It started with this, and today we got more great for NC State Basketball:

Obviously, the events of this week serve to completely change the outlook for NC State Basketball for at least the 2016-2017 season. The roster remains unbalanced with scholarship spacing and quality depth amongst upperclassmen — a state of operations that now has to be accepted as annual fact for Mark Gottfried since it happens every single year. State’s could easily lose 6 of our top 8 players after next year — but, for now, Mark Gottfried appears to have scrambled together enough talent to compete for an NCAA Tournament berth in 2017.
A month things looked badddd for State. Since then, added a 3 star guy for depth, 5 star center (if cleared by NCAA), returned Abu. Not bad

It's amazing the difference in team outlook w/ Yurtseven committing and Abu coming back. #getYurt7eligible

I can’t help but love the irony that Wolfpack media enemy #1 had to break the good news! Of course, his tweets always indicate the focus of his thinking — “NC State fans”. Even in good news Goodman’s #1 thought is to lead with a focus on ‘NC State fans’ as opposed to the news of Abu.
