Posted Oct 17, 2005

"In the grand scheme with UNC's recruiting class, I thought it was going to be hard for someone to chase down Ohio State,'' Dave Telep said, referring to the school that already has landed the top prospect in the nation, Greg Oden, as well as a top-five point guard and top-three shooting guard. "... But with the addition of Brandan Wright, [the Heels] have landed the mother lode of recruiting classes." (Raleigh News & Observer)
