    He is the ultimate tweener that does not do anything really well. Going to be a project.

    If CJ is gone, I wish him well. If he isn’t, I’m glad he’s taking the opportunity to further his education and athletic development.

    Good luck either way.

    … after watching Kevin Ware of ‘da Ville…. take that ‘fall’ last night…. can anybody blame anybody else for taking the NBA’s money and running when you can….

    … I was impressed with the way Calvin answered the questions to him in the presser today….. not your average 20-21 kid… he’s GOTT the right stuff…and seems like a pretty good kid to hang around with…

    Good Luck,,,,, Calvin…..

    Finally had a chance to watch the presser. Well done young man! Same goes for his mom and for coach. Going back to my college days if I had a really good chance at a well paying job after my junior year it would be awfully hard to say “not yet” and as Bill said especially after seeing “the fall” last night.

    I wish CJ all the best – his success will have the effect of boosting the NC State basketball program as well.
