This Wednesday, 9:30 p.m. on ESPN.

Wolfpack signees Tyler Lewis, Rodney Purvis, and TJ Warren are all on the East team. So is uncommitted Amile Jefferson.

3/25/2012 9:29:53 PM

Will feature 4 nc state signees by the end of the game

3/25/2012 9:36:36 PM

So Duke is in on 3 of the uncommited guys, Amile, Tony Parker, and Shabazz Muhammad. And they have Rasheed Sulaimon in the game. I wonder who ends up with more

3/25/2012 10:02:02 PM

3/25/2012 10:15:41 PM

Apparently the "jamfest" is tonight? Is it televised? I assume Purvis will participate?

3/26/2012 11:12:53 AM

Parker to Kansas, Shabazz to Kentucky, and Amile to State...

3/26/2012 11:17:07 AM

ESPN2 at 7:30pm. Still haven't seen a released roster of the participants.

^ I bet Shabazz goes to Duke to take over for Rivers.

^That is the game, not the Jamfest (subset of the event).

3/26/2012 11:23:10 AM

i think he was saying they haven't announced the participants of tonight's jamfest, but thanks for the roster. Looks like there's 5 guys who haven't decided on their college yet. Feels good to see NC State listed 3 times on there. And Duke and North Carolina only once each!

3/26/2012 11:25:02 AM

I really hope Shabazz doesn't go to duke. That guy scares the crap out of me. Kid is absolutely filthy!

3/26/2012 11:25:58 AM

I'm just gonna go ahead and say right now that Shabazz is austin rivers 2.0

3/26/2012 11:55:19 AM

It boggles my mind that I will actually tune in for this.

"On the heels of a Sweet 16 run, the future at N.C. State is bright with the impending arrival of McDonald's All-Americans Rodney Purvis, left, Tyler Lewis and T.J. Warren."

I think im most intrigued to see Warren play. Saw a lot of Tyler this year and Purvis and not worried about them at all. Not worried about Warren either, just want to see him play, how he'll fit in to the team.

The West Team lives off points inside the arc. I doubt they get those against the East Team.

They don't shoot threes at all. That's the East Team's main weakness defensively.

Defensively they are horrid.

They are hopelessly short and have zero depth.

I like the East Team vs the spread. This has all the makings of a 30+ point game that might only be a 15 point spread.

3/26/2012 2:50:29 PM

lol gg

3/26/2012 7:36:07 PM

TYLER LEWIS

3/26/2012 7:37:40 PM

lewis won skills comp, amile finished 3rd

3/26/2012 7:38:35 PM

that being said, all 3 girls in the finals had faster times than lewis :/

3/26/2012 7:47:43 PM

be cool dude got a toof knockout this morning he still be on the nitrous

3/26/2012 8:13:41 PM

McD's fail, put another girl that can't dunk in the slam dunk contest.

Now they have a girl that looks like Michael Beasley trying...make that two girls that can't dunk in the contest.

[Edited on March 26, 2012 at 8:32 PM. Reason : .]

3/26/2012 8:31:10 PM

girls...

thanks for the effort...

3/26/2012 8:33:30 PM

The girls should have a passing contest

3/26/2012 8:41:30 PM

10s across the board!!

3/26/2012 8:42:35 PM

man i cant wait to watch this game

3/26/2012 8:46:45 PM

Do they girls have to prove they can dunk? if you going to have 4 girl in the dunk contest have a girls dunk contest so i can turn the channel.

3/26/2012 8:59:57 PM

Really hard to watch this

3/26/2012 9:00:10 PM

Whats up with the goofy white boys jock sniffing behind the players?

3/26/2012 9:01:29 PM

oh shit this could be big

even if we dont get Amile Jefferson or anything, a win over the West (regardless of who's missing) is a chance at revenge that we dont normally get with the shitty conference realignment schedule

3/26/2012 9:15:34 PM

Was disappointed that Purivs didn't get any screen time last night.

Also I was was hoping I would turn it on and see our 3 recruits chilling on the floor with Amile. Not the case

3/27/2012 8:31:24 AM

Amile's shot in that skills competition was horrible. Worse than CJL. Keep that man in the paint for the time being.

3/27/2012 8:36:52 AM

Tyler Lewis had a tooth knocked out yesterday during practice. He had to go to a dentist to get it put back in.

3/27/2012 9:01:08 AM

Espn writeup on practice said amile was getting pushed around in the paint (not surprising) and he needs to add bulk, but that his length and ability to make "garbage plays" around the lane on offense was bothering the other bigs.

3/27/2012 2:46:08 PM

i'm pretty pumped up about this game tomorrow

Maybe its just me, but of all the clips and footage Ive seen of Amile, Im not THAT impressed. I mean, I know the guy can play, but what makes him a 5 star, top 15 talent? his jumpshot yesterday wasnt exactly pretty, he has decent handles for someone so tall, but he weighs less than I do and is 8 inches taller. He's not jumping through the roof like Leslie, I dont get it.

3/27/2012 3:56:01 PM

from what i've gathered, it's his b-ball iq that is most impressive.

3/27/2012 4:13:02 PM

Its all about potential and the fact that he could still commit to duke. the best players aren't always mcdonalds all americans or 5 star recruits.

I heard that can get you first team All American votes as a true freshman. Just ask Harrison Barnes.

Yeah, that's basically the same exact impression I have of him. Undersized and not an elite athlete. He looks good scoring against high school kids, but he will struggle mightily against bigger and more athletic competition. He'll be fun to watch in transition but not a go to guy for points in the half court. In other words, please don't leave CJ
