Cheering for anyone else is for quitters.
Winston-Salem was a house of horrors for NC State across Friday and Saturday, with the Wolfpack getting absolutely hammered in both games. The series opener was a 22-1 beatdown with Pack pitchers surrendering six homers in that overly carpeted Cracker Jack stadium that Wake Forest calls home. The Demon Deacons teed off on five more […]
The Pack picked up another commit from the transfer portal, point guard Preston Edmead from Hofstra. Preston has been compared favorably to UT’s Ja’Kobi Gillespie as being super quick and aggressive. A great addition, a player to get excited about. Stats: ’25-’26 season Highs: Background: Preston is a 4-star transfer, ranked 156 from Easthampton, MA. […]

When the ACC made the move to nine conference games, it left many, if not all, of the league’s teams with some non-conference matchups to shed. NC State had to get rid of a game in 2027 (and will need to do the same for 2028), and naturally, the one road game on the slate […]
All ACC teams have now reached or passed the midway point of the conference season, so it’s a good time to see how we’re all doing. Who’s running for the conference crown? Who’s looking like an NCAA Regional team? Who’s disappointed? We’ll go team-by-team through the current standings. 2. North Carolina 3. Boston College 4. […]
You are panicking, I know you are! Maybe we should be? Or maybe it’s a little premature? NOTE: According to Verbal Commits, Kentucky and UConn each added one player after this post. “Why can’t NC State sign some of these high-priced guys? I’ve donated to help the Wolfpack be competitive.” I am right there with […]
Baseball games between NC State and East Carolina are typically highly contested affairs, but the Wolfpack saw to none of that on Tuesday in Greenville, scoring five runs across the 2nd and 3rd innings to take an early lead, while Luke Hemric and four other freshman arms kept the Pirates offense at bay. In the […]
The cost of doing business in the transfer portal is up this offseason, and teams are paying a hefty premium on quality big men, which comes as a surprise to nobody. Some early portal data from Evan Miya indicates that teams are overpaying centers more often than players at other positions—again not surprising, given the […]
NC State @ East Carolina | Tues, Apr 14 @ 6:00pm | ESPN+ | Stats This was supposed to be the bounce-back year for East Carolina. The Pirates’ five season run of regular season conference titles came to an end in 2025, with ECU posting a losing conference record for just the second time in […]

The NC State Basketball staff is looking much better after a busy week. The official roster page had only Coach Gainey listed a week ago, but look at it now. “I couldn’t be happier to have these five coaches join me at NC State,” said Gainey. “This coaching staff brings championship experience and a mindset […]
This is awesome:

NC State’s 2026 season took a significant hit as multiple sources have confirmed that JR RHP Jacob Dudan will require Tommy John Surgery for a torn UCL, ending his season and dealing a significant blow to the Wolfpack. A potential 1st round pick in this year’s MLB Draft before the injury, this likely marks the […]
As has been rumored for a couple of days, multiple sources have reported that Coach Gainey is adding former Big 12 Associate Head Coach Matt Driscoll to his previously all SEC coaching staff. Coach Driscoll brings 20 years of head coaching experience (4 years D3 La Roche, 16 years North Florida) that should be invaluable […]
Multiple sources are reporting that Coach Gainey is adding Alvin Brooks III to his coaching staff. That is his second SEC assistant hired. Brooks has been a D1 assistant coach since 2007. and has worked at Bradley for Jim Lee, at Sam Houston State for Jason Hooten, at Kansas State for Bruce Weber, he was […]
Multiple sources are reporting that new NC State basketball head coach Justin Gainey has hired his offensive coordinator, Anthony Goins from UGA. The school has yet to announce the hire. Goins is originally from Greensboro, like Coach Gainey. He started his coaching career at Dartmouth in 2013. He then worked for James Jones at Yale, […]
NC State and UNCW had a back-and-forth game on Tuesday night in Raleigh, with the Wolfpack pulling away in the 6th inning and getting some late shutdown innings from the bullpen. Ultimately, State captured the 7-4 win over the Seahawks to improve to 22-11 on the year and run their win streak to four games. […]
Significant changes continue on the women’s side as well as the men’s, similarly in the vein of not-surprising-but-still-disappointing. Tilda Trygger is second major piece from the 2026 team to hit the exit, and she is due a big payday from a power-conference program, if reports are accurate. (She supposedly had a $400k offer to leave […]
12:01 April 7, 2026: And we’re off! There are already more than 1,000 D1 transfers listed in Verbal Commits including more than 50 from the ACC. It’s going to fill faster this time. Let the games begin! Here’s a look at how fast the staff positions were filled last hiring cycle, and how quickly the […]
Rising sophomore guard Matt Able is headed to the transfer portal, per reports on Monday morning. He’s also testing the NBA Draft waters, but in all likelihood will be playing college basketball next season, just not in Raleigh. All you can really ask after a coaching change is that the players still on the team […]
One thing that’s helpful in keeping things in perspective is remembering that there are several people currently hurtling toward the moon, and they were sent there on purpose. NC State alum Christina Koch is one of them, as part of the Artemis II crew that launched earlier this week. The Artemis II mission is going […]
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for NC State baseball, as you may have noticed. Some close games go the wrong way, you get a bit of a slump at the plate, and next thing you know it’s panic, panic everywhere. Such is baseball season. Fortunately, it’s the first week of April. NC State […]
What might a Justin Gainey team look like? Ask me again in 12 months for a better answer. However, he was the associate head coach on an Elite Eight team. He had been on that team for five seasons, long enough to have probably played some role in the recruitment of every player on that […]
