The IPS Watchlist Debuts!
We've put together our first release of the IPS Watchlist which is a breakdown of players we believe NC State fans should really be closely monitoring in the 2019 recruiting class.
Over the years, football recruiting has changed.
Players are making decisions earlier than ever, we now has a December Signing Period for high school prospects, and for the first time this spring rising seniors can take official visits.
The timeline for decisions is being moved up earlier and earlier, and college programs have adjusted. Now you're seeing schools offer 100+ prospects just to fill a 25-man class, and they are extending the majority of these offers before college camps.
Obviously all of those offers aren't committable, which can make it tougher to follow because now there are so many names to track.
To make it easier for the casual fan (although we're not sure there a lot of casual fans at Inside Pack Sports) anytime we update a prospect on the message board that we believe NC State has a good chance of landing, we'll tag that player as an IPS Watchlist prospect.
An IPS Watchlist prospect is a player we're specifically watching and you should be too. It doesn't mean NC State will land the recruit, but it is someone we're closing tracking because there is significant mutual interest between the Wolfpack and the prospect.
Today we are releasing our first official IPS Watchlist. We've put this list together, which includes all of these prospects, so our subscribers can refer to the list going forward. Also, we'll list them in order based on NC State's chances, and periodically run releases with mass updates plus intel.
You can access the list two ways. The first is by simply clicking the link below.

Also, you can access the IPS Watchlist from the front page by clicking the link under the "FB REC" tab on the front page.
Again, we believe this list will make NC State Football Recruiting much easier to track, but remember we'll constantly be tweaking the IPS Watchlist plus tagging specific recruits on the Alpha Wolf Rising forums once we publish any new tidbits or information!
