Original June 15th, 2009 entry: The deadline for withdrawal is 5:00 p.m. today, and ESPN’s Chad Ford is tracking the late deciders’ status. So far today, the ACC is 50/50 – Gani Lawal will return to a loaded Yellow Jacket frontcourt, and Jeff Teague likely knocked the Deacs out of every pre-season Top 25 list. [...]

It will probably take a while to process all of this week’s activity once all of the chips fall (Gerald Henderson?)…but, we didn’t want to ignore all of the recent developments that will have a huge impact on the ACC/College Basketball landscape next season. (By the way, we already began discussing next year’s college [...]

Thursday, April 9, 2009
So much going on out there that we couldn’t ignore it all and thought you would appreciate a comprehensive entry following-up on a lot of topics. This couldn’t be more classic. The picture to the left was taken by the N&O/Charlotte Observer’s Robert Willett after Monday night’s NCAA Championship game and served as the front page for [...]

Wednesday, July 2, 2008
An awesome analysis of 2008’s One-And-Doners can be seen by clicking here to one of the best college basketball blogs in the country. I can’t copy and paste their comments, but they have some interesting things to say about NC State and how JJ Hickson was definitely ‘not worth it’. It really is an [...]

Friday, June 27, 2008
Sid was right – JJ went in the 11-20 window. Here’s Chad Ford’s analysis: I’m surprised they passed on local hero Kosta Koufos of Ohio State. But I do like Hickson, who’s a sleeper. He’s strong and athletic and he can score in multiple ways. He was 12-for-12 from the field in his first college game. It’s [...]

Monday, June 16, 2008
Inside Carolina is reporting that Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green will all return to Chapel Hill for the 2008-2009 college basketball season, virtually guaranteeing that the Tarheels will hold the #1 preseason ranking as the heavy favorite to win the 2009 National Championship. Lawson, Ellington and Green had become the targets of significant criticism [...]

Saturday, June 14, 2008
Since we are in the middle of the NBA Championship series…and the Tim Donaghy mess…and JJ Hickson’s inevitable departure to the NBA draft… …I thought that it was an appropriate time to share the following stat of the day. ACC Schools by number of NBA Draft selections since 1988 (1) Duke – 28 (2) North Carolina – 22 (3) Georgia [...]

Here’s your linkage. Just in case you were harboring any miniscule hopes for Hickson’s return (which SFN certainly never encouraged) – you can let them go now.

Wednesday, May 7, 2008
May 1, 2008 The writing may be the wall for JJ Hickson. As NC State fans people who genuinely want to see JJ Hickson maximize his earnings and succeed for years to come; we can only hope that the young man is mature enough to ‘read the wall’ objectively ans execute the kind of decision-making-skills needed [...]

Friday, March 14, 2008
Here’s the full article. Key excerpt: “Coach is a great man,” Hickson said. “When I came to this program, it was more like he cared about J.J. as the person rather than J.J. the basketball player. I think he does have my best interests at heart. If me and my family feel like it’s comfortable and [...]

Tuesday, February 26, 2008
Would N.C. State freshman J.J. Hickson turn professional after one season? Perhaps. On Tuesday, in one-on-one interview with WRAL, he addressed whether he’d consider the NBA after this season. “Being a competitor, the next level is the NBA. That’s what I’m trying to get to,” Hickson said. “If the opportunity is there, I’ll look at it then [...]

J. J. Hickson, F, North Carolina State Hickson is an athletic big man with an NBA frame and the ability to score from 15 feet and in. He’s shown good ability as a shot-blocker and a rebounder and has been shooting with extreme efficiency from the field. Although scouts say he’s raw and could use another year [...]

Link to NBA draft profile. It always works out this way, doesn’t it? After following and pulling hard for the Charlotte Hornets for years…the franchise finally drafts a Wolfpacker that is going to make a significant contribution to the franchise…when they are playing Oklahoma City instead of Charlotte! Poor Cedric…although he gets picked #15 (after being projected [...]
