Butch Davis on Over-Recruiting
Posted Feb 5, 2009
UNC signed 29 football players on Wednesday, and coach Butch Davis says he expects to have the full NCAA allotment of 25 in camp by the fall. His mindset when it comes to the idea of "oversigning": "We did it several years at the University of Miami, and basically what you're trying to do it target kids that want to come to the University of North Carolina,'' he said. "We have a plan for every kid that falls into that category."
