Maverick Rowan Talks NC State Commitment

Maverick Rowan finished his classwork on Friday, and committed to NC State this morning. Rowan is the #37 overall player in the 2015 recruiting class according to Scout. I caught up with the sharp shooter this afternoon to get his take on the decision.

Ultimately Rowan’s decision came down to his relationship with the NC State coaching staff. According to him, it was their loyalty that won the day.

“It was my relationship with the coaches. Coach Gottfried and Coach Early have been supportive of me all year and I feel that it’s the best fit for me,” said Rowan. “I would say that they have been supportive of me all year, when other schools weren’t.”

The NC State coaches see Rowan fitting into their system and making an impact right away. When I asked him what he thought he brought to the table, he had this to say.

“I bring my toughness, my scoring ability, and my competitive edge.” said Rowan.

The recruiting process and reclassifying process have been long and taxing, and he’s excited to have this off his chest. Rowan will arrive on campus when all of the other students arrive in a couple of weeks, and he can’t wait to get down here and get started.

“It’s a great feeling,” said Rowan. “I feel that it’s the best opportunity for me and I can’t wait to get on campus. Go Wolfpack!”

Maverick plans on wearing the #24, and I took the opportunity to introduce him to the NC State legends that wore that number. A couple of guys named Tommy Burleson, Terry Gannon, Tom Gugliotta, Julius Hodge, and T.J. Warren wore it as well.

Wear it well Maverick. Wear it well.
