You can't develop what you don't have. We learned that the hard way after the Les Miles years when we had all heart but no horses. NC State might develop well, but so did we under Pat Jones, and we still hit a ceiling without elite talent. The game has changed since the old Big 8 days. You need those blue-chips to compete for titles now, not just bowl games. That Wolfpack ceiling is eight wins, and their recruiting proves it.
