The North Carolina State Wolfpack already started their season as their season kicked off during the week, as the Wolfpack played on Thursday night, which was huge for them, as many different recruits were able to see exactly what they bring to the table, as they were hopeful to win that game and that’s exactly what happened as they walked away with the victory.
They played against the East Carolina Pirates, which was a closer game than the Wolfpack had hoped for, as they walked away with a down-to-the-wire win.
This wasn’t the exact outcome that they were hopeful for, although they still walked away with a victory, which is what matters most when it comes to this situation as they continue to do their job when it comes to searching for prospects at many different levels and winning this game was a bit of a letdown even in the recruiting scene, however them using certain players that didn’t necessarily work out does nothing but make some of these incoming freshmen believe that they could have a spot on the team and then the starting lineup fairly quickly unforgettable.
