Sort of along the lines of what are you going to do when the cheering stops? <br /><br />He really interviews well.<br /><br />It's exciting to hear of the various transformations that are taking place. Johnny Thomas will be an interesting one to watch however; what's more intriguing to me is how I really can't put my finger on who is going to surprise people this year. I have no gut feeling on this. Even stranger is, my gut feeling feels like the surprise could come from a bunch... sort of like a team.Afterglowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162654720812118746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-72699886145177886952009-06-19T14:01:26.049-04:002009-06-19T14:01:26.049-04:00I read it as Johnny said he was going to have to m...I read it as Johnny said he was going to have to move on if he wasn't able to contribute. <br /><br />I also think it was interesting the comments from the 3 coaches about 'changing the culture'.<br /><br />It had to be like we percieved it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-87391387229822191202009-06-19T12:03:10.440-04:002009-06-19T12:03:10.440-04:004eva, I think Lowe is eluding to the fact that Joh...4eva, I think Lowe is eluding to the fact that Johnny understands, that if he can't go this year then it is pointless to continue pursuing basketball. I don't think Sid told him to produce or get out. That's not Sid. There would be another scholly for '10 if Johnny can't fight this injury. I hope that he can be the player that he has the potential to be because he is a great player.ppack3https://www.blogger.com/profile/09213303572407520015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-31017033480025364702009-06-19T10:33:52.103-04:002009-06-19T10:33:52.103-04:00In the last question, regarding Johnny Thomas, Low...In the last question, regarding Johnny Thomas, Lowe stated, "It's kind of like he needs to get in there and get after it or get out."<br /><br />Is that a portent of things to come? I mean is he basically stating either Thomas shows he can do it this year or he may not have a scholly next?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-43687564807925639622009-06-19T06:54:54.645-04:002009-06-19T06:54:54.645-04:00This interview is good!

I like the comments about this realistically being his first year with his own team, and he seems to be keying on his plan and not short-term results. So Coach is a leader who can get people to follow his plan and see his vision.<br /><br />The only thing that can stop this train is injuries.<br /><br />One point that can't be emphasized enough about this team is having multiple options at multiple positions. Not a team where losing one guy or having one guy hurting at a position can flip 10-6 to 6-10 as the past couple of years.<br /><br />So, can the Wolfpack survive a season with only five options at the point? (Mays, Javi, Farnold, Wood, and Zo) Will there be a walk-on sixth option? I mean, the bad luck at this one position for the past 3 years has been mind-blowing. Can't change soon enough!HaveYouHuggedYourWolfToday?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-27505125787206359692009-06-19T03:50:15.001-04:002009-06-19T03:50:15.001-04:00looks like Sid's got the players, i just hope ...looks like Sid's got the players, i just hope he has the talent to use them wisely. i liked what he said earlier about not expecting wins this season, but expecting improvement over the season. how true that is... it will be hard to accept a 5-acc win season, but it's going to happen whether we like it or not. no way we are going to win 50% of our ACC games. i hope we will, but logic says we won't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-33876944111284610292009-06-18T22:44:11.488-04:002009-06-18T22:44:11.488-04:00I'm excited about all the new recruits.

Most of the guys are athletic and multi-positional guys. For example, take the 2-spot. We have Williams, Brown, Wood, and Degand (per recent Sid comments). 3-spot: Thomas, Horner, Wood, Davis... And those are probably our weak spots (not mentioning the point, which i'm not terribly concerned about, with javi, mays, degand... brown... wood.......RH)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-45152384517634040962009-06-18T22:18:06.058-04:002009-06-18T22:18:06.058-04:00sorry to get off the subject but i had to check ou...sorry to get off the subject but i had to check out the cj interview everyone is upset about and now i'm upset. I watched cj play this year and was keeping all hope alive that he would maybe recommit but this did it for me. maybe john wall thought he was too big for raleigh also after the season word of god had you would think they would be in touch with reality. How can you be the best point guard in the nation and one of the best fowards and still loose 11 games. come on guys get over yourselves. If you want attention your doing a good job go to uk or unc and take a number or stay home and make a difference for the little people. by the way the game i watched was in red springs against luke cothron and luke stole the show and almost pulled it off single handedly against 4 d-1 prospect 2 that are suppose to be the best cj did his thang but he has a long way to go before he's too big for raleighgarricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-64531062941310302832009-06-18T20:38:11.324-04:002009-06-18T20:38:11.324-04:00I'm glad to hear coach pencil in Horner at the...I'm glad to hear coach pencil in Horner at the 4. I think he is one of the most underrated guys around, even around here. Also love Thomas and Wood having good minutes at 3 and Farnold getting a chance at the wing. This could be an exciting, explosive team.74Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058579613880288496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-32080676378081777022009-06-18T19:51:33.189-04:002009-06-18T19:51:33.189-04:00The best thing I heard in this interview was the h...The best thing I heard in this interview was the hard work and extra conditioning these guys are going through. It is essential to be a real competitor in this league. If the leaders on the team instill this in the younger teammates it becomes contagious. Great stuff. That is something the coach cant do in the off season, thats where having your own recruits is so key.Pack Leaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096522724969221610noreply@blogger.com
