"Unless Wilson provides an answer, or Beck/Burke show some huge gains, I'd much rather take our lumps with Glennon than say, Evans. I'd like to have a quarterback that can throw an out route without it getting picked off."

his comment from the PC almost makes it sound like it is just between Wilson and Glennon :

Quote :

"What are your plans for Mike Glennon? Do you plan on redshirting him? I think we prefer to redshirt linemen. Skill kids... they sometimes have the opportunity to play. In the situation of Mike Glennon, he's very talented. He has a lot of potential. But as Joe Paterno once said, all potential means is you haven't done anything. He's been very successful at the high school level, and very successful in every all-star game he's played in. He's a very talented individual. He's not sure what he wants to do... whether he wants to redshirt or play, but I know all those kids are competitors and once they get here and figure it out and they want to play. If he's the best guy for the job he's going to play. We have a pretty good freshman on campus also in Russell Wilson. We're going to take a long look at him in spring practice, give him a lot of opportunities because we like what we've saw in him. I think the bottomline is with those two young kids, that should be a pretty good position for us going forward. "

Very solid class - maybe I'll get to see Glennon at QB my senior year (RFr for MG)

Like I told all you nonsayers earlier this year. Wilson is the favorite. Glennon (still have to see what he does when he gets here) and geron james is ready to go off like no other....

The evaluations on this page are pretty good. It shows their ranking by position and overall grade. Overall it looks like we have a pretty strong class. I like that TOB wasn't afraid to grab a couple of JC players that are physically mature and can provide instant help. Even if they aren't starters this year they will provide good depth and will help simulate in practice what our starters will physically go up against in real games.

Wilson is not the favorite.

People are praying that he'll work out, and who knows, maybe he will, but he hasn't earned anything yet.

That being said, I think the staff likes what he can bring to the table, but we shall see at the end of practice.

If anyone but Wilson is the favorite, this is going to be another shitty year for NC State football.

While I don't know that Wilson will be great, I know the other guys will be terrible (Glennon excluded)

"Quality additions were made in the secondary, wide receiver and along the offensive front."

per ESPN, odd how linebacker was not listed.

^^ that's the thing about TOB's system. one doesn't have to have a great QB. when you're getting 4 yards per carry, other things start to fall into place.

3/24/2008 3:48:58 PM

^ Yeah, but having a Matt Ryan in the pocket doesn't hurt.

^^ I thought it was weird they would list wide receiver as one of the positions we stocked up on. I think TJ Graham was the only wide receiver we got in this recruiting class, and he wasn't that highly rated. Unless they're counting Geron James coming back? But I don't think they would count him to our new recruiting class.
