Orlando Sentinel's Spring Prospectus: NC State

Good assessment of the Wolfpack by the Orlando Sentinel's Andrew Carter, with an optimistic prediction:

Way too early 2009 prediction:
9-3 (5-3)
There’s a possibility the Pack could lose to either South Carolina or Pitt out of conference, but both of those games are at Carter-Finley Stadium, where State will be favored. Provided Russell Wilson stays healthy, the offense will be just fine and the defense returns every one of its most important players from a season ago. The 2009 season could – and probably should – be this program’s coming out party under O’Brien.

And for your amusement, see comment number two at the link.

Elsewhere, briefly: The Dagger's Eamonn Brennan evaluates the ACC's basketball coaches. He's way off on Al Skinner.
