was cancelling his Ole Miss official.

Summers apparently grew up an NCSU fan, like hardcore and Carter said it would be a mild surprise if he switched. I guess not completely surprised because while Summers is behind Renner and Williams (don't forget about him), they are the only two scholarship QB's on the roster (they do have that other miracle QB who shot up 70 position points when he signed with UNCCHEAT).

So apparently, there's really nothing to worry about with Summers, NCSU coaches have an in-home visit this weekend with him if there are any lingering doubts he has. Also, they mentioned how they feel like the visit was more out of courtesy than anything else and if there was any feeling that James was wavering it there would be substantative rumors on the IC and unc (rivals) msg board.

1/24/2012 5:52:39 PM

It's official, TOB stole another one (and seemingly put us over the scholarship limit)

"TheWolfpacker has a nice a podcast that is unbearable to listen to"

yeah, that shit is terrible, so thanks for summarizing it. The host sounds like Larry Flynt, can't they get someone who can speak to do it?

1/24/2012 7:09:13 PM

I feel bad for Minnesota, but thankful that we found someone to come in and help fill the unexpected departure of Manning. I know I hate whenever a school poaches a player from us. I'm not ashamed when we do it, but I'm not completely comfortable with it either (unless it's a team I hate like UNC or UMD, eff them). I understand why he'd want to switch though. He's closer to his family, and he doesn't have to go to cold ass Minnesota. I do hope Minnesota can turn it around. They've obviously shown a commitment to their football program by building that brand new TCF Stadium. It's a gorgeous looking facility.

1/24/2012 7:18:59 PM

^^ now now... the guy asking questions is Ryan Tice but the guy answering them is Matt Carter and i'm pretty sure he has a speech impediment.

^ all Minnesota has to do is get the 4 and 5*talent in Minnesota and cherry pick North and South Dakota and Wyoming ==> profit.

1/24/2012 10:47:00 PM

So apparently Pete Thomas, a sophomore QB from Colorado State, is transferring here. He started every game for them the last two years.

1/26/2012 12:28:21 AM

kill yourself

1/26/2012 12:33:29 AM

lol

1/26/2012 12:40:26 AM

he did not start every game for them

1/26/2012 12:47:31 AM

I've seen Pete Thomas play a couple of times. On one hand, he seems like he was way too talented to be playing at Colorado State. On the other hand, his team lost to CU twice, and CU has been terrible over the last few years...

1/26/2012 8:40:57 AM

I remember when he was a prospect. Interesting move by the staff, we seem to have a lot of QBs on the roster. Hopefully that doesn't mean that Summers is going to UNC.

Because QBs win and lose games by themself.

1/26/2012 11:16:29 AM

I wonder if the day will ever come when people stop believing that QBs are to get all the glory for a team's wins or all the blame for a team's losses. It took a little over a century for that revelation to start gaining traction in regards to pitchers in baseball, so maybe it can happen in my lifetime

1/26/2012 11:30:37 AM

Really hope this doesn't fuck up with Summers...but a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

1/26/2012 11:33:41 AM

example 1: Cam Newton had a pro bowl season...panthers have a top 10 draft pick this coming draft.
