It’s a really great offense because it’s a lot of player ball movement.

We played Richmond last year, some of the teams in our league run the Princeton offense, Georgia Tech runs it a bit, Clemson sprinkles some of their stuff in it, and we wanted to play them because we were going to see it during our season, but it’s a unique offense.

I thought they came in with a complete, great game plan.

They will make you guard for 30 seconds.

When you look around college basketball there is so much parody now and when you play against teams like Campbell, the reason why I scheduled them was because they were a unique, offensive team.

In the Bahamas we played the Puerto Rican National Team, we were down 12 at the half and we found a way to win.

You know we hadn’t been in a situation where we were down. You can listen to it here, or check out a BULLETED breakdown below. Wolfpack Head Coach Kevin Keatts met with the media for his postgame press conference after NC State’s 73-67 win over Campbell last night. The reason we are writing this is because there were unanswered questions around Yurtseven’s decision and after the transfer situation we just saw with Gottfried, we thought a little more info around this topic could help squash any rumors that had been floating around. If you follow us closely, you’ll realize that we rarely ever do. **Note: We’ve been doing this long enough to know that some of you may not like us reporting on guys who have transferred. We wish Omer well, but we are very confident in the direction Keatts is taking this ship. Basketball is changing and the traditional post player is being left behind.

We wish him well and honestly believe it is probably a better fit to play under someone who will invest in a traditional-style post player.Īs for NC State and their fans, we believe moving over to Keatts system ASAP is the right move. “I want him to add a few more things to his game, but I want him to get the joy back into playing basketball again.”Įither way, we hope Omer finds what he is looking for. “Omer is already a very good player and will be a valuable addition to our team,” Ewing wrote to the Voice. Maybe it was a culmination of things that led Yurtseven to decide a change of scenery would feel more comfortable to him, part of which was likely playing for Ewing. Maybe it isn’t all about the NC State basketball program.

The takeaway here is that maybe we didn’t get the full story the first time around. You can go and read the article, but we won’t post anymore here because some may take some of the quotes as slights to North Carolina and it’s policies, and here at, we don’t allow politics (either side) on our site. “Knowing that a place respects my religion is definitely important,” Yurtseven said. While they don’t have specific quotes from Omer about what those ‘few events’ were, it seems to be hinting that his Muslim religion may have weighed in on the decision. Yurtseven recently spoke with The Georgetown Voice and shed a little more light on the situation.Īccording to Yurtseven, there were “a few events” that caused him to feel uncomfortable in Raleigh. Keatts wanted to implement his style of ball 100% this season and that style doesn’t really compliment a slower, more methodical type post-player like Yurtseven.

Sources were telling us that Yurtseven had no beef with the NC State staff, so to us it seemed as if he may have seen the writing on the wall.

If you were following during that time, then you know we were a bit confused. The N&O reached out to him for an explanation and he basically said it was because he wanted to play for Patrick Ewing. Then the news broke that he was pulling himself from the draft and transferring to Georgetown. Then, the news started to leak that he wasn’t going to return, even if he chose to come back to school. Yurtseven did declare, but did not hire an agent. He was NC State’s go-to-guy in the middle and was a big reason they shocked the ACC and made it to the tournament in Kevin Keatts’ first season.Īfter almost declaring for the NBA draft after his freshman season, it seemed as if it were a foregone conclusion that he would do so after showing so much promise in his sophomore season. However, not many expected that his departure would be by way of transfer.Īt the end of the season, Omer Yurtseven was averaging 13.5 points and almost 7 rebounds per game. Most expected that Omer Yurtseven (NC State’s star big man last season) wouldn’t be around this season.
