Link from the national rivals.com recruiting site – key excerpt follows:
This is a much faster start for N.C. State than many expected. A new coaching staff – most of them from Boston College – is trying to rebuild a program after a few years of mediocrity (or worse) in the ultra-competitive ACC.
Coaches with a lot more flash, guys like Butch Davis, Steve Spurrier, Urban Meyer, and Bobby Bowden are all recruiting the state. O’Brien and recruiting coordinator Jerry Petercuskie don’t seem to care, and they are having great success on the recruiting trail.
I’ll be the first to admit – I didn’t expect Coach O’Brien to make his first real splash on the recruiting front. I figured he would do a good job evaluating talent and getting the ship back on course with better discipline and motivation – but that the recruiting would have to follow the first few years of groundwork and better on-field product. As a Wolfpack fan, there’s no way you could expect a better start than what TOB has provided.
