Donavan Phillip wins MAC Hermann Trophy as nation’s top player
College soccer’s version of the Heisman is the MAC Hermann, and NC State had never had a player win it, until last night. Donavan Phillip won the top honor, and deservedly so—in addition to leading the Pack to a historic national title game appearance, he led the country in goals with 19. He scored a […]
NC State lets one slip away in Clemson, loses 75-65
I think it’s the quarter breaks in women’s basketball that create the serious mental whiplash I feel watching teams completely flip from playing well to playing poorly, not so much that it’s more pronounced in women’s basketball than men’s. (Though maybe it is.) There was a strong case of that whiplash last night going from […]

NC State adds King Mack and Ondre Evans to secondary; Kenny Soares hits portal
The portal percolating continues today, with NC State making a pair of additions to its secondary and bidding farewell to linebacker Kenny Soares, who became a starter after Sean Brown got hurt.

Teague Andersen and Spike Sowells returning; Pack adds OT Jimarion McCrimon from ECU
After Jacarrius Peak announced his decision to enter the portal on Sunday (I had been under the impression he was going to the Draft, but apparently not!), NC State quickly moved to fill that void with the addition of former ECU offensive tackle Jimarion McCrimon, who spent this season at left tackle. NC State also […]

NET: Is There A Real Path to the NCAA Tournament?
“Wreck-oning” My Saturday After sitting through that embarrassment on Saturday – (the truth is, when the lead was 27 with less than 7 minutes left, that was all I could stand) – I wondered if there really is a realistic path to the NCAA tournament for the Wolfpack. I know Coach Wade keeps promising the […]
NC State lands Buffalo standout receiver Victor Snow
NC State made its first significant portal addition on Sunday afternoon with the commitment of slot receiver Victor Snow, who racked up 1,466 receiving yards at Buffalo over the last two seasons. Snow finished the 2025 campaign with 62 receptions for 815 yards and eight touchdowns, and had three 100-yard games. He was a first-team […]
NC State holds off Cal, 71-60
After drubbing Stanford on Thursday, NC State had its hands full with Cal on Sunday afternoon, in no small part because Tilda Trygger missed the game because of an illness. The Wolfpack clearly suffered for her absence at both ends of the floor but made enough plays to avoid an upset. Zoe Brooks got NC […]
NC State Dominated By Virginia 61-76
Game Summary: A poor performance by NC State. The Wolfpack reaches the halfway point of the season at 10-5. Virgina came off their loss to VaTech and took control of the game early and maintained it most of the game. They led 40-20 at the half. The Wolfpack showed some signs of life for the […]

NC State trounces Stanford, 74-46
Women’s hoops celebrated the new year with a blowout win over Stanford on Thursday afternoon made possible by a hounding defensive effort that held the Cardinal to their worst offensive performance of the season. NC State is 3-0 in ACC play, and all three wins have been by 20+ points. The game was sloppy and […]
CJ Bailey is back
With the transfer portal window opening today, NC State has one very important matter officially settled: CJ Bailey will be the Wolfpack’s quarterback in 2026. We can all breathe a sigh of relief and now look ahead to building for next year. Bailey realizing his potential and developing into a star this fall meant that […]
It’s transfer portalin’ time!
Regardless of your support or animosity towards the freedom of players to transfer at will, everyone – with maybe the exception of someone taking on a rebuild job at a crappy program – can and should agree that the constant roster overhauling that is part and parcel of today’s college sports landscape sucks. The entire […]

Happy New Year to you and your Darrion Williams press conference questions
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like Will Wade has been a little too much so far this season, overcooked for no apparent reason at all, whether that was when he was getting those silly technical fouls early on, or more recently getting On One after games—after games State won, for god’s sake! Like, […]
Strike Up the Band! Happy New Year! The Pack Wins 70-57 Over Wake Forest
Game Summary: You always worry about the games around the holidays, are the players distracted, will they maintain their quality of play? It did not appear that way early. To quote the great Lyle Lovett, that game was “ugly from the front.” However, the Wolfpack was the more talented team and it showed. They built […]

Is this too many balloons?
Athletics departments face a number of existential questions these days. Fortunately, none of them have to do with money. In this era of unlimited official and unofficial recruiting visits, football programs must confront one particularly essential matter: how many balloons is the right amount of balloons? I think everyone understands that, in order to be […]

Wolfpack commit Cole Cloer injured his knee in practice before the season started at IMG Academy. He, unfortunately, will have to miss the season to rehabilitate that knee.
