    Don’t know if u guys mentioned it or not, but what i liked about TOB was how he went after Dwayne Allen, the guy from the fayetteville area who had committed to Georgia.

    I remember reading something awhile back on either rivals or scout about Terrell Manning and Dwayne Maddox wanting to play with each other and it looks like Mannings supposed to announce soon.

    T.J. Graham is also an amazing get for TOB. He’s the fastest guy in the state of NC i think and he said he has planned to concentrate solely on football. Can u imagine if we have another Devin Hester in the making. I’ll never forget him running the opening kickoff back in Raleigh 2 years ago.

    ESPN has picked up on this one and has some praise to give to the Wolfpack….

    I think the OL issues will take a little while to sort out…so I’m not thinking we’ll do much on the field this year. But I’m far more confident in O’Brien to land the guys that CAN fix the OL than I was with Amato (who seemed to hold OL in the same regard most of us hold venereal disease).

    It’s the O Line and Linebackers that I’m most excited about. Obviously this is a huge pick up, but as we’ve seen in the past few years great highschool running backs are okay at best without solid blocking.

    N&O did cover it:

    Not as quickly as PackPride and others, but only a day behind, marathonman!

    Glennon committed per Packpride…

  7. primacyone 06/28/2007 at 3:46 PM #

    Scout lists at a 3-star and #16 QB in the county.

    Rivals, lists Glennon as a 4-star and #5 in the country at QB.

    #6 coming out of the state of Virginia.

    Very impressive offer list –
    Florida State
    Miami (Fl)
    Michigan
    Michigan State
    North Carolina State
    Virginia
    Virginia Tech

    Not sure what happned above. If you highlight the blank area it says: #6 in the 2008 class coming out of the state of Virginia.

    Also picked up another comit today from Earl Wolfe. He is an unranked sleeper from Hoke County that impressed at camp, was offered at camp, and comited on the spot.

  10. noah 06/28/2007 at 4:26 PM #

    Apparently, Wolff was one of the big stars of the camp.

  11. statered 06/28/2007 at 5:27 PM #

    All I need to know about Glennon is this – he was invited to the elit 11 camp. That should tell you he is good.

    Sometimes with the diamond in the rough type guys you wonder. With a last name like Wollf it leaves no doubt!

    Come on Terrell Manning and R.J. Mattes

    I sat beside the OL coach on a plane out of RDU back in May. He said he was going to the Penn State Nike Camp. He was really excited (if u can call him that, he was one of the laid-backest dudes ive ever met) about Nick Becton and Mattes. He said Becton was great.

    Someone mentioned in another thread that they were amazed at how TOB was pulling in the recruits he has. A friend in highschool althletics here in NC noted to me the other day that his kids, when they look at scout.com or rivals.com see NC State listed front page as an ACC school, one of the top conferences and schools in the nation.

    Makes me chuckle that somewhere along the line we let fools like UNX convince us (some of us anyways) that we weren’t top-shelf when it simply isn’t true. This is NC State. We have one of the best coaches in the country, some of the best facilities in the country and now (as before) many of the best players in the country.

    Anyway, I’m excited to see what TOB will do during his first season at State – nothing to irrational but expectant none the less.

    Just saw on PackPride we picked up an LB from Flroida. Not highly rated, but pretty quick at 4.6.

  16. redfred2 06/30/2007 at 10:21 AM #

    Nothing but good news on all fronts and we can’t help but be excited, but I’d love to hear shortly about a few of the nation’s top OL recruits headed our way.

  17. redfred2 06/30/2007 at 10:39 AM #

    Hell, right now I feel the need to say that even Lee Fowler can recruit. He went through a mediocre and painful period there, but he has once again come out smelling like a rose.

    Lee McGoo, you done it again.

    There’s an interview with Coach O’Brien up on DG’s WRAL blog.
