I'd think we want dawgs

3/18/2026 4:47:26 PM

I just want to score more points than the other guys.

3/18/2026 4:48:58 PM

I want some true centers on the roster. I’m talking goofy looking 6-11 to 7-2 dudes that look like newborn giraffe babies when walking around campus that magically turn into graceful adult giraffes when they get a basketball in their hands. Need some true front court guys that are nasty and rebound like they want to rip not only the ball but the arms off the opposing guy trying to get the rebound. Enough with the small ball.

It sounds like Zymicah is planning on returning....

Quote :

"The hope for any freshman coming in is to make an immediate impact, but it was clear Wilkins would need time to develop in Wade's system before making a difference. Wilkins never doubted the plan and instantly got to work. "This season's been great for me," Wilkins said. "Since Day 1, I knew exactly what I needed to do -- work. I've gotten closer with the guys here, put in the work on and off the court and get ready to make a difference next year.""

Is Wade returning??

3/20/2026 1:39:10 PM

Interesting read on Wilkins. I assumed he was too short but the article says 6’-9”.

3/21/2026 10:41:07 PM

To hell with this team. Shut down the ESA RBC PNC Lenovo Center

I saw that Able posted his pic on the socials with 2Pac's "Holla At Me". He's gone (not suprisingly)

3/27/2026 1:00:05 PM

Hell we probably have a better chance of keeping him now that Wade is gone.

crap boobs crap

3/27/2026 2:02:45 PM

When are we going to find out if all the current and committed players aren't coming back?

4/1/2026 2:26:57 PM

^It appears the returning guys will likely be McNeil, Cloer, Wilkins, and Kontuniemi

4/1/2026 2:36:56 PM

I guess I'd be pretty happy with that, although I was really hoping Able would decide to stick around, but certainly can't blame him. No Carter-Givins?

4/1/2026 2:42:34 PM

Able is supposedly headed to Miami and Carter-Givens is a west coast guy that was recruited through one of Slater’s contacts so you can scratch him off the list too

In another thread, I gave Gemini a chance to coach the team.
Let's see if Gemini can avoid another red reckoning and drive the marketing as well.

4/2/2026 2:07:08 PM

Cloer says he’s portaling but still may return (which probably means he’s gone). Supposedly he was going to have a huge NIL next year, maybe more than Gainey is willing to pay a freshman rehabbing an injury?

4/3/2026 5:23:10 PM

spot on analysis imo

4/3/2026 7:18:01 PM

My analysis says he will play at NC State next year, unless he ends up playing somewhere else

4/3/2026 7:30:13 PM

If that analysis were butter, you'd be on a roll

Sttexan: thank you

He could transfer and still play at NC State next year if his team is on our schedule. Or he could not transfer and he’ll play at State and likely play in games at other campuses too. Lots of possibilities here.

4/3/2026 8:12:41 PM

i mean i'm not even gonna google a mind blowing up GIF right now. we all know what is going on here

4/3/2026 10:12:55 PM

NCSTATE twitter is already in doomer-mode because the portal is open and Gainey has no one on staff as of yet. Like anything matters in college basketball anymore

4/7/2026 8:35:22 AM

Lol. Didn’t they already announce somebody was staying from the previous staff and Gainey is brining one from Tennessee? Maybe not officially announced. Idk. Seems like nothing to freak out over.

4/7/2026 11:22:27 AM

Able entered the portal and declared for the draft and said NC State is still an option [OLD]

4/7/2026 11:24:49 AM

The portal has been open for hours and we have no new players!!!!!!

Kinda sounds like an ayatollah name

Ayatollah Ali Kontuniemi

4/7/2026 9:33:25 PM

He is Finnish

4/7/2026 9:54:28 PM

Finnish-ed at NC State, that's for sure!!!!!!!!

!!

4/7/2026 11:04:37 PM

^^weird that's almost what he said to Coach Gainey!!!!!



[Edited on April 7, 2026 at 11:06 PM. Reason : "I am finish" he said]

4/7/2026 11:05:21 PM

I can't think of any more right now........


.......I'M FINNISH

4/7/2026 11:09:12 PM

I'm finnish and I don't even get the joke.

4/7/2026 11:24:34 PM

Could all just be a misunderstanding. Jayme was introducing himself to coach. But coach was like “oh he said he’s finished guess he’s portaling”. Not ready to rule out the possibility.

4/8/2026 6:44:57 AM

Well fuck. Was really hoping PM would stay. So far I think everybody has said (at least the good players) that they are open to returning to State. But that just feels like a leverage thing. You don’t wanna rule anybody out when they can offer you more money.

4/8/2026 11:38:42 AM

Yeah, seems like everyone would enter the portal with the chance to return when a coach leaves. Why not?

4/8/2026 11:43:23 AM

Sucks to hear about Able and McNeill. Wonder if they will both get offered too much money for us to match?

4/8/2026 1:03:06 PM

Able is most likely a Miami Hurricane. He was committed there till Wade poached him. Think he will be there unless he unwisely dips to the NBA
