UNC focused on quality, not quantity, of recruits

Posted Feb 3, 2009
North Carolina is expected to sign one of the top 10 football recruiting classes in the country Wednesday. It will include 12 of the top 35 players in the state, seven of whom are rated four-star or higher by rivals.com. The question now is: How will the Tar Heels make room for them all? North Carolina has 29 commitments, which isn't unusual. The bigger concern is the limit of 85 scholarships per year. (Charlotte Observer)
