Last week, Mark Gottfried used a helicopter to visit some highly-regarded prospects at their respective high schools, including point guard Dennis Smith Jr. The stunt earned a lot of attention, but most importantly got the attention of Smith, who committed to NC State a day later. There was much rejoicing and then we all moved on.
But hold on just a second there, bub, here comes the NCAA sprinting down a hallway carrying its 800-pound rule book. It turns out the Wolfpack may have committed a violation of NCAA rules because media were on hand for the coaches' visit with Smith.
