After his ankle injury, we heard that Terry Henderson would be back by ACC play (Jan 2nd). Then on Dec 10th, Mark Gottfried was quoted as saying it could be mid-January to early Feb. before the two guard is back in action.

NC State’s Terry Henderson (ankle) won’t return until mid-January or possibly February, Mark Gottfried told CBS Sports. Henderson has only played a total of seven minutes this season.

Yesterday, when ESPN asked Gottfried if the Henderson timetable still stood, he quoted the mid-January date and left off the February possibility. Maybe he was being optimistic or maybe the staff is starting to see some improvements in his ankle.

We’re thinking that the Jan. 13th game at home vs. FSU could be the comeback game for Terry, giving him a one game tune-up before the rivalry matchup with the Tarheels.

Why will it help?

Don’t get us wrong, Maverick Rowan has been good for Mark Gottfried, but he’s still a freshman who has been a bit inconsistent. Henderson was a decent scorer (12ppg) for West Virginia just two years ago and shot over 40% from beyond the arc. While Maverick Rowan is not far off form those numbers, Terry brings more versatility, better defense and will increase depth. He will definitely be a welcome addition back to the rotation for Gottfried and co.

The Doak is getting its renovation…and NC State fans aren’t exactly loving it

I was just about to write a piece about the Doak renovation going down.

But while I was over on Twitter, I saw a ton of comments on it, all of them NC State fans, and almost all of them critical of the new look.


Look, I don’t know what’s going on here. Maybe it’ll look a lot better once it’s done, or maybe the grass will match up a lot better when it greens up. But right now, it’s a little jarring. Here is how it used to look…

And here is how it’s looking right now…

Again, I’m going to wait until it’s really done before I cast judgement, but I think the official tweet from the school marketing it and drawing attention to it, has people thinking it’s in it’s final form. And maybe it is. But I hope it’s not.

I remember this being shared a while back…

This shows grass in foul territory and dirt in the 1st/3rd baselines. So I’m not sure when this turf thing came along. And while we’re on the subject, aren’t we a turf management school? Shouldn’t we be turning up our noses at artificial turf?

Apparently, this is a thing now, where foul territories are artificial turf and fair territory is grass. Here is Mississippi State’s baseball field doing the same thing.

Can’t say I like it there either, honestly. It just seems like one of those fads. Remember when everyone was going crazy with field/court colors?

Did anyone ever really like those? Do people like them now? Have they ever gotten a recruit to come to the school? Have they ever scared a recruit away?

I don’t know. You tell me. I’ll hold final judgment, but things NC State fans don’t seem like they’re going to follow along.
