Note from N.C. State's preseason-opening practice.
Glennon stands tall. James looks strong. Evans follows Jeff Garcia's example. And more.
At N.C. State's team awards banquet last season, defensive coordinator Mike Archer had fond words for cornerback Jimmie Sutton.
Last season Sutton lost his starting job at the midseason open date. After that, it seemed he didn’t have much to play for as a senior.
The Duke women’s basketball team will host Stanford during the upcoming 2008-2009 season, a Blue Devils athletic department spokesman said Wednesday.
The non-conference game is scheduled for Dec. 16 and will be nationally televised on ESPN.
Leesville Road High standout Zach Greene's football commitment might surprise local fans who know his father, Dwayne Greene.
Dwayne is a former N.C. State defensive back who is a member of the Wolfpack Club's board of directors. His son committed Monday night to a different school that's a 25-minute drive from his home in the Olde Creedmoor subdivision in North Raleigh.
Zach Greene plans to play cornerback at Duke and turned down an N.C. State scholarship offer.
Denzelle Good, a huge rising senior offensive lineman from Gaffney, S.C., has committed to N.C. State.
Good is 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds and was rated the ninth-best player in the Class of 2009 in South Carolina by The (Columbia) State Newspaper in February.
N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe tapped familiar territory for his second commitment from a top-100 basketball recruit in two days.
Richard Howell, a 6-foot-8, 215-pound rising senior forward at Wheeler High in Marietta, Ga., committed to the Wolfpack on Monday. J.J. Hickson, who was N.C. State’s leading scorer and rebounder as a freshman last season before leaving for the NBA, also played at Wheeler.
Lorenzo Brown's high school coach, Allen Whitehart, said Brown committed to N.C. State on Sunday morning because the Wolfpack felt like "family."
If that family were putting together a photo album, Brown would belong on the cover. It's impossible to overstate his importance to N.C. State.
N.C. State secured one of its top Class of 2009 recruiting targets Sunday morning when guard Lorenzo Brown of Roswell, Ga., told assistant coach Larry Harris he is committing to the Wolfpack.
Brown is 6-foot-5 and 195 pounds and will be able to play both point guard and shooting guard in college, according to his coach, Allen Whitehart of Centennial High.
