Over the past 25 + years NC State has been in the results-based but media driven “shadow” of its two blue neighbors.

Yet as much as the talking heads love to perpetuate this narrative, one area that exacerbates that story is success of players beyond college. In football we have Super Bowl champions, franchise QBs, legendary WRs, and highly regarded defensive players in our recent history but basketball hasn’t produced much fruit at all.
