Doesnt appear to have the 'jump shot' or the PG skill set to be drafted right now

A season at Brewster could change that, but most think he needs a year or two of college to even get a serious look from an NBA team. Even then, he could serious time in the Gleague. Shot is really in need of some work.

nryanh94, what have you heard about who Lecque picks on Oct.2?

Stormy, do you think Lecque ends up running with the Pack as well on the 2nd of Oct.?

Feel free to delete mine I made my point and don't care to waste the effort to argue.

With that said Dunlow what're your thoughts on Henry Coleman, the kid reminds me of a slightly less athletic and shorter Bam Adebayo. Or a more athletic Richard Howell. Just seems physically dominant and like he has an unrelenting motor. What kind of prospect do you see him being?

Stretch 4. Better shooter than I realized. Bigger version of Jericole Hellems

The most severe claim, per the initial notice of allegations sent to Ollie and the school on Friday that was obtained by ESPN, is a Level I unethical conduct charge for Ollie, who the NCAA alleges provided false or misleading information about phone calls between NBA legend Ray Allen, San Antonio Spurs guard Rudy Gay and a top recruit.

The NCAA also said Ollie falsely denied he had knowledge of professional trainer and friend Derek Hamilton's workouts with players.

Per the initial notice of allegations, Ollie was charged with multiple violations (providing unfair recruiting benefits, exceeding limits on practice times, failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance, failing to monitor players' outside workouts) that would all fall under a coaching responsibility violation.



Ollie is specifically accused of arranging a five-star recruit's phone calls with Allen and Gay; having impermissible contact with a recruit; providing impermissible meals to a pair of recruits during unofficial visits; shooting with a recruit during an unofficial visit; failing to monitor Hamilton, who the NCAA alleged violated rules by training UConn players on campus and near his home in Atlanta; and giving Hamilton tickets to a UConn-South Florida football game, an NCAA violation because Hamilton's son was a recruitable prospect at the time, per the NCAA.

Kinda confirms some of the things we thought may be going on at UConn...and this was the head coach and a very public, big 'name' hire.

Dude should have bolted for the NBA when he had the chance. Got fired AND lost the buyout money



you never mess up the buy out money.......

Sounds like a typical recruit interaction at unc-cheats. The biases in NCAA enforcement make competition a complete farce.

and despite the FSU buzz, still think we are in a good spot with Patrick Williams.

Gimme Lecque and Williams, then replace whoever we may lose after the season with our annual awesome transfer in, and that would start to look like a program on the verge of competing at the highest level.

Well Hot Damn.

Keatts on the verge of landing his first potential elite five-star in just his first full recruiting cycle here. Have to think that it also sets us up well for that next big domino as well.

Love it. Lucky Strutter is around this site or I might not even know about Lecque.

Honestly, none of that really sounds bad at all...

THIS is what the NCAA chooses to get it's panties in a wad about? Some phone calls, workouts, meals, and giving football tickets to a friend. Meanwhile decades of academic fraud and lying to keep kids eligible gets a pass. Unreal.

Damn. Cold blooded.

This is what they can prove. There is most likely a lot more that went on that the NCAA is aware of, but cant prove.

Have not seen this kid yet but I hope to this BBall season. Farmville also had Tyler Maye(transfer from VCU) a couple of years ago. Lot of talent coming through that area right now with UNC commit Dayron Sharpe nearby at South Central

There you go..........win and Ollie is still the coach. UConn, IMO, likely reported some of that stuff themselves so they could fire Ollie 'with cause' and keep the buyout money to hire Hurley.

Everybody keeps saying Wendell Moore is going to Duke...................except Wendell Moore.



Taking a lot longer to decide than most Duke people thought he would. I like this approach by Moore and family. Even if they decide on Duke, give them credit for allowing Coach Keatts and Coach Manning the opportunity.

Moore has been considered a UNC or Duke lock for 2 years now but State and Wake still fighting the good fight.

Per source, 6'0 Breon Pass (Reidsville) has just been offered by NC State

Dun,

My one bball contact says it's not as positive for Williams. The one positive is 2 hours is much better than 7.

Yes, Im much more connected to the football program. I hadn't talked to my bball guy in a while.

Dun, do you believe Moore truly hasn't made up his mind yet? That would seem to be a good thing based on everyone saying he's going to Duke

I have thought Moore was a Duke Lock since the day they offered him and have been a bit surprised at the way this one has taken shape over the last month or so.

Still, most think Duke gets him especially since they missed on Antoine and James.

But people from all sides agree on one thing...Coach Keatts hit a home run with the OV and caused Moore and family to slow the process down a little. We may have no real shot here, not sure if his mind is made up or not...that being said, seems like a great sign that we have the right man doing the recruiting at NCSU.
