Jones: Leslie's early exit good for 'Pack, too
RALEIGH, N.C. The C.J. Leslie era is over at North Carolina State, although it's hard to pinpoint when it began.
Leslie played in 99 games for the Wolfpack, but only approached his talent base on a few occasions. When Leslie was at his best, in flashes, it was quite breathtaking.
At 6-foot-9 and 200 pounds, the long-armed and supremely athletic Leslie should have been a rebounding...

Former NC State player bashes Coach Gottfried
Ahhhh social media. Gotta love it. Unless you don't. When Thomas De Thaey left the NC State program in November he was frustrated. He tweeted about lack of playing time, but cited his father's health as the reason for his departure. He went back to Belgium to pursue a professional career. Apparently though, he wasn't quite done. That's what happens when you...

C.J. Leslies maturity raises N.C. State
RALEIGH, N.C. -- C.J. Leslie may finally be turning a new leaf.
As the most ridiculed basketball player along Tobacco Road the last two years, and with good reason, Leslie is showing signs of maturity, growth and even the instincts of a great player. Look no further than last Saturdays rout of visiting St. Bonaventure as the latest and perhaps greatest example of his ascent.

ANGRY ALUMNI
Video: Two former NC State players ejected
Oh yeah, he hasn’t played for NC State since 1992.
Googs and another NC State alum, Chris Corchiani, were ejected today by referee Karl Hess during NC State’s loss to Florida State. What did the former Wolfpack basketball players say? No one knows for sure at the moment, but it is a pretty safe bet that the magic word was involved.
