NCSU Frontcourt gets big boost with Painter commitment

The commitment of 6'9" 220 lb. Deshawn Painter to N.C. State Wednesday makes me feel so much better about where the Wolfpack is heading into basketball season in October. 

Ranked in the top-100 in the country by Scout.com, Painter could have an immediate impact on the lineup when he arrives in Raleigh. Painter's addition to the 2009 class, which includes six players total, has to make Sidney Lowe feel good. Even without John Wall I think the Pack will be fine. 

Following Painter's commitment, PackPride released a projected roster for the upcoming season. It features nine sophomores and freshmen and only two seniors. Things are most definitely looking up for Wolfpack basketball.
