Remembering the late Clyde 'The Glide' Austin, 1970s NC State guard

Posted Sep 17, 2025
Clyde “The Glide” Austin was smooth, sometimes to his own detriment. The former NC State point guard (1976-80) and Harlem Globetrotter was a legendary recruit from Richmond’s Maggie L. Walker High School, where he scored 2,158 points. When he was signed by head coach Norm Sloan, he was one of the top 5 high school guards in the nation. (The Wolfpacker)
