BJD called this a while ago. I sure hope they both come back. This is like a nightmare.
The rules have changed. Every player who thinks they have a chance to sniff the pros ever should be in the draft right now.
I agree with pakfanistan. I’m fine with Anya going in. Hopefully he hears from the NBA people a validation of what our coaches have been telling him.
I agree, I like the new rule, and no reason not to use it. I’ll be surprised if either Beejay or Abu don’t come back. Hopefully Beejay will realize what he needs to do to make himself draftable.

Grilled chicken breast, brocolli and brown rice + Free throws = first round pick.
^First round pick === more money than you can imagine.
Hard for me to comprehend, maybe because I never competed at that level. When I was that age, if I had a shot at the NBA, I would have eaten dog sh*t for every meal if my coach told me it would help…

And a side order of rebounding.
As expected, Cat received an invitation to the NBA draft combine. Equally expected, Beejay and Abu did not.
Cat deserves that look. The others know they are not quite there yet. There is potential but work to do. Hopefully Cat can claw to a good team for him.

Hopefully this turns into a win/win for the guys and the team. They now know what they need to do to improve their chances for a pro future, and if they follow through the team should benefit from that work.
Abu also has a workout next week with the Timberwolves, so he should get some good feedback there as well.
Welp.
NC State forward Abdul Malik-Abu told ESPN he is “seriously considering transferring or hiring an agent.”

That makes no sense. He was not even invited to the combines. He was not only going to start he was going to be showcased with a great PG. Something is broken in that program.
This is well beyond absurd. I think Abu had a two year plan when he enrolled and since it didn’t work out it must be Gott”s fault for using him the wrong way. He needs all four years to even sniff the NBA draft. We shall see how this unfolds.

How many players have to sprint away from our program before we stop blaming the players?
Some rather thick skulls around these parts. Don’t know how much more evidence one needs in this case. It’s beyond ridiculous and Gott needs to be shown the door. But we are NC State and never do the prudent thing. I tell ya, I’m hoping for a 12th place finish in conference play, but that could be tough.

Three more this off season.
wowza, something is not right in West Raleigh these days. poor DSJ, is it too late to let him out of his LOI since he was on the team this year? I mean seriously, Abu is set to be the primary beneficiary of the top incoming PG in the country next year and he still wants out?
Our basketball program is a f’n joke. I got one year of eligibility left. Wonder if they would take a 32 year old fat a$$? I can help boost the GPA 🙂
If Abu leaves, we’re f*cked. We were already f*cked but you get my point.
This is beginning to remind me of the scene in Hoosiers where Coach Dale and his 6 players are standing in front of an angry student body who are chanting “We want Jimmy, we want Jimmy”, and he tells them “This is your team!” This time they are chanting “We want Archie, we want Archie.”
Holy cow, this is incredibly bad
Really…? If he did say that, I’d take some of that indecision out of his hands with transfer releases by 3:00 this afternoon.
I don’t even know who he is but I have read from many a State poster that J. Goodman is a complete d-bag concerning all things red & white. Are we sure Abu really said this??
CD^ i just want to clarify. are you saying you would serve him his release this afternoon and tell him to go ahead and pack his bags?
I’ve been vocal of my opinion of Gott. I’ve also thought for a while that Abu was gone if he heard ANYTHING remotely good from a NBA team (one would think not being invited to the combine would have been clearly the opposite).
Having said that, I don’t put much stock in a Tweet. This isn’t saying anything about Goodman and his relationship with our fanbase or anything else, it’s more just the medium, lack of context, any sort of validation that Abu actually said that, etc.. Shrugs. It’s just a Tweet.
Now as for who is on the team next year, all bets are off until the balls roll out for fall practice. That includes players leaving and ones coming. We’ve seemingly got the coaching staff for next season locked in.
Everything I have heard was Abu had a 2 year idea in his head. HE also already thinks in his mind he is NBA ready. Not sure if that is the potential money talking or not. The part I would find interesting would be if he transferred. If he goes to the NBA it says more about him. If he transfers (waiting a year to play, which extends his potential entry into the NBA by a year) it says more about our program and coaches.
I believe this to be a 50/50 situation. 50% in players head. He thinks he is better than he is. 50% the giant CF our program is right now.

.Crystal clear. If true, and that’s a big if, “Here’s your papers.”
Huge breach to flap to media, IF the tweet was accurate.
