oh well... :furious3:

oh well... :furious3:

A player who chooses Sidney Lowe over Bruce Pearl isn't smart enough to really help a quality team.

 

[rexvol]

somebody here predicted state, I dont want a 1 year mercenary anyway. Wonder how much NC State paid him? Michael Irvin asked Bobby bowden why he didnt get him to go to FSU. Bobby replied, "You wanted too much money."

 

[Xanny]

No one is reporting that and the press conference isn't until 4. Inside info?

Geez... unless Pearl pulls off a miracle, the class of 2007 for basketball is going to blow. Good thing the Class of 2006 was No. 3 in the nation!

I think we gave it a good shot though.

 

[tclowers23]

Is this for sure? The news conference isn't until 4pm... how do we know already?

 

[Freak]

No official announcement yet. Everyone is talking about the rumors that are going around today about him going to NC State. Where there is smoke, there is usually fire.

I really do believe he decided on NC State a couple weeks ago.

 

[VOL61]

Anyone heard any news? Supposed to announce today. What time? I hope we land him. I feel like we will.


From VolQuest.com

Vol Fan,

Never thought I'd see the day where we would be recruiting people away from the ACC.

He is supposedly picking NC State. He is viewed as a one and done to the NBA. I think the fact that NC State has a coach with NBA experience attributed to his decision. But, still deciding on Lowe instead of Pearl makes me question his intelligence.

 

[Rheaber]

where did you hear this from Rickbol?

 

[therickbol]

Just rumors. Could be wrong. Hope it is inaccurate rumors.

 

[Rheaber]

Volfreak I thought I was the only one starting rumors. Who are your sources?

There is more to it than that, but he is going to NC State.

Of course, I cannot reveal my sources.

 

[VOL61]

If we lose this guy. Who's left out there that Pearl is after? How many scholarships do we have?

 

[Rheaber]

It is funny because I heard that we were almost a lock. Goes to show that you really can't trust what you hear! It would have been border line unbelievable to land this type of recruit as a follow up to last year.

 

[Freak]

I think we have at least 3 scholarships, not positive though.

 

[Freak]

We had a really good shot until NC State came into the picture and emerged as the leader..... out of no where imo.

 

[CSpindizzy]

Check to see if his family is living in a nice, new house...

 

[UT IE 95]

I live in Memphis where Lowe got his NBA "head coach" experience. There is a reason he is no longer in the NBA. But maybe he'll succeed, alah calipari and pitino, but I doubt it.

 

[patrick]

I thought one of the assisant's say they had 4 available.

 

[hvwarrior58]

We have 3, if we want. We may only take 2 and save the last for next year, which is loaded.

 

[emainvol]

if i am not mistaken, we still have a shot at a good (read top 25-30 overall) PF who is big enough that he could play 5. I can't remember what his name is, and I don't have time to scout it. anyone that knows what I am talking about feel free to chime in.
