Coach Wade saying a few words about the team
As Coach Wade is quick to point out, he’s still in the honeymoon period. He’s still undefeated as the NC State basketball coach. But there is no denying, the man is winning these pressers.
This is Coach Wade talking to a One Pack NIL Collective hosted event in Raleigh yesterday.
Highlights:
Matt Able – “…left this morning for USA Basketball. He’s in Colorado Springs, USA basketball, and hopefully he’ll make the under-19 team, and then he’ll go to Switzerland to compete there.”
Tre Holloman – “He was one of the first guys that committed to us. For somebody that wants to be a lead guard to step out and commit first and help other guys come along was huge.”
Quadir Copeland – “Q’s a lot like me. You like him if he’s with him, you hate him if he’s on the other team.”
Alyn Breed – “He got cleared in another two weeks to start working out and practicing for us …”
Ven-Allen Lubin – “Ven is somebody the other school was too dumb to play him. “ “When he plays 28 plus minutes, he’s done that in 23 games, he averages 15 and eight.” “…we’re gonna play him so, he’s gonna average 15 and eight.”
Terrence Arceneaux – “He’s the 12th best defender in Big 12 history, not just this year but in the history of the Big 12.”
Darrion Williams – “He was D5 but he’s going to be number one for us so I guess its D1.”
Jerry Deng – “Tremendous shooter, very good offensive player, trying to teach him a little bit about defense, but he can, he can really, really shoot the ball,”
Paul McNeil – “Paul was one of the best players in the ACC the last 10 games.” “He’s really, really worked hard in the weight room. Very, very excited, excited about Paul.”
[Mbiya? / Wilkins? / Kontuniemi?] “We got another couple of guys that will hopefully be here as the summer moves on, so we’re excited about that.”
