This would be 19 straight days Maverick has been suffering from concussion symptoms. While Symptoms typically don’t last quite this long this is not anything too uncommon. Though usually the case in football, players have missed significant time on occasion from a single concussion.
Hopefully Rowan can recover soon as his shooting ability and length have been missed, especially against smaller lineups. Maverick has only played 1 regular season game to this point scoring 17 points and pulling down 9 rebounds against Georgia Southern.
We will be sure to update everyone if we hear anything else on Rowan’s condition
Everyone knows you can produce great guards. Work on getting our big me above average.

The big kid coming will not solve this team’s problem. Gottfried does not know how to integrate our bigs into the offense. No rebounds, no defense. What a disappointment. Need to stop drinking the Kool Aid I guess.
Yeah, all he will do is set picks for the four guards. Useless. We need a team with a true PG, SG, SF, PF, and C. Not four guards playing zero defense and not rebounding. I’m also tired of making excuses for Gott’s teams. Let’s try using the Wisconsin’s and Virginia’s approach at recruiting and keep kids three or four years.
We tried that already, his name was herb sendek. His team’s had great defense, but incredibly boring offense. That didn’t suit anybody either. You can’t please all the people all the time.

When are these people going to learn how to play defense. Lazy asses and poor coaching. This team has no patience. Getting blow out by Illinois. What a pitiful sight. Bring on baseball. Dennis Smith and Henderson are useless on defense. Hurts the team.

Can’t be too safe with a head injury. TJ has been out for a couple of weeks now for a minor head injury.
Louisville Transfer Guard Mike James (6’5″/200) is on a visit to NC State currently, according to a source.
Indiana State Transfer Ryan Conwell was on campus last week, but he just committed to Xavier.
From what I hear, the staff preferred James over Connell anyway. A plus with James is he has 2 years of eligibility, whereas Conwell has 1.
News broke about James entering the Transfer Portal back on March 25th, and NC State was quick to reach out. Kevin Keatts and his staff recruited the former 4-star prospect out of high school heavily, but he ultimately chose the Cardinals.
Rivals ranked James as the #71 overall player in the 2021 recruiting class, and ESPN ranked him as the #7 prospect in the state of Florida.
After redshirting his first year in Louisville due to torn achilles, James has been a starter for the Cardinals the past two years. This year, he averaged 12.6 points and 5 rebounds.

Rivals ranks James as the #77 overall player in the Transfer Portal.
Louisville Transfer Guard Mike James (6’5″/200) is a priority for NC State, according to a source.

After redshirting his first year in Louisville due to torn achilles, James has been a starter for the Cardinals the past two years.
This past year, James averaged 12.6 points per game (3rd on the team) and 5 rebounds. He’s extremely physical and aggressive, taking 47% of his field goal attempts at the rim (making 46%). As a result, he draws a lot of fouls, ranking 10th in the ACC in Fouls Drawn, and 4th in Free Throw Rate. James made opponents pay this year when they put him on the line, making 81.8% from the charity stripe, which ranked 15th in the ACC.
James shot the ball better as a Redshirt Freshman, than he did this past season. His Effective Field Goal Percentage in 2022-23 was 55.8%, which ranked 19th in the ACC, and his True Shooting Percentage of 59.6% ranked 14th.
He does have the ability to knock down a three, making 34.8% for his career.
Prior to this season, the record for most games started in a single season in NC State history was 37, with three Wolfpack players doing so: Lorenzo Brown, Richard Howell, CJ Williams.
Morsell now sits atop the list, and a fellow teammate, DJ Burns ranks second, with 40 games started this season.
Styles was the 2nd leading scorer for Georgetown this season, averaging 12.8 points per game, while grabbing 5.8 boards. He shot 36.8% from three.
Originally, Sytles was a consensus 4-Star prospect in UNC’s 2021 recruiting class. 247Sports ranked him as the #62 overall player nationally, and the #2 player in the state of North Carolina, playing for Kinston High School.
After two seasons with the Tar Heels, Styles entered the Portal, and took an Official Visit to NC State and Georgetown, and ultimately chose the Hoyas.
ON3 ranks Styles as the #104 overall player in the Portal.
With his final year of eligibility, Styles’ made the right choice this time.
NC State now has 2 scholarships remaining after Styles’ commitment.
Coach Gott,

Well it won’t be worse with Yurt7 but he’s not a cure-all.
