They're saying the reason he didn't go to NC State is that he didn't qualify academically under ACC rules. This is the first I heard of that. I always thought it was because we hired his dad as Head Coach.

I remember one year the fair came to B.R. Pete was either a sophomore or junior that year and took his girlfriend to fair. Of course he ended up at the "free throw" booth and won his date 2 or three giant stuffed animals.. He had a crowd surrounding him in no time. People were trying to pay him to take their turn and win so they could give their dates a stuffed animal. The operator finally caught on to who he was dealing with and banned him from his booth the rest of the fair's time in B.R. Good times then!

I would’ve love to see him in today’s game. I would’ve love to know what his scoring average would’ve been in the NBA with the three-point line. I know the older guys on here went to games like me and can tell you that his greatness with a basketball is still indescribable. You haven’t really seen complete greatness on a court unless you saw Peter Press Maravich.

Absolutely the finest non-big man to play college basketball.
