YES DELETE THAT POST ASAP

Jk

So yea when you have a chance to get two of the best players from a team that went 2-17 you absolutely MUST do it.

Jk hopefully these pieces are better than the whole they were a part of

"NC State has landed yet another high-profile transfer out of the portal in former Louisville guard Mike James. The 6-foot-5, 200-pound guard committed to the Wolfpack moments ago and adds to an already star-studded class that includes Dontrez Styles and Brandon Huntley-Hatfield. The sophomore guard is coming off a season in which he averaged 12.6 points and 5.0 rebounds with a nearly 40 percent shooting clip. He's shot 35 percent over the last two years combined from behind the arc with Louisville and was the team's third-leading scorer and rebounder last season."

Should transfers be in the Recruiting Thread???

4/23/2024 2:14:13 PM

Maybe we should start a NC State transfer portal recruiting thread

4/23/2024 2:49:05 PM

So he’s a PG?

Can we just one single “SPORTS” thread and contain all sports talk within that?

4/23/2024 4:43:38 PM

Diarra going pro

4/24/2024 4:49:44 PM

He declared for the NBA Draft... that really doesn't mean anytihng, right? He can come back at any time?

4/24/2024 4:56:11 PM

His announcement sounded pretty definitive about being done with school.

Some things never change. We lose a guy prematurely to the “nba draft” (probably just gonna play in Europe). UNC gets RJ Davis back for like a 6th fucking year instead of him pursuing a professional career.

4/24/2024 5:13:29 PM

^^he said something along the lines of being 100% focused on his professional career, which i took to mean that he was gone regardless of if he is drafted into the NBA.

^RJ Davis is like MAYBE 6 feet tall. You have to be really, really good to be a pro basketball player at normal people height. You only have to be really good if you are nearly 7 feet tall.

4/24/2024 5:39:35 PM

maybe someone has some NIL money to get him back instead of going to France or Italy

4/24/2024 5:52:32 PM

It's probably best if you just accept that he's gone.

4/24/2024 6:13:22 PM

^^^ yeah I get that Davis definitely isn’t an nba prospect. And that he’ll make more nil next year than he would professionally. Theyre different situations. I was just doing the lazy thing of “UNC always gets dudes to come back an extra year and we never do”

4/24/2024 7:10:37 PM

Sucks losing him but I think some of his rebounding stats could have been a little padded by Burns & Middlebrooks being not so good rebounders. And next season we will have BHH who almost averaged double digit rebounds at UL so maybe Mo doesn't keep putting up those same #'s next season if he stays? Plus the dudes gonna be 24 next year and he's probably just trying to move on with his life (Euro career).

4/24/2024 9:58:45 PM

Ok so this make more sense, because MO is an international player, he can't get NIL money.


so no way to lure him back, unless laws are changed. maybe go old school pay him under the table or through another player. NCAA ain't doing shit to people these days

4/25/2024 9:25:47 AM

It's already been discussed, but he and other international dudes are still getting paid through legal workarounds. I'm sure we could have paid him as much or more than a lower level Euro league team next season but it sounds like he just wants to be back overseas and move on with his life since he's been in the US for several years now (since prep school) and he's almost 24 years old.

A tale as old as time...

4/25/2024 10:24:59 AM

Didn’t realize he was 24!

4/25/2024 12:25:57 PM

The same age as Maverick Rowan when he was in 8th grade

4/25/2024 2:59:00 PM

PG - MOC, Pass, Tre Parker
G - Jayden Taylor, Paul McNeil, Marcus Hill
SF - Dontrez Styles, Dennis Parker Jr, MJ Rice, Mike James
PF -
C - Brandon Huntley Hatfield, Middlebrooks

Seems like we have a lot of potentially interchangeable pieces at the 2/3 positions. Lots of possible combinations. And I think we can expect to see lineups with Hill at the point. Pass will definitely have the opportunity to play some legit minutes next year. Pass is limited clearly, but I think he’s capable of giving us 10 ish solid minutes a night. Styles, D Parker, even Rice could play small ball 4 but I don’t think that’s the ideal situation.

4/25/2024 8:16:44 PM

I'm hearing James and Hill both just decommitted after seeing DMS depth chart

4/25/2024 9:46:16 PM

I did it to motivate them. It’s gotta be earned!!!

4/26/2024 6:23:13 AM

Crazy that with Mo gone, there would have been a shot for Ross to get minutes at the 4 this season... I hope we get one more solid big man.

4/26/2024 9:30:13 AM

We should be able to get somebody better than Ross in the portal. He just wasn’t ACC caliber.

4/26/2024 10:33:09 AM

Yeah it's quite telling who his list of interested schools is. Maybe we can flip Dowuona from JMU. LOLOLOL jk he was just as bad if not worse.

4/26/2024 11:18:01 AM

Excited for the upcoming season
