Looks like we got a bunch of playa h8ers.



hate hate hate hate hate.


Seriously guys, give him a break. It was his first year ever playing at the college level last year. I agree he looked lost on the court a lot and played "scared", but c'mon, give him a break. I'm sure coach lowe will help develop him into a decent back-up eventually that can get some quality minutes in and give other players a rest.

6/6/2007 5:30:34 PM

he can hit the three, which we need atm

give him experience and he'll be a solid 3 pt threat

6/6/2007 5:58:07 PM

he can hit the 3 in theory.

6/7/2007 12:47:34 AM

he hit like 5 in a row in the red/white game last year

so he can hit it

game time is another story and that comes with experience

6/7/2007 1:37:44 AM

make no mistake...

Fergie can hit it.

6/7/2007 1:40:48 AM

y'all are still operating under the mentality that when a player starts out at state, that's as good as he's ever going to get.

This is no longer the case with Lowe so there's hope for the kid yet.

6/7/2007 11:30:26 AM

no, i just think it's a different kind of wishful thinking.

it's not that everyone thinks trevor won't improve at all, i think it's just that we're hoping to continue bringing in top talent so that we'll never need to rely on him for contributing.

why is the 07 Basketball recruiting thread turning into a ferguson debate?

tracy smith is playing in france right now with a U-19 USA squad, hopefully tracy can talk jordan hamilton into the Pack.

back to RECRUITING news:

Quote :

