Interesting Purvis/UConn Article

[Wulfpack]

Thought this was really interesting. Ollie seems like the kind of guy a lot of kids wanna play for.

At the Final Four, Ollie referred to Purvis as “a Ferrari sitting in the garage that I can’t drive.”

Purvis appreciates the compliment but understands there is pressure and expectations now. When he chose UConn last summer, the Huskies were coming off a ban from the 2013 NCAA tournament for previous academic failures.

Now they’re national champions, which is the second time in three years a former N.C. State guard has transferred to the team that won the national title. Ryan Harrow was on Kentucky’s bench in 2012 when the Wildcats won the title.

Purvis said he’s not worried about what anyone else did after they left N.C. State or the pressure to fill Napier’s shoes next season.

Rodney Purvis and Tyler Lewis are probably not our two best recruiting weapons.

So, Tyler Lewis should go ahead and get his finger fitted for Butler’s championship ring?

He’s only a champion in street clothes, much like Ryan Harrow. Buh bye, already.

Hopefully Purvis’ momma will let Kevin Ollie drive his Ferrari in whatever manner he feels is best.

Man, it would be nice if an NC State player could get a ring while still wearing our jersey.
