2010-2011 Men’s Basketball Schedule
What more appropriate topic for the first day of College Football season than…BASKETBALL!? (Do you wonder why the Atlantic Coast Conference struggles to build a reputation in Football?) We shared a pretty good preview of NC State’s projected 2010-2011 Basketball Schedule in this link last week, but today the ACC offices have released the entire [...]

28. August 2010
NC State’s 2010-2011 Basketball Schedule is completed, but the ACC offices are expected to wait until early to mid September to formally annouce the entire schedule. That hasn’t stopped us from talking about pieces of the schedule as we have learned of it. For example, we’ve previously discussed the following: Wisconsin (click here) Syracuse (click [...]

C.J. Leslie, Ryan Harrow and Lorenzo Brown teamed up with CJ Williams in the N.C. ProAm last night in Durham and gave the Wolfpack fans in attendance a bit of a preview of what to expect in the coming season. While it might be a pick up game preview, it still counts for something. We [...]

In the first game of the 2010 N.C. Pro-Am Thursday night Tracy Smith got to team up with incoming freshman CJ Leslie and two NC State recruits, Rodney Purvis and Joseph Uchebo. The four put on a show — Leslie and Smith both scored 20+ points — but fell to Team Hendrick of Durham in [...]

2. July 2010
Sidney Lowe must be talking to former NC State football coach Lou Holtz, a man who was infamous for effusively praising even the lightest of opponents as being world-beaters while talking about his own team as though they were elementary school scrubs picked last in PE for a game of kickball. For example, in the [...]

Just a few days after being dismissed from the team at Oak Ridge Military Academy, 2011 big man Joseph Uchebo has landed much closer to the NC State campus to finish out his high school career. Uchebo enrolled at Word of God Academy and will look to graduate in the spring of 2011. It is [...]

13. June 2010
Just got an email from a good friend sharing the insight that Johnny Thomas is staying local – much more local than Josh Davis – and could end up at Appalachian State or UNC-Wilmington. (Link to entry from earlier in the week) Good luck to Johnny wherever he ultimately chooses…but, boy do I ever wish [...]

27. May 2010
If you thought the out of conference schedule for NC State was going to be tough in 2010 (games against Wisconsin, Syracuse, Arizona and potentially Georgetown), take a look at the ACC schedule. N.C.

19. May 2010
On the Rhode: Mabry chooses A-10 Rocky Mount High basketball star Tashawn Mabry is going to the University of Rhode Island — not N.C. State, which was his top choice two weeks ago.

18. May 2010
Not many people were surprised by Julius Mays’ decision to transfer. That was not the case with Josh Davis. He had come to campus, excelled in his role as a hustle player during his freshman year, and seemed content. Apparently that wasn’t the case. I’m not sure yet if Davis’ decision is based solely on [...]

4. May 2010
Sorry to rain on the “Lee Fowler is gone” parade, but there was something else going on in West Raleigh today, and turns out it was a bigger deal than I thought it would be. I’m not great at estimating crowds, but there had to be 500 people at Sammy’s Tap & Grill to watch [...]

4. May 2010
If you’re planning on coming out to see C.J. sign his national letter of intent Tuesday at 5 p.m., you better come out early. Ryan Harrow’s signing party at Sammy’s was a standing room only affair and it was at 12 o’clock in the afternoon on a Wednesday. I suspect Mr. Leslie’s party will be [...]