"Traditionally, the ACC is a conference that attracts the country's elite high school basketball players. While the class of 2007 recruiting haul boasts a number of talented prospects, only three schools cracked the national top 30 team recruiting rankings. The ACC checks in as the fifth best conference for incoming talent next season. ACC rank (National rank) 1. Duke (8) 2. N.C. State (18) 3. Va. Tech (21) 4. Wake Forest 5. Florida State 6. Georgia Tech 7. Maryland 8. Boston College 9. Virginia 10. Miami 11. Clemson 12. North Carolina Three programs crack national team rankings The Duke Blue Devils continue to get it done on the recruiting trail. The ACC power inked three McDonald's All-Americans and claimed the nation's eighth best class. Leading the way is Oregon native Kyle Singler, a highly skilled player that can play multiple positions. He is joined by fellow 6-foot-7 West Coast product Taylor King, a dead-eye deep threat and tough rebounder. The backcourt is getting an athletic upgrade in Nolan Smith, a two-year veteran of the famed Oak Hill Academy. Smith is also a very good defender. Sidney Lowe didn't take long to establish himself as a proven recruiter at N.C. State. The new Wolfpack coach proved he won't hide in the shadows of Duke or North Carolina on the recruiting trail. His efforts, and NBA experience, helped lure Georgia big man J.J. Hickson to Raleigh. Hickson is the No. 10 ranked player in the country. He'll be joined by Durham product Tracy Smith, a top-50 recruit that will line up alongside Hickson down low. Point guard Javi Gonzalez and wing Johnny Thomas round out the class, which ranked 18th nationally. Traditionally, Virginia Tech makes more football top 25 recruiting class lists than the basketball team. In 2007, the Hokies got it done on the basketball trail. Virginia Tech signed a deep and talented group of players. Six prospects are headed to Blacksburg, and all should help in some role. Best of the ACC Best perimeter scorer: Taylor King, Duke Best low post scorer: J.J. Hickson, NC State Best passer: Kyle Singler, Duke Best shooter: Taylor King, Duke Best rebounder: Jeff Allen, Virginia Tech Best shot-blocker: Solomon Alabi, Florida State Best defender: Nolan Smith, Duke Most versatile: Kyle Singler, Duke Best in the clutch: Kyle Singler, Duke Best basketball IQ: Kyle Singler, Duke Best pro prospect: Kyle Singler, Duke Best interview: Gani Lawal, Georgia Tech Best speed: Jeff Teague, Wake Forest Best hands: Kyle Singler, Duke Best motor: Gani Lawal, Georgia Tech Best strength: Joshua Southern, Boston College Best leaper: James Johnson, Wake Forest Impact player: Kyle Singler, Duke Biggest sleeper: Jerai Grant, Clemson Sleeper class: Wake Forest Big man Jeff Allen comes to Virginia Tech after playing at three of the top basketball programs in the country – DeMatha Catholic, Oak Hill Academy and Hargrave Military Academy. He's ready to see immediate playing time. Dorenzo Hudson will be a threat from outside, while Terrell Bell and Darrion Pellum are quality wings. Baltimore guard Malcolm Delaney is a strong addition, and point guard Hank Thorns signed late in the period. The Hokies signed Augustus Gilchrist in the 2007 recruiting class but the big man asked for a release from his National Letter of Intent after the tragic shooting in April. Virginia Tech did not grant his release and Gilchrist will attend a prep school next year. Jerry Meyer's take: Duke brings in three players who should contribute immediately - Singler with his versatility, King with his long-range shooting and Smith with his perimeter defense. ... Sidney Lowe makes a first-year recruiting splash by landing a pair of talented forwards in five-star Hickson and four-star Smith. ... Virginia Tech came up with a sleeper point guard prospect by nabbing Hank Thorns this spring. ... Look for Wake Forest to get a lot of mileage out of its freshman class. Quintet ready for the big time Make no mistake about it, Singler has star power and should be a key part of Duke's team next season. Singler, a 6-foot-8 forward from Medford, Ore., is the most versatile player coming into college. His impact will be felt early and often. Kyle Singler should help give Duke's offense a boost next season. Hickson picked N.C. State in large part because of Lowe's NBA coaching credentials and immediate playing time. The Marietta, Ga., native could be a "one and done" player. The 6-foot-9 big man has an array of moves, and should have the ball in his hands more than most rookie post players in college basketball. His addition, mixed with last year's overachieving team, could be the key to the Wolfpack making the NCAA tournament. Florida State inked five-star center Solomon Alabi from Montverde (Fla.) Academy. The 7-footer has drastically improved over the last two years. Defensively, he'll be a force in the conference. NBA scouts already have the pivot man on their radars for next year. Georgia Tech went to work early on Atlanta native Gani Lawal and landed the 6-foot-8 forward. Lawal has a pair of hard-earned state titles at Norcross (Ga.) High School. His high motor will be on display from Day One. Duke has always had a perimeter threat, and the Blue Devils inked another one in King. The long-armed forward has deep range on his jumper, but he's also productive around the basket. His addition opens things up for Singler and the team's best athlete - Gerald Henderson. Budding rivalry The rivalry between Georgia Tech and N.C. State is fairly small, if one actually exists. However, two Atlanta area natives might change the landscape of future matchups. J.J. Hickson will again face off with an Atlanta area high school rival in college. Lawal and Hickson are familiar with each other from their high school days. They were the top two players in a loaded Georgia recruiting pool in 2007. Peach State natives were treated to a memorable pairing between the two in the state playoffs, where Lawal's Norcross team won. Each fared well against the other. It was the only time the two played against each other in their high school careers. The intensity in the game mirrored former battles between Dwight Howard and Randolph Morris. ACC fans will have the chance to see this rivalry unfold in conference play. Filling the void Wake Forest has been searching for a backcourt stability since Justin Gray and Chris Paul left campus. In 2007, Skip Prosser and his staff signed another solid 1-2 punch at the guard spots. Indiana guard Jeff Teague allows Wake to mix it up in the backcourt because of his speed, size and his ability to run the point. Few teams will have the speed to keep up with this group on the hardwood. Inside the numbers The class of 2007 five-star prospects aren't headed to the ACC. Only three Rivals.com five-star players (Singler, Hickson, Alabi) are coming to the conference. Eleven players from the four-star range inked with an ACC school, and eight three-stars are coming to the conference. Virginia signed five Rivals150 players, while Wake Forest and Duke each inked three from the national rankings. Ten of 12 teams in the conference signed a nationally ranked player. North Carolina did not sign a player in the 2007 class. "

Lol, 4 national championships eh?

Are they counting those "helms championships?"

6/13/2007 2:02:51 PM

Yeah I really want to sneak into the Dean Dome, hide out until everyone's gone and light the 1924 "National Championship" banner on fire, then hang a paper towel with 1924 Helms Foundation Champions from the rafters.

I'd do it if it wasn't illegal, but it'd be a great prank. I guess stealing it, bringing it out onto the Brickyard for everyone to piss on then returning it would be better though. They only put the banner up after Duke got their third national championship. Talk about insecurity.

w00t! I just ordered reprints of the 1974 and 1983 SI covers featuring State stopping UCLA's run and winning the championship. They're only $19.95 unframed, and $69.95 framed. I got them unframed and will stop by one of the hobby shops, probably Hobby Lobby, and frame them myself. Great pieces of memorabilia.
