Stop pretending the ACC is "close" to the SEC in recruiting. We lost a Philly 4-star DT to Penn State after he dumped Syracuse. The gap is a caynon, not a crack.

As in-state NC rivals, the recruiting battles run year-round, long before kickoff. When the Blue Devils face the Wolfpack, the debate is never settled for long — last year's result just sets up next year's argument.

Alabama, lmao...
Why is nobody talking about NC State's red zone efficiency last season? The Wolfpack converted touchdowns on barely 58% of red zone trips, which ranked near the bottom of the ACC. That's a 10% drop from the year before. You can have all the portal hype you want, but if you can't punch it in from inside the 20, those drives turn into field goals and losses. Fixing that has to be priority one this spring.
