Which kids from la do you think we land? Bridgewater seems like he's going zona and Martin fancies himself a Lou-uh-vul man. Do they just not know JoJo or are they too cool to stick around?

we'll see. put the press on Martin, Bridgewater, and Jones. I don't think Bridgewater is gonna end up an Arizona level recruit.

turner will not do much at nc. state. he struggled all year last year outside of 2 games. lazy defender and when his shot is off is a waste on the court.

Gottfried is doing a nice job at NC State. They have a lot of positive buzz here in Raleigh. Good luck to Turner.

I really doubt he is ever more than a role player in the acc. He might be good at that though and just come off the bench and drop some threes.

probably

i wonder why a guy that started here would want to get less playing time somewhere else.

Good luck to him. Can't imagine he'd succeed in the ACC after such a falloff in the SEC.

Maybe he wanted to play for a better than average coach.

I wish him well at NC State, but this helps clear a spot off the roster of a player who was a big underachiever this past season. I think Shavon Coleman will be a definite upgrade here.

I think we granted full release so no dice on the sitting out part

He could have found a role on this team, but he was really going to have to turn it up a notch. He had three guys signed at his spot, the 2/3. To boot, those guys seem to be versatile/playmakers from that spot. Turner as a shooter proved to be a one trick pony in his two seasons.

yeah, i could see him hitting a few threes in transition but thats about it and probably will be his ceiling at nc state.


if he's gonna transfer best to do it now and not mope another year with only 1 left to play.
