Pack recruit reopens search

NC State cannot continue to cry about changing coaches every few years and expect to improve the situation. Although Sidney does not have a lot of college coaching experience, I am sure he has been around the sport long enough to get this program going in a positive direction. Although Herb did get us to the tournament, he did not have what it takes to get us over the hump. We would have continued to make tournament only to lose in first or second round just like Arizona St will do this year. Sidney inherited a team that was good in Herb's eyes but not deep enough to maintain with a new system that Sidney is trying to develop. In Herb's 10 years, he never used his full 13 scholorships. Every year when we would have an injury, we would hear Herb say "We hardly have enough players to conduct practice". When I questioned Herb about this he responded that, "We do not use up all of our scholarships just to use them". my question is , Is there not anyone in the world that is good enough to earn a scholarship to NC State so that we can have a full squad? That was one problem with Herb. The other problem was that when Herb left we had no guards on the team. He had a commitment from Chris Wright and along with the other recruits Herb had coming it may have been OK in his system. However when Sidney arrived we had no depth at quard play and that is what is wrong with us right now. guard is the most critical position on the court and our obvious shortage and inexperience here right now is killing us. Look at all the schools with so-so personnel but great guard play and you will see how important this factor is. When Sidney did have Atsur, we got to the finals of the ACC Tourney. Give Sidney time to get his recruits in here and have quality depth, along with his system and you will see positive results. It does not help when you fair weather fans start screaming for a change after only three years coaching and two years recruiting. We have the coaching staff in place, who all bleed red and white as much or even more than ourselves. Lets give them time to bring their type players in, who fit into their system,not Herb's system, and then judge the results.

I just found out that the N.I.T. does not want NC State either. Davidson was chosen. Hey, Sidney I think it might be best that you keep bags packed from the trip to Georgia and take the Red eye back to the NBA, if they want you back. Thanks N.I.T. for not continuing the Misery. If he can't plead his case to make it to the N.I.T, how can he get any descent recruits...... looking gloom.... Man, I would love to see Bobby Knight as the Head Coach. He has mentioned that he was not retiring but just needed a break. At Indiana, he had made some remarks about how annoying it was to hear about Dean Smith and that Baby Blue all the time. I was just wondering how competive the game would be between State and Carolina, with him storming the sideline. We could really support the Armed forces with GENERAL Bob Knight and Major Tom O' Brien at State. Tom O'Brien was a Major  in the Marines and you know Bobby Knight is called the General. His teams are discipled and will give 100 percent. I'mage him and Mike going at it in Cameron.. Yes. I would take him in an instant.

all you all wanted herb gone! now he's gone so how many times you been in ncaa tourney since he been gone?! you had a very good coach and ran him off! as the old saying goes what comes around goes around?

How many years did Matt Doherty last as coach at UNC.....3 years. It is obvious that Sidney Lowe's NBA style coaching does not work at the college level. There have also been college coaches (John Calipari and Rick Pitino) who have proven that the college style coaching does not work in the NBA. Sid has tried hard to make it work, but it isn't working and the program needs a change. The signs are: we are losing year after year, we can't get recruits, and there seems to be a lack of team cohesiveness (McCauley was in trouble with Sid early in the season, Degand did something that got him benched, Mays went into excile for some reason. The program needs a change at the leadership ship level.....the coach.

AAU insiders let me know that Wall probably will not even take the SAT. He is off to Europe with a one year contract and close to a $1M deal with Nike.
Ink may be dry as a matter of fact.
All signs point that he will be the #1-5 draft choice in '10.
He would defenitely be the 1 this year if T Griffin did not come out and Wall could be drafted.

Javi was not a transfer from Tennessee. That was Marques Johnson. Get your facts straight. We've already lost Favors, Cousins, possibly Leslie, and probably Wall. If he can't recruit players that he wants, that means he'll have to settle. That won't bode well for his future with the program. Give him a chance, but make sure he knows he has to get it done. Everybody also talks about coaching, but what about Fowler? He hasn't proved that he knows what he's doing either! If Lowe goes, so should Fowler.

This guy looks pretty tall in the photo and maybe he decision to verbal commit was just too early. Just wait until you senior year or junior year with the earliest notification of your decision. He do have a right to reconsider. You got to see what the recruiting process and visits are about first.

Way to Sidney Lowe, You have lost one recruit {Favors} and now possibly two with Leslie. I just hope Lee Fowler is staying atop of this and maybe smells the coffee. You can also forget about John Wall. Do all of the Wolfpack nation a favor and hit the road.... ASAP.

that sid has got to go.....i'm giving 5-1 odds that he won't get Wall either!!!
