Waters FLOW to NC state

12/18/2023 3:14:08 PM

Sorta feels like a lot of potential upgrades at skill positions on offense. I like that.

What

12/18/2023 5:53:17 PM

Does the NIL collective have to pay the light bill for bell tower?

^ Daylan “Hollywood” Smothers (OU RB transfer). Nothing official but I guess there’s smoke he might come here. We recruited him hard out of high school

12/18/2023 6:26:31 PM

UNC commit WR Keenan Jackson decommited from UNC and may flip to NC STATE.

12/19/2023 7:23:24 PM

Never heard of him but hell yeah it’s fun to get a flip from UNC

12/19/2023 8:08:50 PM

He did indeed flip

12/20/2023 10:42:30 AM

^4*

Quote :

"Jackson is listed as a four-star wide receiver by Rivals.com. The recruiting website ranks him as the No. 14 player in North Carolina from the Class of 2024 and the No. 74 wide receiver nationally."

also, (other) 4* WR Terrell Anderson signed with us (there was speculation he was going to flip to Georgia)

Quote :

"Anderson is a four-star player according to most major recruiting websites. On3.com ranks him as the No. 3 player in North Carolina, the No. 16 wide receiver nationally, and the No. 79 overall player in the country from the Class of 2024."

Any negative surprises today?

12/20/2023 12:25:21 PM

Not that I've seen so far, just a lot of signings

12/20/2023 12:42:30 PM

I think QB Cedrick Bailey was one that could’ve been a flip candidate and he did sign. So I think it’s all good news. No negative surprises

12/20/2023 12:54:40 PM

Only one negative surprise.

"Mack Brown calls out NC State coach Dave Doeren for calling UNC "a piece of shit" after rivalry game at end of the season. Mack says it was "classless." Says he's "never heard something like that before.""

We're so uncouth.

Lol

12/20/2023 2:00:32 PM

lol Mack is a dork

12/20/2023 2:15:53 PM

(well, to be fair, Dave is kind of a dork too)

12/20/2023 2:24:41 PM

yeah but he's OUR dork

12/20/2023 2:27:01 PM

Exactly

But yeah Dave’s a giant dork

12/20/2023 2:47:26 PM

Lmao at Mack

12/20/2023 3:09:53 PM

Why's he saying something just now?

Quote :

""You know it's been 1,460 days since those pieces of s*** beat us," Doeren said to his players. Doeren's words were in the locker room and not in a public setting, though ACC Network cameras were present and thus picked up the remarks that were broadcast after the game. The comment also gained traction on social media, inflaming banter between fan bases and making for traditional rivalry fodder."

12/20/2023 3:51:07 PM

Because they didn't beat us at recruiting, so he's deflecting

12/20/2023 3:53:41 PM

It was also unprovoked. No reporter asked him about it, he just voluntarily brought it up.

12/20/2023 3:57:39 PM

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39157214/unc-mack-brown-says-dave-doeren-postgame-speech-was-classless

I didn't realize it was front page news. I like Doeren to act with class and dignity, buttt Mack is a crybaby. He was a crybaby over the Tez situation and made all sorts of threats.

"And from me speaking for them and their parents, they really didn't appreciate being called a piece of s---.""

"Drake Maye: Some people may say [NC] State, but really people who go to [NC] State just can’t get into Carolina.”"

Don't make me feel like a lowly piece of shit because of my academia choice.

12/20/2023 11:33:04 PM

Doeren never said he was referring to the players. Maybe he just meant Mack and his coaches were huge pieces of shit

12/21/2023 12:09:07 AM

maybe he just meant you eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

12/21/2023 1:34:54 AM

it’s splitting hairs, but I find Dave to be more of a goober than a dork

12/21/2023 1:37:11 AM

^this is a very fair comment and an important distinction. I stand corrected.

12/21/2023 6:05:06 AM

Mack Brown comes off as a whiny bitch in that PC

Heaven forbid he hears what our fans say about UNC.

12/21/2023 8:18:03 AM

Seems like it was a pretty good signing day. Anyone see our national ranking? Not that it means success but wonder how we are looking. The biggest thing is I am glad to see us finally getting some wideouts.

12/21/2023 8:29:55 PM

Uh like mid-20s, a few spots ahead of UNC

12/21/2023 8:40:55 PM

I’ve seen top 30. Like 28 or 26 I think depending where you look

12/21/2023 8:40:57 PM

Seems like an improvement. Haven’t we usually been in the 40s most years?

12/22/2023 9:46:32 AM

Yeah. This is a good recruiting class. And seems to be a good transfer class too.

12/22/2023 12:59:08 PM

yeah seems like they finished very strong

i'd love to know how much we gave KC to stay, and what other offers he may have gotten to transfer

It's true

1/10/2024 12:46:01 AM

Why does he go by "Hollywood"?

1/10/2024 1:42:56 PM

He's a big fan of christmas

"Langston Wertz: First question: where does the nickname "Hollywood" come from? I think that's a great nickname, but when you have a nickname like "Hollywood" that puts a big target on you. Daylan Smothers: Yeah, it does, people think it all comes from being boujie or a show-off or anything, but it's not like that, it's just -- our offensive line coach came up with it my freshman year. I wouldn't just sign up, like... you know. It was just how I carry myself, and when it's lights and camera, I bring the action, and just draw the attention. And he spread it to the team, and now -- spread it everywhere and now, everyone I know, they don't even know my first name."
