As we stated in one of our biggest and best entries of the summer: Over the next couple of weeks SFN will have some entries focusing on the tough summer that Chuck Amato is having in the national media. Then we went on to defend Coach Amato to TSN based on the incorrect premise and […]
McMillan’s Turn
I guess that we really meant it when we said, “Recruiting, Recruiting Everywhere”. After spending a few minutes on Chris Wright this weekend, the N&O makes it easy to spend a few minutes on Jamelle McMillan today. (See McMillan’s Scout.com Profile) One thing that I did NOT like reading was the following part about fans […]
Recruiting, Recruiting, Everywhere
This entry helped us set the tone for what is to come in NC State Basketball recruiting this year. In the piece, I commented as to why I had given up on following recruiting years ago; I also commented on my renewed excitement around recruiting in the entry. SFN is NOT going to become a […]
’06 ACC BBall Recruiting Rankings
The Fayetteville Observer has definitely earned their keep in recent weeks with some valuable information and articles. (This article/entry from earlier in the week was very well received) A few weeks ago, the Observer adjusted the 2006 ACC Basketball recruiting rankings for recent defections to all programs. (Link) As you will see, NC State’s class […]
Helmets Help Frame of Reference
A few weeks ago I saved this link to the 2006 ACC Football Schedule (by football helmets). Just this week, 850TheBuzz has enhanced the 2006 ACC Football Helmet Schedule with a downloadable schedule. You can click here for it. A lot of fans (somewhat understandbly) love to criticize NC State’s 2006 Out of Conference schedule […]
Lowe is “Ready for this”
“The support and the passion we have for basketball here at N.C. State is special,‿ Lowe said. “I’m here to continue and restore those glory days that we once shared. I’m ready for this. I can’t wait.‿ During the barrage of Sidney Lowe news in the month of May, we chose to hold off linking […]
BBall Recruiting & Scout’s 2007 Summer Top 100
I haven’t followed basketball or football recruiting with any real attention for quite a few years now. The slow death of my overall enthusiasm for NC State Basketball over the last decade combined with the exhaustion of the incessant spin from Herb Sendek’s basketball staff that almost every player the staff signed was a “diamond […]
TSN Blogs Big on Amato…and Bombs
Over the next couple of weeks SFN will have some entries focusing on the tough summer that Chuck Amato is having in the national media. But, we are first going to turn your attention to The Sporting News’ Mike Farrell who blogged a big entry on Coach Amato at the end of last week that […]
Hornets Coincidence
SFN has been celebrating Cedric Simmons’ selection in the NBA Draft by the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets in this entry. As I was reading some of the articles linked in the entry I ran across the following quote that put me on a little bit of thought progression: The pair join Hornets leading scorer David […]
Greco Leaving NCS Football
The N&O has reported this morning that the rumors that have been circulated for a few weeks are true – backup quarterback Mike Greco is leaving NC State and is transferring to Pearl River Community College in Poplarville, MS. Greco, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound left-hander from Lighthouse Point, Fla., was redshirted as a freshman last season. […]
