Preseason Recruiting[/b]
13 Players have NC State listed as their top school. They're all 3* and below. One is a SS and one is a De, so I'll add them and hope they are "easy gets"
46 players have NC State in their top 3. Again all 3* guys and below, and I see nothing that intrigues me.
Next I look by position for guys that have me in their top 10. A 5* ATH who looks like a CB goes on the board.
FB is another big disappointment. One 3* FB has me in his top 10. There are 3 4* FB's in this class. Two are in pipeline states so I'm going after them.
TE is worse, the best TE that has any initial interest is a 2* guy. I add a couple guys who happen to be in pipeline states and we'll see what we can do.
The best kicker in the country is a 2* K this year. I'm not wasting my time.

The list is really kinda underwhelming. But i have such stellar talent at QB and HB, and a lot of good young WRs, and just the one 5* ATH interested in me this year. But it looks like this is going to almost certainly end up a worse class than the last couple season.
