Luke Cothron fails to qualify
This was an interesting ride. It has been announced (click here) that former NC State Basketball commitment and Top 50 national recruit, Luke Cothron, has failed to academically qualify for the upcoming season. You probably remember that Cothron originally committed to NC State about a year ago and then de-committed during his senior year in [...]

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 [...]

15. June 2010
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 [...]

7. June 2010
With the confirmed assimilation of one of the best basketball recruiting classes in school history coming on the back of the announcement of Lee Fowler’s imminent departure, perhaps NC State is experiencing some of that “hope and change” that Barack Obama talked so much about in 2008? As you know, we don’t go too far [...]

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 [...]

29. April 2010
Want proof that C.J. Leslie’s commitment is a huge deal to NC State and even to the entire ACC? Just notice how much the discussion of his decision continued today after the news broke late in the day Wednesday. Even with Tracy Smith’s decision to put his name into the draft (he’ll be back by [...]

26. April 2010
Over the last year, we have found two different ways to almost insure that a topic gets covered by WRAL’s blog: (1) First – create a thread on our message board. Often the topic of thread doesn’t even have to be NC State related; can just be something from Deadspin or somewhere else. If the [...]

20. April 2010
I don’t know about everyone else, but I’ve had just about enough of the C.J. Leslie saga. I understand he’s a great high school player who will likely be a great college player and this is just how things are nowadays with recruiting, but at this point it’s just old. Just in the last two weeks Leslie [...]

20. March 2010
An unfortunate end to what had become an exciting little run for the basketball team.

In his final game with the Wolfpack senior Dennis Horner scored 23 and pulled down [...]
