In case you missed it, our 90 min premium pod with James Henderson from InsidePackSports.com was jammed full of info.
I just posted an update on all the potential chaos. Edit: The body language last night was indicative of something afoot. That wasn't the same team that played against Davidson.
I'm going to do a continued focus on how NC State should market itself better and I started with why NC State should go all in on the Spring Game and also why we should look at Alabama Basketball as a model for all sports.
Chance gets in on the branding madness. I'm just not sure how this happens.
State is currently playing a postseason basketball game and on the TVs in Talley they are showing...

This has yet to be formally announced and we'll have our thoughts on this later but everyone should keep in mind this is not a talent evaluating position, it is more of a behind the scenes guy helping with logistics and operations as I understand the position.
Source tells @FootballScoop that NC State is adding a new director of recruiting who brings experience from the SEC https://t.co/PyNVhnxHwJ

We got a text that two big-time QB recruits were on campus yesterday and one (Davis) could be deciding in the next few days.
MJ Morris and Braden Davis are on campus.

Returning talent index, I'm not sure how we aren't listed here
Very excited to unveil the college football Returning Talent Index. I combined returning roster, net transfers, and recruiting to get some guesses as to who might take a step forward in 2021. https://t.co/5BVeaQDMSq pic.twitter.com/eNs6oOdFVS

Here is the full ACC chart with NC State doing NC State-things by being dead in the middle. Full-story here.
I love the content that @PackFootball puts out. Notice all of the Anthony Smith highlights? (Hi Will!)

Jalen Cone transferring from VT. I don't think we need any more under-sized guards but he can def. shoot it.
I wanted state to get Cone out of high school despite @InsidePackSport disagreeing. SHOOOOTER! https://t.co/OzxefHTym0

Shaka looking to get out of Texas before the pitchforks come. Strategy we'll see a lot of coaches take this off-season.
Sources: Marquette is closing in on hiring Texas' Shaka Smart as its next head basketball coach.

We've added the scholarship tracker for football and basketball on the site for all to see. Take a peak at the basketball roster and you might see why certain coaches are eyeing other opportunities. Of course with the transfer portal, quick fixes can be had easily.
Other Stuff
I don't often comment on other men's thighs but take a glimpse at Najee Harris. I would not try to tackle that guy and to be fair, not many did tackle him this year.
Most players look better in their pads. Not Najee.#TheDraftStartsInMobile pic.twitter.com/vfpzvGgRe2

If you haven't heard Najee Harris do an interview, you should. He has to be one of the most likable guys in college football. Add on top of it he goes and does things like this for his teammates.
Speaking of insane running backs, Rondale Moore destroys pro-day
