Senior OLB Kelvon McBride figuring out his future​

Today is the last day of the NCAA signing period, but players can sign today, tell the school to be quiet and then announce whenever in the future.

NC State's only target left is Treymane Parker of Fayetteville, N.C., who is with Overtime Elite, ironically playing with Robert Dillingham (which might not be going swimmingly).

One never knows what Parker might do, but whether he signs today or signs in April, the Wolfpack will keep trying.

LVPack, nodflow and myself all got six out of eight correct for 18 points. We all had NC State winning big, but if you take me out of it, nodflow and LVPack were both off by the same amount of points, 22, so co-winners.

Last night's result incapsulates what the big 3 sports are and have been at NC State for the last 30 years....mediocre and happy to be so. It's a damn shame that leadership at this proud university has been so poor as to not be able to make one single hire in any of these big 3 sports to win even a single conference championship or really even have one of the programs consistently relevant. Every other power 5 school in this country has somehow been able to find a way to hire at least one person in one of the big 3 sports who could actually win a championship at some point during these last 30 years. And not only can't we accomplish that, we compound that ineptitude with some of the most embarrassing losses in aome of the most creative and self inflicted wounds ways imaginable. Speaking specifically about this football team this year, it has to be one of the most under achieving teams ever to lace them up in Raleigh when you consider the talent, experience and depth that returned from last year's team. This was the year that Dave had been pointing to for something big. Well it was big alright, one of the biggest let down seasons in school history with losses to a mediocre Syracuse team and a home loss on Senior night to a flat out bad, one of the worst teams in the ACC bad, BC team. It was an embarrassing loss for the football program and for the athletic department as a whole honestly. I think it's fair to say that no athketic program in the country has done more to "step in it" or "step on it" to their own detriment than NC State. Congratulations Dave Doeren, on yet another underachieving accomplishment during your tenure as Head Coach at NC State. You join a long and distinguished list of coaches to do so in Raleigh.

Not sure if anyone caught much of the Duke/Kansas matchup last night, but the first half was bad basketball. Duke looked like they grabbed 5 guys as they were walking into the building and threw them on the court together for the first time. It was the worst looking Duke team in terms of how they played "together" that I can remember. Bad shot after bad shot, very little ball movement and it was painful. Kansas ion the other hand played more together, but they are no where near the Kansas teams we are used to seeing for the most part. Some nice pieces but if these are two of the top 10 teams in the country at this point, we are in for some bad college basketball this season. Scheyer has a ways to go with that group which does have some nice individual pieces.

If there was ever a situation where it screams "self-imposed sanctions" this would be the year for Louisville. Not only will they likely struggle under new coach Kenny Payne, but haven't used four scholarships yet. Could take a post-season ban and claim some scholarship reductions and be on their way.

Even after the cluster on Saturday, we’re still getting respect with a number 24 in the CFP. The streak continues…. Now close out strong

Kudos to this man and @ChrisDunn. Some fans (me) called him out for missing the big kick. And all he did is believe in himself and work harder and elevate himself under intense pressure to become one of the best in the country (the best?). Well done sir. Thank you!!

Charlotte is going outside the box in hiring Biff Poggi. He was a powerhouse prep coach and credited for making Michigan better.

Notre Dame got guard Hannah Hidalgo from the DMV, who everyone seemed to want.

NC State and rest of ACC have done well this cycle in recruiting.

Looks like sophomore guard Azzi Fudd is taking that step forward for UConn. The daughter of a former NC State player, the jumper looks wet.

I’d play her to drive and not give her room on the jumper, especially the pull-up jumper when NC State plays UConn on Nov. 20.
