Following NC State beating Campbell Justin Gainey shared his thoughts by saying It was cool.
I walked back in, heard my name, and heard the ovation.
It was a cool moment and one of those things you dream about.
It was special.
I won’t minimize that.
I love this place. I love this school. I love these fans.
The welcome I received was amazing.
But more importantly, I’m just happy for the guys.
They got to see what I talked about during recruiting.
I know they felt my passion and how I feel about this place.
