Dominic Woodson, the Rivals No. 2 center in the Class of 2013, visited N.C. State for Midnight Madness this past weekend and heads to Baylor and then Oklahoma next.
“It was good,” the 6-foot-10 1/2, 295-pound Woodson told SNY.tv by phone Monday night. “I just chilled, went with the players, met all the coaching staff and just went around the campus and stuff.
As reported earlier today on my Twitter, two of the top prospects in the Class of 2013 — Jabari Parker and Beejay Anya — will take key official visits to ACC schools at the end of October.
The 6-foot-8 Parker, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2013, will take an official visit to Duke the weekend of Oct. 27, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told SNY.tv.
The 6-foot-9, 215-pound power forward from Brewster (N.H.) Academy committed to N.C. State Sunday morning during an official visit.
He also considered Ohio State, Washington and Iowa State.
“Yes, I did,” he told SNY.tv by phone. “Just the coaching staff, a litle bit of new and old school. Larry Farmer, Coach Orlando [Early], Coach [Mark] Gottfried, all those guys are great. To read more of this story, click here
The good news just keeps rolling in for N.C. State and head coach Mark Gottfried.
Two days after securing a verbal pledge from 2013 point guard Anthony “Cat” Barber, N.C. State will learn that freshman guard Rodney Purvis has been “fully cleared” by the NCAA, a source with direct knowledge told SNY.tv.
Purvis was initially ruled ineligible after the NCAA Eligibility Center examed Purvis’ high school coursework at Upper Room Christian Academy, but was cleared after an appeal, which rarely happens. To read more of this story, click here
The Anthony “Cat” Barber Sweepstakes is over and N.C. State is the winner.
The athletic, rugged point guard from Hampton (Va.) picked the Wolfpack over Alabama and Kansas on Saturday.
“N.C. State is the perfect place for me to reach my potential and to compete for ACC championships and a national championship!” Barber, the Rivals No. 3 point guard in the Class of 2013, told the Charlotte Observer by text. “Coach [Mark] Gottfried and [assistant] coach [Rob] Moxley made me believe we can be great.” To read more of this story, click here
Despite a report that Kyle Washington has cut his list to four schools, Brewster Academy coach Jason Smith says six schools remain involved for the 6-foot-9 forward.
N.C. State, Ohio State, Washington, Marquette, Louisville and Iowa State remain in the mix, Smith told SNY.tv Friday morning.
N.C. State transfer Tyler Harris is closing in on a decision about his new destination.
The Long Island native is considering Providence, Temple, South Florida, UAB and Dayton and could decide later this week. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.
The 6-foot-8 Harris, the younger brother of Milwaukee Bucks rookie Tobias Harris, averaged just 1.8 points and 1.2 rebounds as a freshman.
He originally chose N.C. State over St. John’s, Wake Forest, Providence, Iowa, South Florida and UConn.
The news that N.C. State sophomore forward C.J. Leslie will return to campus next year is good for the Wolfpack and bad for everyone else in the ACC.
“He could be the ACC Player of the Year next year,” one ACC assistant coach told SNY.tv.
Leslie averaged 14.7 points and 7.3 rebounds last season as N.C. State made the NCAA Tournament under first-year coach Mark Gottfried for the first time since 2006. There, they beat San Diego State and Georgetown before losing to Kansas in the Sweet 16. To read more of this story, click here
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Take one look at N.C. State’s loaded recruiting class for 2012 and you know they don’t need any immediate help in that area.
The Wolfpack already have three McDonald’s All-Americans in point guard Tyler Lewis, combo guard Rodney Purvis and wing T.J. Warren signed, sealed and delivered.
Yet in the world of recruiting, you can never have enough good publicity and there is no better publicity than a run in the NCAA Tournament.
So N.C. State’s 79-65 victory here over San Diego State — the program’s first NCAA win since Herb Sendek was coach in 2006 — can only help Mark Gottfried’s club on the recruiting front. To read more of this story, click here
