With the addition of Shyheim Battle on Wednesday, NC State’s football recruiting momentum rolled forward, further establishing this as a breakthrough recruiting cycle both within the state and overall.

The Wolfpack’s recruiting class ranks 14th in the latest Rivals update, 20th in the 247Sports composite, and 21st over at ESPN, which apparently hasn’t been updated recently (I’m seeing only 17 verbals listed for State, which has 20).

NC State’s football recruiting hasn’t seen such lofty heights since the Chuck Amato era, when fancy sunglasses and bright red shoes ruled the day.
