As I alluded in the comments section of this thread, Robbi Pickeral penned an interesting article last Sunday, noting that Sidney Lowe had named a new strength and conditioning coach. Lowe’s choice? Wright Wayne, Lowe’s coach in 1983, who had been reassigned to other programs within the athletic department for the last 12 years. If […]
Audie Cole Gets Front Page Treatment
Ken Tysiac has a nice writeup this morning: It’s no secret that N.C. State was most effective late last season when a healthy Irving and defensive end Willie Young rushed the quarterback from opposite sides. Opponents had to slide their protection toward one of those players. If N.C. State schemed correctly, that meant a running […]
Atlantic Division Preview – The Case Against…Maryland
As college football season approaches, I noted how difficult it was to pick someone to win the ACC’s Atlantic Division. On the flip side, I could easily argue the case against every team. The “slow season” for Wolfpack news is an ideal time to explore this in more detail. Previously, we talked about Clemson, Florida […]

J.P. Giglio and Robbi Pickeral – Summer Hoops Preview Series (7/23 Update)

Lorenzo Brown – Another One Bites the Dust
I apologize for not being more timely – I’ve been on vacation and out of the loop. But yes, what you may have heard is indeed true – Lorenzo Brown is headed to prep school and will not suit up for the 2009-10 Wolfpack squad. No matter how down the ACC may be, this is […]
2009/10 ACC Hoops – Where Are the Guards?
Another one bites the dust – guard Elliot Williams is leaving Duke for family reasons. This means that the consensus pick for 1st place next season returns only two guards, neither of whom is really that good (Nolan Smith, Jon Scheyer). J.P. Giglio has more on how this potentially shakes up the ACC race. Our […]
From the Comments – An Outside View of NC State Hoops
Long-time commenter (and very gracious guest in Wolfpack Blogistan) nycfan gave a very detailed assessment of our basketball program under the “stewardship” of Fowler and Lowe. Many times, a knowledgeable outsider can give a more honest, objective assessment – since emotion doesn’t get in the way. I just wanted to highlight this comment for the […]
