Somehow nc state fans will find a reason to be angry about this and state that recruiting this kid is somehow cheating.

Very odd that a 6 ft 8 basketball player has no recruiting profile or highlights.

Me misreading and thinking it said Jonathan Bender. Figured he had eligibility left since he skipped college

There seems to be a lot of questions by the press over eligibility etc. The Wade haters will always hate him. I'm more inclined to wait and see how he does. If it's like the last time he was here, then we will be fine. He's a smart coach
