Interesting that the star player at NC State is Madison Hayes. The star player at Tennessee this year was also a former MSU player! Damn, there was some talent here at one point.

I noticed that too and Rickea Jackson will be a top 3-5 pick in the wnba draft.. our women's program was really big at one point. If Purcell can somehow get Van lith and go grab a few more talented girls out of the portal I think we can get back there
Vics recruiting talent is all over the place. Matharu at UF and a player at AU and I'm sure some more.
Matharu went and played a year at Texas with Vic but transferred outQuote:

Sadly, many folks would be shocked at how common this is across all college athletics. Too many on middle school reading and writing levels, at best.Quote:

My sister taught at a Junior college. She taught English 101. She let me read some the mid term papers that she was grading. I was shocked and astonished how bad the grammar was. She said that she should fail everyone but her higher ups wouldn?t let her.
I'm an NC State fan for the first game tonight. Then hope Iowa wins it all.
They need to qualify for college first though.Quote:

That piece of paper only means so much now.
Yes, I agree they "NEED" to qualify but let's be realistic here; how many student athletes, especially the more gifted ones, actually "QUALIFY" according to normal college standards?Quote:
