Happy Tuesday folks. We are officially in the dumbest part of the football calendar.

Programs like State are scrambling, trying to figure out how to manage:

• Coaching turnover
• Current players transferring out
• New players in the transfer portal that would like to transfer in
• National signing day for high school recruits
• Bowl practices and preparation

It’s a lot of stuff. Coaches make a lot of money for this, but this is a recipe for peak stress for staffs across the country.

Thankfully, we’ve got plenty on the way to keep you on top of everything.

First and foremost: I built this Transfer Portal Tracker to keep track of who is transferring in, out, who has committed to staying in Raleigh, and how all of this affects the depth chart. You can check it out here; highly recommend bookmarking this one as we progress through December into January.

One of those key pieces that State has retained is obviously C.J. Bailey. Alec put together a 4,500 word evaluation of Bailey - good, bad, in between - that I think should be mandatory reading for all State fans. It’s that good. We’ve also been uploading Trinity Road Tape segments every Tuesday and Thursday, and today’s short focused on a 4th and 12 read from CJ in the Syracuse game.

We have plenty more to get to: State needs to hire a defensive coordinator, our ECU scouting report is coming, and State will start landing commitments we can report on (hopefully) in the near future.

Stay tuned - plenty more is on the way.
