    what the heck is the deal w/ Andrew Brackman? hasn't pitched in about 2 1/2 weeks. last weekend vs. Clemson they said "resting his arm". So now it's ACC tourn time in Jax (State's last game today) and he's not pitched any. State's been sort of hush-hush on this. He had a close friend that died back in Cincy and he was to go back for funeral, but thought that was mid-week or Thurs.

    draft status sinking?
    what's the deal?

    His former girlfriend (NCSU student) died in a auto-accident (Fayetteville) at the start of the Clemson series recently. That, along with some shoulder stiffness has caused this off-time. Hopefully he will be ready to go soon.

    thanks

    Thanks for the update. Emotional & physical lows. Hopefully he'll get back in a groove soon. But even before these setbacks, I think a lot of people just thought he would be able to get college hitters out with better overall success.

    update but not good

    Brackman Won't Pitch at NCAA Regional [​IMG] <A HREF="http://www.gopack.com//share/ViewPhoto.dbml?&PALBID=&ATCLID=919883&SPID=3728&DB_OEM_ID=9200&ATCLPID=&CARTKEY=&SPSID=41941&IN_SUBSCRIBER_CONTENT=&DB_MENU_ID=&LOAD_IMAGE_ID=502286&LOAD_IMAGE_SIZE=400"> link = ''; document.write(link); [​IMG] Courtesy: Peyton Williams/NCSU Athletics

    from gopack.com:

    COLUMBIA, S.C. – Righthanded pitcher Andrew Brackman is not on NC State’s 25-man roster for the Columbia, S.C., Regional and will not pitch this weekend for the Wolfpack.
    Brackman, who has been sidelined since mid-May with mild inflammation in his right elbow, threw a brief bullpen session at Doak Field at Dail Park on Wednesday before the NC State team left for Columbia. He still experienced discomfort with the elbow, and head coach Elliott Avent decided that Brackman would be best served by not pitching this weekend.
    “After Andrew experienced continued discomfort in his elbow during yesterday’s bullpen session, I made the decision not to jeopardize his future by trying to pitch in this weekend’s regional,” Avent said. “We would love to have him available this weekend, but I just don’t believe it would be in his best interests. If we advance, we certainly hope to have Andrew available for the Super Regional next weekend and beyond.”
    Brackman, who is 6-4 with a 3.81 ERA, made his last appearance May 12 at Virginia.

    Congratulations to Brack... The guy has had the worst of times the last few months... Here's to some good luck and a strong future.
