Are you seriously suggesting that Wake Forest and NC State are big draws in the landscape of college basketball? Or are you saying a mid-major program is the way to go here?

Any listener of the latest edition of TSIO Podcast re: the LA schools will understand that no matter what built in recruiting advantages you have, if you don't have coaching that a) improves and b) maximizes the talent on hand, you'll never reach your full potential.
As for NC State, they've proven that they can get a) the recruits and b) develop the players if they have the right coach to get the ultimate reward. As for Washington, they've never proven that that mix exists. That's not an opinion ... that's a fact.
That's not saying that that isn't possible at Washington ... but at this point, the odds are very, very long on Romar.

The only thing that getting high end recruits is doing is further highlighting how terrible of a coach Romar is. It's one thing to say you can't get results because you can't get the recruits. But when you sell your soul to get the recruits and you still can't win ...

All the last thirty years of NC State history has proven is that the state of NC can only support two great programs. As soon as Duke ascended State faded into bolivian. Duke ain't going anywhere.
UW isn't going to be great under Romar, but the path to greatness at UW is a lot more open than at NC State. If State ever hires a great coach he's gonna run out of Carolina and Duke's shadow as quickly as he can. If UW ever hires a great coach there's at least a chance they keep him.
These are all fantastic arguments which are really enjoyable to watch after a month of being gone, however none cover the real point. Romar can recruit, who the fuck cares about NC state, and the reality is that if romar can't learn how to manage a roster to mix upper classmen with stud frosh/soph than it doesn't matter how great his nba resume is. Romar should get bbq'd for lack of roster mgt, lack of in game mgt, lack of understanding of how he's actually coachign for the NCAA tourney and not NCAACP man of the year, however that may get lost in the wash.
Bringing in all this high talent will be a joy to watch providing they aren't TW dickheads. If they are talented good guys I will enjoy watching their skills and bid them fairwell after one year. Then, rinse, cycle repeat.
Until romar can figure out how to put a game plan together, fix his roster composition and not run guys off after one year, then UW will make more runs. Until then just be happy we have some really good players to enjoy watching while going .500 or less in the pac12

The Duke/NC State comparison isn't at all apples to oranges ... not to mention that Duke went to a Final Four in 1978 in between NC State's National Championships. That doesn't even go to the point that Duke at this point really is a national program in how they recruit (they've laid the blueprint for how Stanford is doing for football).

Right, because going to a Final 4 once is the same as becoming a top 3 premier national program. Duke pre-K was nothing like Duke now.
And the point isn't that Duke recruits in-state kids. The point is that NC State is an after thought in their own state. If they ever hire a great coach he may have some short term success but he's going to go somewhere where he has a chance to build something better than third in his own state.

What is your first comment even referencing?
I'm not trying to suggest that I have the pulse of North Carolina dialed in ... surely you have more of an ear to the ground.
What I'm suggesting is that programs that have shown that they CAN compete at a high level have the underlying infrastructure to be able to do it again IF they get the right pieces in place. NC State falls into that category to me.
Gottfried has gotten to 4 NCAAs in 5 years at NC State and played on the 2nd weekend 2 of those 4 years. I'm not convinced that he's an elite coach but his track record isn't that unreasonable either.
Another example in the ACC that I'd throw into the category of NC State is Virginia. Virginia's shown an ability to have some high end programs (never reaching the heights of NC State) but also waffled for much of the 30 years from the end of Sampson to Bennett (a decent period in the late 80s into the early 90s not withstanding).
The reality is that IF you get the right coach in place, and you can put the right infrastructure behind the right coach, you'll win at a high level.

As for NC State, they've proven that they can get a) the recruits and b) develop the players if they have the right coach to get the ultimate reward. As for Washington, they've never proven that that mix exists. That's not an opinion ... that's a fact.
That's not saying that that isn't possible at Washington ... but at this point, the odds are very, very long on Romar.
Since then, you've moved the goal posts AND invoked your faggy podcast.
You wanna keep going, or are we done here?
There are plenty of good players from North Carolina ... this kid may or may not be one of them.
Forget about any of your comments regarding NC State (that have been proven to be factually incorrect) because they really aren't the point of anything here.
The reality is that Romar's never proven an ability to do anything with talent and that's really all that matters.
The only thing that getting high end recruits is doing is further highlighting how terrible of a coach Romar is. It's one thing to say you can't get results because you can't get the recruits. But when you sell your soul to get the recruits and you still can't win ...
UW isn't going to be great under Romar, but the path to greatness at UW is a lot more open than at NC State. If State ever hires a great coach he's gonna run out of Carolina and Duke's shadow as quickly as he can. If UW ever hires a great coach there's at least a chance they keep him.
Bringing in all this high talent will be a joy to watch providing they aren't TW dickheads. If they are talented good guys I will enjoy watching their skills and bid them fairwell after one year. Then, rinse, cycle repeat.
Until romar can figure out how to put a game plan together, fix his roster composition and not run guys off after one year, then UW will make more runs. Until then just be happy we have some really good players to enjoy watching while going .500 or less in the pac12
@FreeChavez is absolutely right though that the point and focus is on the fact that Romar won't do anything with this anyway. We already know that.
It's amusing to me that one small joke of a comment sent @dnc and @ThomasFremont down a rat hole. It's like they've been drinking the same soda that Chest has recently.
And the point isn't that Duke recruits in-state kids. The point is that NC State is an after thought in their own state. If they ever hire a great coach he may have some short term success but he's going to go somewhere where he has a chance to build something better than third in his own state.
I don't argue with you about Texas HS football because I know you're way more dialed in on that. State of NC hoops is my fucking wheelhouse. Embarrass yourself at your own risk.
HTH
I'm not trying to suggest that I have the pulse of North Carolina dialed in ... surely you have more of an ear to the ground.
What I'm suggesting is that programs that have shown that they CAN compete at a high level have the underlying infrastructure to be able to do it again IF they get the right pieces in place. NC State falls into that category to me.
Gottfried has gotten to 4 NCAAs in 5 years at NC State and played on the 2nd weekend 2 of those 4 years. I'm not convinced that he's an elite coach but his track record isn't that unreasonable either.
Another example in the ACC that I'd throw into the category of NC State is Virginia. Virginia's shown an ability to have some high end programs (never reaching the heights of NC State) but also waffled for much of the 30 years from the end of Sampson to Bennett (a decent period in the late 80s into the early 90s not withstanding).
The reality is that IF you get the right coach in place, and you can put the right infrastructure behind the right coach, you'll win at a high level.
