Too funny.

Did you watch them or are you just saying that because they were former 4 star recruits? They are leaving because at least one, maybe both were going lose playing time next season on a team that was pretty bad. Cody is a solid defender, but not a good offensive player. Caleb is a decent offensive player, but not a good defender. Again, they have time to improve and playing in the CUSA instead of the ACC will help.

I'd love to have them because they are talented and would have a year to improve. But, they were not good for NC State.

I'm saying that because my buddy that lives in Raleigh went to NCSU and said one of them is pretty good. I'm sure he doesn't have your connections though so please let us know if the coaches don't think they are great. I won't pretend to have inside sources.

FWIW, they are transferring because they were expected to lose playing time due to other guys coming in. Take that for whatever it is worth. They claim its because the coach didnt fit theor offensive games

Ambrose is transferring to UNCW. I wish him the best.

Sounds like just what the doctor ordered to me.

We definitely have to improve the 3-point shooting. It's hard to win consistently in today's game without it.

As simply a stand alone 3 point shooter, maybe there is a role for that, but there is also a lot more to basketball than that. He shot 39% overall (22% on 2 point jumpers) and had pedestrian numbers in rebounding, getting to the line (and shooting FTs, assisting, or defending. Im not calling him terrible, but he really struggled at NC State and was not likely to be in the rotation. If he did commit to ODU, I would hope the year off would really benefit both players games. Simply my opinion, but I think people are overstating their impact.

I don't believe Cal is after them at all outside of a long shot backup plan in case a bunch of guys bail.

They could end up being good players at ODU with continued improvements, but they aren't game changing type prospects. Im more excited about Green than I am about either of the twins.

Oh, ok, I couldn't find any stats on those.

Agreed. Luckily he didn't shoot a ton of them like his brother. (who shot a little better at 34%)
