Ok, can we now please, for the love of god, focus on basketball recruiting?

11/10/2008 4:52:03 PM

i don't know why everyone gets so bent out of shape about tangents in threads like this.

BELIEVE ME, when the recruiting news picks up, this topic will sort itself out, but right now there's nothing.

11/10/2008 5:18:23 PM

amen.

while were at it, grimace, hero or villan?

11/10/2008 5:26:37 PM

hahahah

10/10

11/10/2008 5:28:56 PM

hero, obviously

11/10/2008 5:29:47 PM

i never understood grimace

does he ironically have that name because he has that dopey smile on his face all the time?

also, don't all the other mcdonald characters have something to do with food? what the hell does grimace represent?

bttt.... favors has made a decision and will announce wednesday or thursday according to some good info

probably not good for us, but we will see... we stand a better chance the longer he waits

11/11/2008 9:23:39 AM

Where is this good info? Is it premium?

11/11/2008 9:38:13 AM

why would this be bad news for us? I figure we are still fresh on his mind after a good visit...

11/11/2008 9:39:14 AM

I would guess cause Wall hasn't committed yet and we were kinda using that to bait him in.

So I agree, this really increases his chance of staying instate.

Well Wall wasn't going to announce until after he took all of his visits. Everyone knew Wall wouldn't be announcing until the Spring anyways.

The one thing that kills any grandeur of the RBC center is that goddamn canadian flag

11/11/2008 11:47:14 AM

yeah but it holds just as many people as the Georgia and Georgia Tech arena combined.

or a worse chance after he sees how our team performs

Can someone post the Pateev article from wolfpacker?

i'm not.

11/11/2008 12:36:18 PM

Where exactly did this "source" get his information? I'm going to stick with what Zagoria says for now... he posted this last night at like 11pm

http://www.zagsblog.com/2008/11/10/favors-williams-may-wait-until-april/

11/11/2008 12:36:54 PM

as long as we have a decent season i feel like it will benefit us for favors to wait.

i wish wall would sign in the early period though so duke cant get in deeper.

11/11/2008 12:54:57 PM

everything ive heard is he will probably commit this week but not sign until the spring.

who the hell knows. i kinda have a good feeling for some reason bout this guy.

Not on rivals, but the other says that he is committing tomorrow, and is b/t us and ASU, with FSU a distant third

11/11/2008 1:04:21 PM

It'd be interesting if we ended up with two centers.

11/11/2008 1:26:04 PM

packpride has a thread named "Favors makes decision"

any news what he decided? how long to wait to commit? what to eat for dinner?

"Here’s the definitive word on Derrick Favors. “It’s a 0% chance he’ll sign tomorrow unless someone can sway him otherwise in the next week. He won’t sign until the spring.” And there you have it, from a source on the inside of the situation. (DT) "

11/11/2008 1:44:19 PM

Thanks... I would never take the anonymous message board post over the word of a guy with connections through AAU and high school like Zagoria...

This just confirms what he said...

11/11/2008 1:52:55 PM

good call, i just assumed from the title that it was a mod that posted it

11/11/2008 1:56:21 PM

yea... the big boys over there seemed to think there was some substance to him making a decision, but it looks as if its gonna be a long wait for wall/favors both... heres to both of em

11/11/2008 4:55:46 PM

the longer we wait on favors the better, however the opposite i think is true for Wall

11/11/2008 4:58:41 PM

Pateev is going to be a Sun Devil


(that's too bad, I wanted Angus Brandt)

11/11/2008 11:14:57 PM

HERB!!!!!

(In the tone of William Shatner screaming, "KHAN!!!")

I'm not going to lose sleep over this one.

"7:20 p.m. Just popped over and spoke with John Wall. He's a definite no go on signing day. He's on his way to Memphis this weekend and dropping by Duke next week sometime. He's interested in officially visiting Miami and Baylor and he's been to Kansas officially and recently N.C. State unofficially. "To me, I'm not going to sign because I haven't taken all the visits I want to take. Why pick a school when you haven't given every school a chance?" (DT) "

Hmmm... the plot thickens, and not in a good way.

Also, looks like Cunningham Herb'd Arizona State.

^ that's kindof how it's been this whole time.

i wouldn't say it's bad or good. wall's just there right now.

"“I don’t feel rushed,” Wall told USA Today. “Now, (college coaches) understand when I said I was going to wait until the spring to make my decision. They’ll just keep recruiting me as hard as they can.”"

in other words, he likes the attention. can't blame him though

11/12/2008 11:59:58 AM

^true...i would too though.

Quote :

"Hmmm... the plot thickens, and not in a good way"

yeah, he has said all along that he (wall) was going to take all of his OVs. cant blame him on that either. go and get some Kansas Ass, Miami Ass, Texas Ass and more ass.

must be nice

I would think the committal of either of these guys would warrant its own thread. I mean, it might just be one of the most important things to happen to NC State basketball since '83 (yeah, i know, some were saying that about j.j. last year).

11/12/2008 12:27:30 PM

I think all three commits are faxing in their LOI today.

And about Damien Wilkins in '99 and the Hodge led class of '01

11/12/2008 1:19:31 PM

Yeah I was about to say, Hodge was ranked REALLY high in high school, like top 5.

11/12/2008 1:42:16 PM

Hodge did change the program though. He got us back to going to the NCAA tournament which increases exposure thereby making it easier to recruit.

11/12/2008 2:35:17 PM

he also bought herb five more years. lol thread hijacked.

11/12/2008 3:12:21 PM

Herb got Pateev

11/12/2008 4:42:49 PM

Maybe its silver lining, but would getting a commit from Pateev have hurt us with Favors? I think so...we can only really take 2 schollys max...and getting 1 center already would hurt us for Mr. Favors.
