Recruiting analysts rate Tar Heels class as No. 1
Posted Oct 18, 2005
After winning the NCAA title in April, North Carolina is No.1 again - in the recruiting rankings. Recruiting analysts Bob Gibbons and Dave Telep said Monday that last weekend's commitment of 6-foot-9 Brandan Wright vaults the Tar Heels over Ohio State and gives them the No.1 class in the nation. "It could be the best class since the Fab Five," Gibbons said, referring to the Michigan 1991 recruiting class that is considered the best ever and included Chris Webber, Jalen Rose and Juwan Howard.
