the reason I posed the question is that the Woldpack are not relevant right now and we are. He always struck me as a kid that craved the spotlight and he'd be in it on the Hill. And anyone that thinks he wouldnt play for us is delusional, he'd start right now.
Over who? Wayne Chism or Tyler Smith? He went to N.C. State because he knew he could play right away.
Actually not. When he chose NcSt. Tyler Smith was still at Iowa and Wayne Chism wasn't exactly an All-American. NCSt. on the other hand had Ben McCauley and Brandon Costner starting at the 4 and the 5. If he really wanted more immediate playing time he'd get it here. If it wasn't for Coster showing the ability to play the 3 he wouldn't even start for the Pack this season. He chose Nc St. because Sidney Lowe has experience as a NBA coach and would prepare Hickson for the league.
