You mean aside from the time two weeks into the season when they beat the dogshit out of the #6 team in the country, the favorite to win the ACC?  If you mean other than that obviously minor win, they also pimp slapped Tennessee on Friday, although they did struggle against Akron.  Young team will be up and down, but NCSU is supposed to be better than anyone in the Big 12 so OSU's upside is pretty high it seems.

Did you guys see Marcus's stat line?  Was crazy for a frosh on the road against a high ranked team.

NC State had no answer for Marcus Smart as the freshman scored 20 points with seven rebounds and seven assists in the Cowboys' win.

They are going to have a fun year. 

Grats cowboys.

Akron might be decent.  They just crushed Penn State 85-60.  Granted Penn State is garbage, but that's still a pretty impressive performance over a high major (technically).

Plus: Zeke Marshall (Zips center) set a tournament record with 13 total blocks.  "It isn't the first time I've broke records and it won't be the last," Marshall said. "I don't understand why other people can't do it. It's that easy."  Double plus: Their head coach was Lebron's high school coach.  We're learning stuff!

It will be fun to see which Frank Martin recruiting failure will be more spectacular, Marcus Smart or Willie Cauley.

Probably Marcus, since we'll have to watch him dominate our faces a couple years before the NBA.

By far.  I mean...he went to Ok St.  Not Kentucky.  Oklahoma State.   :frown:

Also Marcus was like the ultimate Frank player. I mean, he just seemed like an absolute PERFECT fit. Cauley would have been great, but Smart definitely hurts worse.

i'm not going to tell anyone whom to be butthurt by, but kstate had no right to even be on smart's list.  they'd earned cauley.

GTFO, if these were recruiting failures I guess Shabazz Muhammad was too.

yeah he coached lebron for his freshman and sophomore years, he had to coach high school because he got fired from Central Michigan for calling his assistant coach a n-word

Good one!  You can have Shabazz Muhammad, MIR.

I'm going with the quintessential Frank Martin player we were in on that chose to play for loserville Okie State and Travis Ford coming off our Elite 8 season.

You better check with Lebron on that one.  Pretty sure Lebron James loving him trumps any allegations of racist remarks in the eyes of people of all colors.  It's like born again or something.

So every coach in the nation, not named Calapari, has recruiting failures every year?  Maybe coaches should only target players that they absolutely know they will sign.  Recruiting classes full of Michael Orris'

Maybe Frank could have simply parlayed some of the success on the court after an Elite 8 appearance on a kid that we were in on from the beginning and one of the first to offer a scholarship and was tailor-made for Frank's system, instead of losing out on that said player to a marginal, underachieving head coach at Oklahoma State.

No coach bats .1000 on the recruiting trail, but it is and was irritating to see the success on the court not translate over to high impact players in our backyard that would have contributed significantly to this program.
