Going into his NC State official visit this past weekend, Locust Grove (Ga.) Lulella three-star safety Markel Aguirre wasn’t planning to commit for another week. He set a decision date for next Saturday, but the more time he spent on the Wolfpack’s campus, the easier it was for him to make up his mind.  The tipping point came during a player panel on Friday night, which allows the visitors to ask questions to current NC State players. As Aguirre listened to each answer, a common theme of family kept coming up.  “Hopefully, this is true,” Aguirre thought to himself.
