of course, all he did was smile and walk away.

I heard that Leslie was staying from my ex landlord. Any truth to this?

It was inevitable that TWW turn into PackPride. Everyone on TWW is old now, just like PP.

Anyone catch the thegoodlife3's performance this weekend? I heard it was top notch

I hear calvin is staying and CJ is going pro.

4/2/2012 8:11:05 PM

If he goes there will be trouble.
If he stays there will be double.
So come on let us know.

4/2/2012 8:53:43 PM

stay cj you can go top 5 next year and own raleigh forever with an acc crown

4/2/2012 8:58:09 PM

Thanks for your heart and determination down the stretch, Calvin. We wish you lots of luck next year in the "pros"!!

we only got one shot in OSM, therefore he is gone

4/3/2012 12:10:15 AM

It wasn't of him therefore he stays

4/3/2012 12:17:08 AM

Hey guys, the way I see it, is he's either going to come back or declare for the draft.

4/3/2012 8:35:37 AM

I had a dream last night, that Calvin and I had the same class (which is funny, cause neither of us attend class at State anymore). He got up at the front of the classroom to make his announcement on whether he was staying or leaving. However, my alarm went off at that time, so, I can't help shed any light on the situation, but my dream gut felt like he was staying.

4/3/2012 9:16:09 AM

I think we find out today. he has to file paper work starting today for the NBA.

4/3/2012 9:24:01 AM

i scanned about 3 pages of PP posters arguing about the new entry rules, and i think they came to the conclusion that it's possible that we won't know until the 29th. i didn't pay attention to the details, but i'm pretty sure he can (and will) file by today, but he can still pull out. so i'm not going worry about it until the 29th, or until he declares one way or the other.

4/3/2012 9:30:16 AM

i thought the NCAA deadline was April 10th?

4/3/2012 9:31:37 AM

^^ He has to pull out by the 10th to keep eligibility. Hopefully it will be the same scenario as Tracy Smith two years ago. Declare, get your face on the front of ESPN homepage, then pull out like a week later.

4/3/2012 9:31:41 AM

from my understanding he has until today to file paperwork to get evaluated and receive information from the NBA and whatnot. He can still pull his name by April 10th and come back to school. If he hasn't pulled his name by then or puts it back in any time after the 10th (through the 29th) he's gone.

That being said, if he doesn't even file the paperwork I believe theres a good chance he comes back. Can't imagine he'd throw his name in the draft without getting that info.

[Edited on April 3, 2012 at 9:41 AM. Reason : ]

4/3/2012 9:33:40 AM

maybe i stand corrected. but i'm still not going to worry about omnious signs or inside information until it's official one way or the other.

4/3/2012 9:38:12 AM

^ Where is the fun in that?

4/3/2012 9:44:40 AM

The agents live off commissions inside the first round. I doubt they get those from Calvin.

They don't shoot him texts at all. That's these kid's main weakness temptation-wise.

On social media they are horrid.

They are hopelessly stretched thin and have several better prospects to look at.

I like CJ's chances of coming back. He has all the makings of going after the 2nd round and might be projected first round next year.

[Edited on April 3, 2012 at 11:05 AM. Reason : k?]

4/3/2012 11:03:51 AM

haha i see what you did there

4/3/2012 11:16:26 AM

i agree with most of that, although i'd go a little further to say that he'd be a projected lottery-pick next year.

Quote :

"The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NBA draft is a week away, and N.C. State's C.J. Leslie is still weighing his options, his mother Lisa said Tuesday. Lisa Leslie said C.J. requested a report from the NBA's draft advisory committee, a group of NBA executives who provide players considering turning pro with a non-binding assessment of their draft status. Those reports are due back to players on Friday, and the Leslies plan to sit down with N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried once that information is in hand. "Once that's in, we will sit down with the coach," Lisa Leslie said. "We'll go over it and play things out, see what the best option is." In Chapel Hill, a UNC spokesman said freshman forward James Michael McAdoo has not yet submitted his name to the NBA. Underclassmen have until Tuesday, April 10, to declare their intentions to the NCAA. Players who submit their names and do not sign with an agent can still withdraw their names before that deadline. Duke's Mason Plumlee, a junior, is also considering whether to turn pro. His teammate Austin Rivers and North Carolina's Harrison Barnes, John Henson and Kendall Marshall all have decided to leave school already. Leslie's development as a star during his sophomore season earned him second-team all-ACC honors and was a big reason the Wolfpack advanced to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament, where N.C. State lost to eventual national finalist Kansas. Most predictions have Leslie going in either the late first or early second rounds if he turns pro. Scouts were impressed with his personal growth and ability to dominate games last season, but concerns exist about his NBA position -- he's not big or strong enough to play power forward, but doesn't have the perimeter game to play small forward. Probasketballdraft.com ranks Leslie the 27th best prospect, while DraftExpress ranks Leslie the 43rd-best prospect in the draft, an example of the diversity of opinion surrounding the 6-foot-9 forward. Still, his athleticism for a player that size is notable, and his development is on an upward curve, which is attractive to NBA teams. "I have Leslie as a second-round pick right now," said probasketballdraft.com editor Joe Kotoch. "He could maybe get into the last 5-8 spots in the first round, but he has his work cut out for him." Lisa Leslie said the family is feeling the pinch of the NCAA's new deadline. In years past, players had almost two months to weigh their draft options. Under pressure from coaches, the NCAA moved the decision point back to May 8 last year and April 10 this year. "You only have a short window, so you really have to stay on it," Lisa Leslie said. "You have to investigate, get as much research as you can and then make your decision.""

after reading that quote from his mom about wanting to make sure he's a first round pick, i'm not nearly as worried about this as i perhaps should be.

4/3/2012 2:47:37 PM

^Where does she say that? I missed that from the article, since it has terrible formatting and no bolding.

4/3/2012 2:49:00 PM

Doesn't he know that more people want him than any fans of any given NBA team?

players that don't pan out are better off going earlier, while their stock is still high. josh mcroberts comes to mind.

4/3/2012 5:06:48 PM

I was told that CJ renewed his lease over the weekend.

This doesn't mean anything as several of you have so viciously stated.

Now continue trolling.

4/3/2012 5:15:29 PM

I'm just disappointed no one enjoyed the humor in my dream (which really did happen).

4/3/2012 5:17:33 PM

just now saw it


good stuff

4/3/2012 5:19:29 PM

^^i was amused by the story. report back tomorrow and let us know if there are any more overnight developments in your dreams.

4/3/2012 5:42:53 PM

I heard that CJL will stay, so long as he doesn't have to pay for his girlfriend's abortion.

If she's keeping the baby, he is so outta here...

4/3/2012 5:48:05 PM

Wow I had no idea he was lisa leslie's son. Just goes to show the sexism in sports. If it were his dad, that would be all they talked about every game.
