C.J. Leslie, Ryan Harrow and Lorenzo Brown teamed up with CJ Williams in the N.C. ProAm last night in Durham and gave the Wolfpack fans in attendance a bit of a preview of what to expect in the coming season. While it might be a pick up game preview, it still counts for something. We […]
Looking ahead: 2010 Defensive Line
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m ready to talk football. The basketball hype has gotten to be a little much and there isn’t a lot more to say about Debbie Yow, at least not yet. During the next few weeks leading up to Sept. 4 we’ll be taking a closer look at the […]
N.C. Pro-Am kicks off with a bang, sort of
In the first game of the 2010 N.C. Pro-Am Thursday night Tracy Smith got to team up with incoming freshman CJ Leslie and two NC State recruits, Rodney Purvis and Joseph Uchebo. The four put on a show — Leslie and Smith both scored 20+ points — but fell to Team Hendrick of Durham in […]
Looking at Yow’s legacy from the other side
There has been plenty of discussion about Debbie Yow’s arrival at NC State and what she plans and hopes to do with the NC State athletic program. There hasn’t, however, been much intelligent discussion of Yow’s legacy at Maryland after 16 years of service. Of course there has been the generic message board “response” from […]
Yow makes good first impression
Debbie Yow made her first remarks as NC State’s director of athletics Friday a little after 2, and from initial reaction most people were quite pleased with what they heard. The straight talking Yow talked openly about her goals for NC State athletics and did not mince words about those goals being accomplished. She talked […]
So wait, is Russell Wilson coming back?
I understand Russell Wilson’s decision on how to proceed with his future is hugely important to the 2010 football team, but this has almost gotten laughable. How many times — and ways — will both Wilson and Tom O’Brien have to talk about his plans in the fall? How many different ways can they both […]
Russell Wilson reaches agreement with Rockies
Saw this first on Backing the Pack so I must give credit there. The following article, from Inside the Colorado Rockies, discusses the signing and what the next step will be for Russell. It looks like he’s going to have quite a busy summer. The key word in the entire release from the web site […]
AD search narrows, six left standing
Obviously there is much more to this story than the reports out tonight, but tonight’s development is still worth discussing, even if it’s briefly. Multiple sources confirmed to Jeff Graveley (WRAL) and others Wednesday that the list of possible AD candidates has been narrowed to six. Nevermind the fact that Chancellor Woodson asked for three […]
Uchebo officially enrolls at Word of God
Just a few days after being dismissed from the team at Oak Ridge Military Academy, 2011 big man Joseph Uchebo has landed much closer to the NC State campus to finish out his high school career. Uchebo enrolled at Word of God Academy and will look to graduate in the spring of 2011. It is […]
ACC’s expansion plan isn’t much of a plan
“Opportunities never come to those who wait. They are captured by those who dare to attack.” This quote pretty much sums up what the ACC is doing right now with regards to expansion. A whole lot of nothing. It’s a shame too, because I definitely think the ACC has — or maybe had — the […]
