Dan Werner On His Way Out The Door?

Wolfpack signee Dan Werner has been granted a conditional release from his LOI. Werner is reopening his recruitment, and he's garnering a lot more attention: Georgetown, Florida, Kentucky, Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame have all been in contact with Werner's high school coach. Herb Sendek and his staff were way ahead of the curve in their evaluation of Werner, but it seems that the rest of college basketball has caught on.

The good news (or "small piece of consolation," if you prefer) is that NC State will get the last of Werner's five official visits. So NC State's coaches will get to re-state their case, and their sales pitch will be fresh in Werner's mind when he makes his decision. Hopefully that makes a difference. We need Dan Werner.

Sidenote: Dig the shirt Werner is wearing in the above link. That is a Herb Sendek kind of shirt.
