It's the kind of tidbits that you don't read about a lot, especially without paying ridiculous fees to be 'in the know.' <br /><br />We always joked about my Dad, who has been on these pay sites for years, predicting this and that, based on what "Wolfdong63" said on a blog! Rarely was the heavily guarded info reliable, and rarely did it come to fruition. <br /><br />WPH's is feeding the hungry Wolfpack fan their RDA of these tidbits. I take recruiting news as 'fluid' until someone's name is on a dotted line. We all should. WPH's does. <br /><br />But, a boy can dream. He can dream of a line-up that throws a wrinkle into the plans of every other college program in the country! As a Pack fan, you have the dream in your back pocket. The improbable has happened here. The Cinderella Slipper actually fit, one season long ago. There was a player that came through, that is widely considered the best College Basketball player of all time. He wore the Red and White. We ended a dynasty, by defeating UCLA in '74. We started major College Basketball in the South. These are things that we know to be true. <br /><br />That is what keeps NC State fans optimistic. Some say that we live in the past. BUNK! Most schools envy our heritage. Most schools would love to have two NCAA Championship Banners hanging in the rafters. And, I for one, am looking forward to the day that the past catches up to the future. I am looking forward to a class coming in and rejuvenating a dormant giant! Ryan, Lorenzo, Luke, and CJ represent that dream. It may not happen. But it could. That's the news. Relationships are being formed that make this a possibility. Don't be afraid to get excited! Don't be afraid.<br /><br />Go State!ppack3https://www.blogger.com/profile/09213303572407520015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-68585903348910538592009-09-16T23:13:59.591-04:002009-09-16T23:13:59.591-04:00Luke told WPH this because they are not scout or r...Luke told WPH this because they are not scout or rivals and he knows that when he goes blabbing to scout or rivals other schools will start hearing that and stop recruiting him as hard and pressure him.. he can be honest with wph because the readership is State Fans.

IMO they have to date tried to keep as little between You the reader and It the subject matter at hand (be it recruit, current event, ect.) Obviously monetary amounts come first to mind for many but I also think they themselves bring skills and enthusiasm to the table each time w/o distorting the lens for which each individual views each particular time.<br /><br />In short, they shouldn't have to tell you "take this with with a grain of salt" and they don't need to tell people how to put things in perspective; they just do what they do so well which is reporting some thing that is tied into the NC State Program - past, present or future (when it's more in an editorial fashion it is clearly evident that it's on purpose).<br /><br />That wraps up my fiery injection - What I'm really truly excited about is the potential future line up that could take form if DeShawn Painter makes significant strides at the Wing - which was reported at this site as something the team is experimenting with.<br /><br />1st thing is that Painter and Wood would give an opposing Coach a headache on the Wing with the variety of weapons they compliment each other with.<br /><br />2nd item would be that it will be as clear as day to a recruit that there are minutes available right away at the ACC level in a great College BBall environment (pro-stadium confines to boot). Smith, Howell and JV will all be experienced contributors by then but the presence of an athletic big who can play high above the rim will have a great shot to go at it early on. It's no ground breaking theory that blue chip prospects want to play right away and are serious that they factor this heavily when signing day gets nearer and nearer.Mr. Dupreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627895849603264329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-50154543748660571572009-09-16T08:17:50.089-04:002009-09-16T08:17:50.089-04:00Dof87...

Not new! But thinking of a class of Zo, Ryan, Cothron and CJ is pretty exciting. Regardless, being an optimistic sort, I expect more this year than most and believe we have a good young nucleus with Mays and Williams along with the five coming in this year. With just Zo and Ryan we could be pretty awesome next year.

They're kids, and they are making a huge decision, so some of them are going to screw up on ocassion. I'm pretty certain that anyone that knows recruiting and who is halfway level headed, knows that these sorts of things can change in the blink of an eye. It's the folks that feel they A-L-W-A-Y-S have point a worst case scenario every time that anything positive is even spoken about the NC State BB program, those are the people that I get upset about. <br /><br />It's like every time you hear someone says something like, "John Doe says he likes NC State and the Coaches as well", you can then rest assured that some douchebag is going to jump right up and respond with a "Nah uh, does not! We don't have a chance with him. Two years ago he said he liked so and so better."redfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617956589718862241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-33037522362258403412009-09-15T16:12:32.330-04:002009-09-15T16:12:32.330-04:00Great news...I hope Luke decides to sign on the do...Great news...I hope Luke decides to sign on the dotted line in November.<br /><br />Go Pack!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-84854326554298151172009-09-15T16:07:20.501-04:002009-09-15T16:07:20.501-04:00i see errors on packpride all the time.

PackPride put up an article from their interview last night. That is all he has to go on and PackPride is not big on calling guys on a frequent basis to see if there has been any change. I can respect that. I take up for WPH on PP all the time, but I've got to take up for PP here as I don't see where James is denying anything about this article. He stated clearly that they interviewed Luke last night and that he was open and had no leader. Obviously that could have changed. Also, I don't remember James saying definitively that Ryan Harrow was going to end up at WOG. I could be wrong about that, but if I recall they took the same stance as WPH (ie - we don't think this is going to happen, but we have to at least mention it). Anyway, I love both sites. Keep up the good work guys.<br /><br />P.S. - for all the guys complaining about the poor grammar and spelling over here, there was an article on PP the other day talking about how "dominate" we were against Murray State. Should have been "dominant".
