Web Run: ACC Atlantic Contender?
Aside from the fact that the NC State Wolfpack are making a transition from the Tom O’Brien era to the Dave Doeren era, the biggest question that surrounds the 2013 edition of the ‘Pack is how the void that’s been left with the departure of QB Mike Glennon to the NFL will be filled.

Projected 2013-14 Lineup: NC State Wolfpack
Mark Gottfried has his work cut out for him in 2013-14. He loses his entire starting five and as of now only has nine scholarship players. There are so many unknowns, it’s tough to settle on one starting lineup. I would say NC State’s lineup will be in constant flux, because there are a handful of players capable of playing multiple positions.

Wolfpack adjusting to Doeren's tempo
RALEIGH, N.C. -- New N.C. State head coach Dave Doeren has already injected the Wolfpack with a sense of energy and enthusiasm that wasnt there last year. His youthful approach has been refreshing, as has his up-tempo spread offense, both of which will be on display on Saturday for the Kay Yow Spring Game at Carter-Finley Stadium.
But sometimes change can be refreshing on its own...

And the first recruit who verbally committed was Rodney Purvis, a consensus 5* hometown kid. A month later, two more highly rated players committed to the Wolfpack and suddenly the excitement was back in the fan base...

Jones: Leslie's early exit good for 'Pack, too
RALEIGH, N.C. The C.J. Leslie era is over at North Carolina State, although it's hard to pinpoint when it began.
Leslie played in 99 games for the Wolfpack, but only approached his talent base on a few occasions. When Leslie was at his best, in flashes, it was quite breathtaking.
At 6-foot-9 and 200 pounds, the long-armed and supremely athletic Leslie should have been a rebounding...
