NC State legend Carlos Rodón called me on his way to Yankee Stadium to discuss Elliott Avent's retirement. I'll have a full story in the morning, but this quote stood out:

🚨#BREAKING: Hundreds of people have just shown up to the funeral of 98-year old John Bernard Arnold III, a WW2 veteran with no known relatives.
The public was invited to attend to ensure the veteran was honored and not laid to rest alone.
Hundreds came. Absolutely beautiful.
Coach welcomed me with open arms 14 years ago and we clicked right away. He taught me about wrestling, life, and what it truly means to be a Wolfpacker. There won’t be a day in the NC State room he isn’t talked about. RIP Coach. ❤️🐺 #WPN

NC State guard Quadir Copeland has loved his NC State experience, and that shows on the floor.
