New men’s basketball coach Mark Gottfried has made a lot of noise for the Wolfpack before his team has even hit the floor. With the signing of 5-star shooting guard T.J. Warren, Gottfried has already compiled three players in the top 100 of every recruiting website in the country.

Warren, a Raleigh native who has been playing with Brewster Academy in, ironically enough, Wolfeboro, N.H., committed to the Pack at around 4 p.m. Wednesday afternoon and made a splash on Twitter with a comment immediately following the announcement.

“I been had that Wolfblood,” Warren said over Twitter.

Gottfried had several players go on to play at the NBA level when he was a coach at Alabama, which Warren said helped him make his decision.

“I felt real comfortable with the staff and had a feeling from day one that I could really see myself playing at North Carolina State,” Warren said. “I trusted the coaching staff and really think they can prepare me for the next level to reach my potential.”

When asked about what made him decide to come to N.C. State, he rattled off a few memories from his younger years in Raleigh.

“When I was growing up, I went to a lot of games when Herb Sendek was the coach and Julius Hodge was there,” Warren said. “I’ve always been a State fan.”

Warren also said that Purvis and Lewis kept pressuring him to join the team to become “a part of history.”

Coach Gottfried is still on the recruiting trail and looking at two recruits, 5-star power forward Amile Jefferson and 4-star shooting guard Andrew White, to add to his already abundant collection of 5-star shooting guard Rodney Purvis, 4-star point guard Tyler Lewis, and Warren.
