we are going to need another grad student or juco player

5/15/2012 6:51:28 PM

u know this staff had to have a plan B

also wonder what Tyler Harris is thinking right now....

5/15/2012 6:54:13 PM

Spent the afternoon washing my car. Forgot about the press conference.

Bring on the Europeans!

5/15/2012 7:00:58 PM

yeah, now i'm a little worried about our big man depth after this year, hopefully we can get meeks and/or randle next year. are there any others out there now?

and now i'll take a bet that was proposed earlier, i bet TDT does see at least around 5 mpg this year.

5/15/2012 7:16:35 PM

Had a unc fan tell me "im glad he went there instead of State." That consolation prize might be worth it.

after the news of amile today





but when I remembered Purvis, Lewis, Warren, Zo and Calvin and Richard
I was all like

5/15/2012 7:49:18 PM

god this fucking sucks.

i don't know if there's a worse feeling in the world than losing a big man to duke, jesus christ.

5/15/2012 7:52:09 PM

I like how some of the posters on PP act all self-righteous and start trying to call out other posters for saying stuff like "have fun setting screens" and "start practicing your flopping". I'm not saying grown men acting like middle schoolers is fine, but fuck wishing him well. Dude went to one of our biggest rival schools, which also just so happens to have one of the most annoying and bandwagon fan bases out there. Fuck him and fuck Duke. I like that our fan base is passionate, rude, and intimidating. If you wanna be a pussy that cheers for players that write crappy poems and paint their nails, go root for the asshats at one of the two schools 20 miles West of Raleigh.

5/15/2012 7:53:53 PM

poor man? duke?

He's now the enemy

5/15/2012 9:38:28 PM

As soon as he started mentioning "doing what's best for his future", I thought, that's Duke talk. Then he put on the cap and I was all



Is that old guy from the pre-presser available? He looked pretty good.

5/15/2012 9:41:33 PM

screw him, enemy made

5/15/2012 9:44:39 PM

What was it khadree hooker said when summers switched to unc?

Something along the lines of "my boy did what he thought he had to do, hope he's ready to get smacked on the field"

5/15/2012 10:40:22 PM

Time to move all our efforts and energy to Randle.

I loved getting all that worked up and hyped and getting let down.

It's like taking a girl out to a fancy dinner and getting a handjob.

5/15/2012 10:51:30 PM

Man, we didn't even get a hand job. Teased all the way. Then to make things worse she chooses the douchebag that you know won't even appreciate her.

Blue balled.

It's the essence of being a State fan that few bandwagoners get to enjoy.

It's more like taking a girl out to dinner and she breaks up with you. At least you get a handy in your example.

this sucks long term. next year I think we're better off with warren playing all his minutes

last time I made a similar observation we got lorenzo brown at PG

the time to go all in on julius randle is NOW

5/16/2012 12:28:28 AM

i hope the incoming freshmen show amile the error of his ways. i hope calvin brutally posterizes him.

[Edited on May 16, 2012 at 1:03 AM. Reason : damn autocorrect]

5/16/2012 1:02:57 AM

There's really no doubt that Leslie is going to posterize him. In fact, I doubt there will be a front court player in the ACC who he doesn't embarrass.

5/16/2012 1:24:29 AM

i was talking about that before it was cool

man i'm still sick about this. god dammit.

i want good things for you so bad, state basketball!

5/16/2012 2:47:24 AM

we got 3 AAs this year...UNC and Duke have only gotten 4 in one year each

talk about going from the outhouse to the penthouse overnight and still being unhappy

5/16/2012 3:30:52 AM

^, I thought Duke and UNC have both had two classes each with 4 McD AA's in them?

5/16/2012 8:20:34 AM

Last few months we've been hearing a lot of Amile wants State, but his dad wanted Duke. Then you read this quote from yesterday:

"It's a place where everyone would be happy and seeing me going," said Jefferson. "They value academics... right now I don't think they have a player at my position or a guy like me at Duke right now and I hope to bring an energy and a passion to the school and basketball team."

Reading between the lines it looks like daddy got his way

5/16/2012 8:40:17 AM

^^Correct. Carolina (in 1990 and 2009) and Duke (in 1999 and 2002).

5/16/2012 8:59:16 AM

Quote :

"Just a dumb decision. Duke is in serious decline, they may not even be a top 25 program after next year"

huh? based on what?

Quote :

"There's really no doubt that Leslie is going to posterize him."

I'm wondering how much PT Jefferson is really gonna get next season for Leslie to get that opportunity. Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kelly are established starters, so Jefferson has the following players to compete against:

Marshall Plumlee
Josh Hairston
Alex Murphy

5/16/2012 9:02:34 AM

Not according to amile he doesnt

It is no secret his Dad wanted him to go to Duke.

he's owner of the beacon of reason, knowledge, and level-headedness known as packpride.

5/16/2012 10:19:31 AM

Does this help us pick up anyone else this year?

we has more scholarships yo...

5/16/2012 10:25:54 AM

CAN EVERYONE CALM THE FUCK DOWN. Jesus, we have The Big Dandy. What more could you ask for?

5/16/2012 10:26:49 AM

James Henderson. The guy that felt it was a safe bet for PP to make the trip to Amile's announcement.

5/16/2012 10:28:37 AM

Fuck it....we've got our good practice player to make it 5 v 5 in scrimmage (Turner). And scrub walk-ons to fill in for those guys. You're never going to play more than 8 or 9 guys anyways. We did perfectly fine with a 7 man rotation last year and we'll probably settle into an 7 or 8 man rotation this year with #9 only getting heavy minutes if there's an injury. I'm perfectly fine with that. As long as we don't have two major injuries...we'll be fine.

We have interchangeable depth at all positions and we have several guys that can score in the post (CJL, Howell, and Warren) and on the perimeter (Wood, Brown, Purvis, and Warren again). So foul trouble won't kill our scoring options. We just need TDT and Vandy to come in and get rebounds, play defense, and hit point blank lay-ups dunks. There's no reason to think we can't improve immensely on last year's results.

Save those scholarships for studs in the next couple years. Guys who dunk all over Amile Jefferson and throw his wack-ass shot into the bleachers.

I guess he'll start this year, but didn't Kelly come off the bench during pretty much the entirety of conference play this year

Can someone break down our current scholarship situation?
