There is a guy sitting on the bench that did that pretty well

This year will be pg,sg,sg,pf,c with the roster layout as it is there will be no sf position, evans will pretty much be a sg. Evans, kj, Cumberland will all rotate spots 2-3.

he probably changed that when NC State was added. He is still going to visit them. Its worth noting NC State only has 1 commit for next year and only 6 players on their roster. LOTS of minutes to give there with no center(depending on if BJ Anya stays in the draft) and only 1 PF on the roster

I thought "wing" basically was just a general description for the positions of SG and SF.

well, he announced he was going to make a decision May 7th before he updated his list and added NC State. He just finished his visit here either Monday or Yesterday

And this was from april 30th

2016 22 Feet Academy (SC) Darius Hicks just took a visit to Tulane. Visits to Cincinnati and NC State upcoming.

So maybe he visits them tomorrow and friday and decides saturday the 7th still, but that gives him little time to think about the decision unless someone really impressed him. But I will be absolutely shocked if he doesnt end up at NC State. Immediate playing time with noone blocking him

Well hopefully Kyle Washington clued him in on why their whole team is transferring or leaving early. It's like Mark Gottfried is a bad coach or something lol. NC State is going to get worse and worse. They have a good PG coming in, but Barber averaged over 23 ppg last year and they still sucked.

So you don't know that he is still planning on making his visit there, just that it was originally reported a week ago that he would be visiting them.

I think the word still in your original post is what threw me off.

Made it seem like you had heard an update somewhere in addition to the original report you referenced.

I also think there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why you used the wording you did...
