Tough choice. On the one hand, you go to a school that regularly competes for Final 4s. Chances are better than 50% you play in one before 4 year eligibility expires.
On the other hand, you go to a school that has a fan base who would cut off their right hand for an Elite 8, which has occurred about 3 times in NC State history.
Gott’s newest pitch….we do have good flexibility though! You could always transfer if you don’t like it.
I hope he comes but if he asked me my honest opinion, I’d tell him don’t be a fool.
don’t be a fool.
If I were a high schooler with this level of talent, I think it would be hard to deny choosing KU over NCSU especially with the recent track record the Jayhawks have in the NCAA tourney.
The chance of playing time would be roughly equal between the two schools. Both have established starters, and KU also has a sophomore. Probably a better chance at PT here short-term, but KU fans complain none of their guards are true PGs.
Gee whiz, who wants to go to a football conference to play basketball in flyover country. No way I’d want to be stuck in BFE Kansas for four years.
So much for the senior point guard. Tharpe just announced he is transferring. Well, that should seal the deal.
Yeah, the reasonable inference is that Graham is waiting for KS to sort its situation out, and that State is his backup option. Damn it.
I am sure I am being too optimistic but I think he will stay home. Just a gut feeling. Anyway one of his former coaches said he would decide in the next two weeks.
The fat lady is warming up. I’m pretty sure we will know before Monday, and possibly by the end of today. I think we already know, this will just make it official.
Can’t really blame the kid.
*Sarcasm Alert* avert your eyes if you must. But really we have nothing to worry about we just lost a McD AA to transfer which was perfectly fine with 90% of the fan-base about a month ago. So really who cares about Graham we are so stacked at PG we can lose McD AA’s without batting an eye.
What does it matter, ’44? Gott is such a bad coach he wouldn’t have been able to do anything with him anyway. From the way you tell it, Gott couldn’t win with the original Dream Team roster.
All this means is we won’t be hearing you bitch and moan about Gott’s misuse of Graham next year.
The trend in recruiting does not inspire confidence.
Not to mention Gott’s highest ranked class does not have any remaining members after only two years.No Ply, it’s the trend that runs off guys like Lewis and Purvis. You know, by recruiting a Cat Barber.
It’s disconcerting to see a kid toss his hat into the ring at a crap program like Kansas, too.
Seeing Warren leave under suspicious conditions is as disheartening as it gets.
LMAO, thanks for saving me the typing, Dog. Jeebus.
In all seriousness, we DO need to bring in a good PG in the next class now.
Since Gottfried arrived, he not only has signed three straight top 20 recruiting classes, he has also been very close on other top recruits:
2012: Parker (Duke)
2013: Randle (Kentucky)
2014: Graham (Kansas)There is no shame in losing recruits to these schools, especially when at the same time still bringing in strong classes.
After 3 years, the current roster consists of seven 4 stars, two 3 stars (Freeman and Turner), and one Juco All American. I think the man can recruit. And I agree, we really need to get another PG. I’ll be holding my breath every time Cat drives into the lane.
I saw a bird in a tree today, and it was not chirping the NC State fight song. Obviously another telling sign of the Wolfpack’s basketball woes.
^ Funny you should write that, Foose.
Got a Mockingbird off the front porch doing both anthems,as I type.
Now where’d he learn that?

When I looked up the rankings of those 3 classes, I saw a trend. It might just be data scatter or it might not. Let’s see if the 2015 class continues the trend or reverses it.
As someone else already noted, there is no one left from his best class and the accomplishments of that class were rather meager. Accomplishments are always better measuring sticks than subjective rankings.
