We have 1,4,10, and 11. Looks like Wesley Saunders is going to commit to UNC. His final 2 were USC and UNC. Probably going to be a huge TE.

By the way, Culliver AND Jones are now 5*'s.

 

Marvin Austin would be said miracle.

Give this guy a full cycle to recruit and watch the fuck out.

 

You UNC fans better be careful what you wish for!! I know when old Chucky came rolling into Raleigh how all of us State fans were so excited about getting these Florida players and also wrapping up the top talent in NC and you see how that turned out! I've come to the conclusion that I'll take lower tiered recruits with good coaching over highly rated recruits with no coaching. Also, UNC starts pulling in these top rated recruits from NC and guys from Florida pass word on to Butch that he needs to teach them that penalties are NOT good. I think State's players had that confused somewhere along the line.

 

Uhm ... Chuck Amato is not comparable to Butch Davis.

 

Shouldn't that be the other way around? Or maybe not...In any event...
Butch > Chuck

 

Davis is gonna kill some SEC schools who have been going up and raiding NC for years.

 

I think he's saying that you cannot compare the two.

 

yeah, I was agreeing on his concept....

 

I will be sitting on my couch watching his ESPN press conference.

 

The state of NC was loaded with talent this year. Spurrier and Bowden took advantage of it by raiding it while the big schools went through coaching changes. Butch Davis will have this state locked down next year.
