NC State’s Red-White Game Goes Outside

The NC State annual Red-White Game will be moving from coliseum’s and arena’s to the realm of the natural elements on an outdoor court.  On October 3rd, prior to the NC State vs. Louisville football game, in between the PNC Arena and the Jumbotron.

“Head coach Mark Gottfried and his team will host Tailgate Tip-Off presented by Butterball on Saturday, Oct. 3. The event will take place prior to NC State’s Ag Day football game vs. Louisville. The Pack will hold an outdoor scrimmage and other fan appreciation activities in Fan Zone on the PNC Arena South Plaza between PNC Arena and Carter-Finley Stadium’s Dail Plaza North.” (GoPack)

The NC State coaching staff is trying to get every major Wolfpack prospect to attend the event.  At this point, commit Dennis Smith Jr., 5-star 2016 PF Bam Adebayo, 4-star 2017 PF Xavier Tillman are expected to be in attendance.  I spoke with 4-star 2017 PG Lavar Batts, and Bobby Lutz is pushing really hard for him to be there as well.  Also, from what I hear, the staff is actively trying to bet 5-star 2017 SF Brian Bowen to attend.  Don’t expect those to be the only names you hear.  October 3rd should be a big day for NC State fans and NC State recruiting.
