With the baseball season exactly one week away, Aaron Fitt of D1Baseball joins Cory to discuss the start of NC State's season. The Wolfpack comes into the season outside of several preseason Top 25 lists -- including sitting just outside the D1Baseball rankings despite having three preseason All-Americans.

How important will the trio of Will Wilson, Patrick Bailey and Kent Klyman be for the Pack9? Which player needs to step up the most following the exits of Brock Deatherage and Brett Kinneman in the lineup? Who are some of the possible starters behind Reid Johnston in the rotation?


With the final National Signing Day for the 2019 in the rearview mirror, NC State has pieced together the No. 26 recruiting class in the country, according to 247Sports. The Wolfpack has now locked in a combined 12 four-star players -- six in each class -- by the 247Sports rankings and all at positions of need in the coming years.

Michael and Cory take a look at the final players added with Jordan Houston and Cecil Powell as the only true members of the 2019 class. What will transfers Levi Jones and Tabari Hines add for the future of the program? What's the situation with Delbert Mimms?
