Pirates can boost recruiting leverage with win in Chapel Hill

Posted Sep 18, 2009
Much of the underlying buzz to the noon kickoff in Keenan Stadium, especially that being felt by the respective coaching staffs, will be generated by thoughts of the future, not the present. Fueling those thoughts will be the UNC sideline, which in addition to its usual occupants will be populated by a group of gifted high school players being courted as future Tar Heels. The game, which will be broadcast on ESPN2, understandably carries with it a great recruiting opportunity. (Greenville Daily Reflector)
