NC State continued its dominance in the UNC rivalry with a 42-19 win over the Tar Heels on Saturday night at Carter-Finley Stadium, the program’s fifth straight victory against the team clad in Carolina Blue. The Pack did so with more than 40 priority recruits in attendance less than a week ahead of the early signing period.  While the win was another feather in the cap for NC State coach Dave Doeren, it was also a critical performance that seemed to pay dividends on the recruiting trail as several prospects left Raleigh impressed with what they watched.  Here’s a look at what the Wolfpack’s prospective recruits thought of the dominant win.
