Rye – he definitely needs to get over the hump and beat a team or two he shouldn’t beat (, besides UNC – not that I am complaining)
Regarding the draft – the 3 players NC State had drafted tied us for 23rd in the country. While that ain’t earth shattering, it’s a solid number – especially when you consider most of our talent is in the junior class.
I think the recruiting is fine. Hopefully, they have learned not to offer scholarships to kickers based on athletic ability. To be fair, kickers are a unique bunch since so much of the challenge is mental.
I also think our QB was solid last year. Finley put us in position win 11 of our 13 games. He displayed an adequate arm and for the most part, good decision making ability. If he improves even just a bit, he will be having a 2nd/3rd team all-conference type season. The big question is whether he’s “peaked” with limited physical tools or if he develops a Davis type confidence issue. Remember, defenses now have a year of tape and will have a much better idea of how to attack him.
