Lowe acknowledges there's a chance Costner won't return

N.C. State’s Brandon Costner is officially a junior, but he is scheduled to earn his degree in May and there’s a chance he won’t return next season.

Costner missed the 2005-06 season with a stress fracture in his left leg and was given a medical redshirt. So he is in his fourth year of school at N.C. State.

Costner has said he isn’t ready to make any decisions on his future, and coach Sidney Lowe said Monday that the staff hasn’t addressed it yet with Costner.

“That wasn’t something I wanted to get involved in right now,” he said. “We want him to concentrate on doing the best he can for N.C. State right now, and then we will sit down and talk about it.

“As an organization and program, we have to prepare for both. But right now it’s something we don’t want to talk about. We know it’s there but we haven’t discussed it.”

Costner, who is 6 feet 9, leads NCSU with 14.4 points per game. He is second in rebounding at 6.1 rebounds per game.

Hey pack fans...I think you all might win a game tonight.

He should come back to STATE where he could have the best year of his career. The ACC will be losong a ton of players this year and it could be to his advantage.

The way I see Costner lose the ball " everytime" he is on the low post and puts the ball on the court- I say GO- please ! Reminds me of Julius Hodge. Mr All American that couldn't dribble. I suppose thats why he is making such waves in the NBA. They are both a disgrace to that name.

RE: Lowe acknowledges there's a chance Costner won't return

Getting back to the actual point of the article which many have completely deviated from here. Costner is not one of Syd's recruits. I think he could care less what Costner does because of his lack of commitment to the team. He's such a hot and cold player that hasn't been the least bit trustworthy . When Herb's recruits are out and Syd's recruits are in, go ahead and start judging Lowe.

Just take a look at the play of Tracey Smith. That's a big guy that Sydney brought in. He plays with heart and passion and is productive when he's in the game. The same with Julius Mays. And not to mention Johnny Thomas who could be the most hard working player on our entire team. You can't judge transfer players like Farnold Degand and Trevor Ferguson because that was when lowe was left without a recruiting class in the wake of herb leaving. Those guys were basically an attempt to get more bodies on the team. So let costner go and for the love of god let McCauley go. The only productive play he made the other night was stopping Copeland from scoring.
