Purvis weighs in on Amile:
Quote : | "I’m still hoping we can get another guy or two. I’m talking to Amile Jefferson and even Tony Parker, even though we’re late in the game.
You never know what those guys are gonna do though. I don’t crowd them. I give them their space and let them make their own decision.
But I always tell them that I’ll support wherever they go. I do feel pretty strongly about our chances with Amile though. " |

I'm excited with both.
Between Glennon and Amerson, we've got a real chance at an ACC Championship in football. If our running game comes to play, we're in that conversation.
Obviously basketball is hotter than Hansel right now, and with a preseason top 10 ranking, plus odds-on favorite to win the ACC, it's beyond my wildest dreams.
It's a good time to be a Wolfpacker, no matter what side of the football/basketball debate you fall on. We can appreciate both without criticizing one or the other. 4/19/2012 3:35:47 PM |

As far as I'm concerned football just needs to keep making bowls and beating Carolina. I'm not gonna get upset with TOB as long as he keeps up the good work. Fact of the matter is very few teams have true championship aspirations and its rare that one of those will come from the ACC so I'm not sweating too much on football as long as they keep getting 7-8-9 wins in season and making tarheel fans weep. 4/19/2012 4:03:55 PM |

^i feel like that's pretty much spot on. i feel like we could probably do better as a whole, but making a bowl and beating carolina doesn't go down as a bad football season in my book. 4/19/2012 4:13:05 PM |

So not sure if this has been posted or not, but Tyler Lewis was named 3rd team All-America by ESPN. Jefferson made 4th team and Purvis was honorable mention.

That's a little confusing. Every recruiting site I've seen has Purvis ranked ahead of those guys. Didn't Purvis also win the best hs basketball player in the country poll on espn? 4/19/2012 4:43:35 PM |

Recruiting rankings aren't based on who had the best season. Being named all american is. Also, that poll was a fan poll. 4/19/2012 4:50:03 PM |
Bullet All American 28417 Posts user info edit post |
I realize it was a poll, I stated that, i was half-joking.
So if rankings aren't based on how well the player's play during hs an aau ball, then what are they based on? 4/19/2012 4:52:43 PM |

It's pretty simple; there are only 2 point guards rated ahead of Lewis and 3 power forwards ahead of Jefferson, while there are a plethora of highly-ranked shooting guards. 4/19/2012 5:07:18 PM |
simonn best gottfriend 28968 Posts user info edit post |
it's even more simple than that, really: tyler lewis was the starting 1 on an undefeated oak hill team. rodney purvis played at upper room christian academy in raleigh. 4/19/2012 5:09:42 PM |
Bullet All American 28417 Posts user info edit post |
It's not that easy, seeing as how espn ranks lewis at the 5th point guard (and 44th overall), and purvis as the 5th shooting guard (and 20th overall).
Not that it matter, congrats to Lewis! 4/19/2012 5:10:56 PM |

I mean if his pt is that espn disagrees with itself, then sure, pt taken.
but counterpoint: Who gives a shit? 4/19/2012 6:21:57 PM |
simonn best gottfriend 28968 Posts user info edit post |
your counter-point is a good one, but espn is not in any way disagreeing w/ itself, so that is not a good point. recruit rankings are projections for what you will do in the future, while being an all american is an award for what you have already done.] 4/19/2012 6:23:22 PM |

79 was the last year they won in football, but i didn't think we were good in bball then. So im going to say 73 or 74. If we only had a device where we could look stuff up via query
