NC STATE WOLFPACK at the DRIVE THRU....I want a BIG MAC, FILET O FISH, and QUARTER POUNDER...also the PYRAMID of SUCCESS by the late LEGEND of WESTWOOD

Former NC STATE player and last years coach Sidney LOWE, who is currently an assistant on DePAUL Alum Ty CORBIN and the Utah JAZZ, was suppose to be the Coach that could put CAROLINA RED back into the MIX as a upper echelon Hoops Squad in the ACC. A late great Jim VALVANO former player and a member of the 1983 Wolfpack National Championship Team had all the makings of a guy that could get them back.

In 2010 he signed arguably the best class in college hoops in SF CJ LESLIE (Word of GOD Christian Academy NC), PG Ryan HARROW (WALTON HS Marietta GA), and Lorenzo BROWN (HARGRAVE Military Academy VA) and all things were go. A slow start derailed a lot of expectations for the WOLFPACK and LOWE was fired and since HARROW has transferred to KENTUCKY Lexington.

In 2011 the WOLFPACK hired Mark GOTTFRIED after chasing VCU's Shaka SMART and the hiring looked descent on paper. As Gottfried took over he has instilled the VALUES of the late great John R. WOODEN of UCLA and Gottfried Roots are their as well. The PYRAMID of SUCCESS hangs in the Basketball Locker Rooms at NC STATE and the WOLFPACK Players have bought in to a tune of an upper half finish in the ACC, the ACC Tourney Semi-Finals, and a SWEET 16 NCAA Tourney appearance for the 2011-12 season.

Now the GOTTFREID Recruiting Machine is in full tilt as he has signed a Top 5 Class and has pretty much sent a message to all that thought NC STATE couldn't get local and national talent because of UNC and DUKE....you can get them and he has delivered three.

Enter Sniper Rodney PURVIS of Upper Room Christian Academy NC rated #20 on the ESPNU Top 100, SF TJ WARREN Brewster Academy NC #29 on the ESPNU Top 100, and PG Tyler LEWIS of 2012 Nation al HS Champion Oak Hill ACADEMY VA rated #44 on the ESPNU Top 100.  Gottfried has used all of his connections and came up BIG as the NC STATE WOLFPACK should be ready to make a huge leap the next few years and challenge the TAR HEELS and DUKIES on the court as well as off.

As for Gottfried keeping everything in perspective and running a good ship....it's all on the WALL in the NC STATE Basketball Locker Room and anything used from the LEGEND of WESTWOOD has to be GOLDEN.
