well this young man seems to be incredibly stable

"Packing a punch There is a lot of talk that Torian Graham is on the verge of committing to N.C. State. Do you think that will happen and where would that put North Carolina State's class in the rankings? - Dev from Ashville Graham, the No. 51 prospect in the Rivals150, did indeed recommit to North Carolina State earlier today. The North Carolina State 2012 recruiting class under new head coach Mark Gottfried now consists of Rodney Purvis (No. 6), T.J. Warren (No. 23), Tayler Lewis (No. 55) and Graham. Graham, Purvis and Warren are all outstanding scorers, and they come into N.C. State with a point guard who has a sublime feel for the game and outstanding court vision in Lewis. The addition of Graham to the class puts N.C. State's recruiting class in a virtual tie with Arizona for the No. 1 spot. Rivals.com hasn't made an official decision on which of these teams should have the top spot in the rankings, but at the moment I have to say I'm leaning toward North Carolina State. Lewis can be such a difference maker at the point guard position and then Purvis and Warren are elite scorers. Graham might not be an elite scorer, but he is certainly a high level scorer and a high level athlete. "

^^ I'd say it's newsworthy if a kid who commits to a school in the morning tells a reporter that afternoon that he might not.

this is exactly why I don't follow recruiting/shit myself with every nugget of recruiting news

12/22/2011 2:05:49 PM

alright, if this is true, if this is true, i'm tempted to say "fuck this guy". i know it's harsh, but wtf?

12/22/2011 2:06:08 PM

lol @ everything

12/22/2011 2:07:05 PM

it's ok guys, he found out amile jefferson was coming here

12/22/2011 2:07:28 PM

12/22/2011 2:07:30 PM

wow, this is absurdly funny

12/22/2011 2:08:05 PM

12/22/2011 2:09:05 PM

makes you wonder if Gottfried's staff is holding the scholly for someone else...i dunno, so weird

12/22/2011 2:09:08 PM

We should keep our composure and not hate on the kid. We should say things like, "I just wish him the best, regardless of what he does"

12/22/2011 2:09:45 PM

I wouldn't be mad at him for not coming here, but double decommitting is pretty ridiculous

I say we prematurely jump to conclusions and switch our love of Graham on the last few pages to all out, unadulterated hate within 30 minutes.

"didn't want him anyway!"

RT @PackPride: "Something came up... I don't really want to talk about it," said Graham. "But, no sir, I'm not committed anymore."

12/22/2011 2:13:57 PM

time to move on

12/22/2011 2:14:28 PM

The staff needs to make a public statement about us pulling our interest from Graham. It's distasteful and shameful, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

12/22/2011 2:14:33 PM

I hope things work out ... sounds like its probably not in his control at this point.

That would suck ...

even if decommits, whatever, good luck to the kid. but if, if, if this true, then he certainly needs to be called out. committing and decommiting twice? decommiting on the same day you recommit? that's just plain ridiculous

nm, i'll wait and see what happens, i'm realizing he may have publically jumped the gun, and it's not up to him

he's on the attack via twitter

seems something beyond his control has happened

12/22/2011 2:16:18 PM

They (staff) can't even comment on him because he hasn't sign anything.

[Edited on December 22, 2011 at 2:17 PM. Reason : d]

12/22/2011 2:16:46 PM

Yeah, he probably publicly committed and there wasn't a scholly available.

12/22/2011 2:17:28 PM

^

How can that be? We had one more open in addition to the three guys we've already signed, and nobody else has committed.

(silent verbal)

12/22/2011 2:18:56 PM

Highly doubt we didn't have a scholly for a Top 25 player. You make room for those types not deny them..

12/22/2011 2:19:25 PM

He's not a top 25 player. And if you have a silent from someone like Amile...there isn't a scholarship available.

12/22/2011 2:20:12 PM

I blame gary williams

12/22/2011 2:20:22 PM

WHO WILL BE OUR BRADLEY

12/22/2011 2:20:24 PM

(he ain't top25... but close enough)

12/22/2011 2:20:48 PM

Just do what UCONN did

12/22/2011 2:20:57 PM

I no longer believe in silent verbals

12/22/2011 2:21:00 PM

Silent verbals are fantasy. They are like Santa Claus. They don't exist..

12/22/2011 2:21:01 PM

silent verbals are more common than starters agreeing to give-up their scholarship and walk-on

12/22/2011 2:22:15 PM

I don't either, but TG seems to have his feelings hurt. No other reason to attack reports like that.

12/22/2011 2:22:35 PM

graham was top 25 before his knee surgery...fwiw
