Herb Sendek put Top 100 prospect J.P. Prince in his. Courtesy Thad Mumau.J.P. Prince reportedly asked the Wolfpack coaching staff for a guarantee of playing time as a freshman. A source close to the Pack hoops program said Prince wanted a promise of at least 20 minutes a game next year, which will be his rookie college season. N.C. State coach Herb Sendek apparently told him good luck, wherever he ends up playing.
Props to Sendek for not acquiescing to J.P.'s demands. A couple seasons ago, however, before Herb had worked himself off of the hot seat, he might have been unable to say no. But as a result of recent success, North Carolina State can afford to be more selective.
