    What great news! I had convinced myself that it was going to go the other way, what a happy turn of events.

    Excellent news for Rodney! Thank you for your steadfast commitment to NC State University during this NCAA injustice.

    Rodney should be given a standing ovation when he is introduced at the first game for the faith and class he has demonstrated in all of this, and for the person he is – and he will be introduced as the starting SG, I’M certain, if I know Gott. I’m happier for him as a person than I am for Wolfpack Nation for his being a great BB player for the Pack- and I’m EXTREMELY happy for Wolfpack Nation!

    What a great day! Holdie resigns in shame and is a lame duck for the rest of his tenure and more importantly, RP gets to play this year for the Pack. Game on.

    Crazy good news. And as so many have said: a just reward for the character shown by Rodney as he waited it out. Well done, young man.

    Poppa, my big three tonight were:

    Today there were 5 NC State stories on the ESPN bball homepage – and all positive. I’m not sure that’s ever happened before, and it’s great to see.

    This is a little off topic but I sure hope Debbie is looking to put together a new compensation plan for Gott and the staff. What he and his assistants have done in less than two years is damn impressive. Most said it couldn’t be done. Everyone that follows college basketball is aware of this turnaround and AD’s are gonna come calling. We can’t have anyone stealing from us what we have waited so long for because of money. Debbie………do whatever you have to but show Gott the money.
