JSam was used in multiple ways. I think it depends on the skill set of the TE in question as to how we use him.
Cole's commandments:

1) You get out what you put in
2) Treat everyone the right way and stand for something
3) Never accept mediocrity in anything

4pack, I agree. TE is the least utilized position in football at NC State. It is a shock that we get good ones as little as they are thrown to... I guess Thad Moss last year proves the point.

We definitely need TEs.
why? we don't use them for anything other than blocking. What good TE would want to come to State knowing we don't utilize that position as a receiving option.
We definitely did throw to Thad Moss last year. He dropped some too. JaySam did catch a few from traditional TE position this year. Dont know how good the incoming TEs are in pass catching (Darden, Boselli etc) but a most good football teams have good pass-catching TEs IMO.

The last three predictions on 24/7 have gone to usc if that means anything

Panic is a natural reaction for some Wolfpack fans when an 18 year old kid decides to attend a different university. Why, I have no idea. Good one Toddl. Perhaps Gwyn will come to Raleigh.

If Gwyn doesnt; oh well. Would`ve loved to have had him. But this is already an awesome class.

One more quick note on Gwyn and the Chrystal Ball predictions: Right now they are 50% State, 50% Scar. But if you look deeper at the predictors, the guys predicting for State have a higher percentage right, and one of them (a regional scout guy) is 100%. Hopefully he stays 100%.

Belle is a big get and he is a tackle so should not impact Gwyn who is a guard.

Am I lucky or what? I got to meet basically the whole football team and took picture with Chubb Finley coach d etc...I saw this dude that committed to N.C. state today and he was sitting right across from me next to coach Eli and coach David huxtable...I also saw a bunch of other recruits and they all seemed to "fit in" and be comfortable...they all left with 2 or so min before NC State lost tho

The Staff continues to reel them in. Very big young man and another good get by the Coaches!!
Being an N. C. State fan builds great character!

Belle chose the Pack over offers from Florida, Miami, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Kentucky, and others. Impressive.

Apparently we still have about 2-3 spots open. Obviously, hopefully Gwyn fills one of those. Looking at the depth chart, IMO, we need another Defensive Tackle in this class, given all the talk of McNeil and even McCrae ending up as Defensive Ends.

A lot of times guys are DE's as freshmen but DT's by the time they are sophomores. S&C coaches and lot's of bacon help.

I don't put much stock in the crystal ball, but you have to look at when they make their picks. In this case, all of the picks for us are/were old, and the most recent ones all have him going to SC. 3 people picking him to come here a year ago doesn't mean as much as two guys picking him to go to somewhere else this weekend.

It may also do with the fact that Gwyn has taken several unofficial visits there recently and then the official this past weekend

Great news (but it aint close to over), Gwyn finished his visit without committing to the Cox. Down to us 2. Will decide soon.

Roseboro coming back should count as a recruiting win!

Oh yeah, you are definitely right. Went back and noticed the time frames. Hopefully him leaving without committing means he really likes us, though. He would close it out in style. Is there an early signing period for football? Might we possibly be able to bag this class before regular national signing day?

Just implemented this year is an early signing period for football, which runs from December 20-22. Virtually everyone who is currently committed is expected to sign on Dec 20th.

Reportedly, Gwyn is expected to make his decision in the next few days and sign during the early signing period. I like the fact that Gwyn was wearing an NC State T-shirt in the press conference after winning the 4A state championship. I think he runs with the Pack.

Gwyn's been relatively quiet throughout his recruitment process so I don't think anybody really knows who he'll pick. USC fans do seem confident though.

We'll see.
