The 6-foot-3, 165-pound guard from Raleigh, N.C. reportedly had offers from Ole Miss, LSU, Memphis, Miami, Virginia Tech, Florida State and Clemson.

    Dominique Wilkins, Walt Bellamy, & Sleepy Floyd agree, but the list is damn short. North Carolina is one of the ten most populated US States. They should be shatting out talent.

    Duke and UNC both recruit nationally/internationally.

    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?

    I'll take your answer off the air, Softy.

    I like to throw out NC State as a school that isn't good to try to explain why a kid going to Washington is good even though NC State as a program has accomplished things that UW would shit all over themselves to achieve ... that's what I like to do.

    This is the definition of fucking stupid being fucking stupid ...

    I'm not doubling down you fucktard ... I'm just correcting you on how fucktarded you are ...

    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.

    Your original comment was "any kid that leaves NC sucks."

    Your first problem is taking anything that I say as being 100% serious 100% of the time ...

    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 ...

    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.
