Pack's recruiting coup

Posted Sep 22, 2005

North Carolina coach John Bunting did not confess to any jealousy pangs while watching film of N.C. State freshman running back Toney Baker tearing through Eastern Kentucky on Saturday. No doubt he would have welcomed the Parade All-America player from Jamestown Ragsdale to bolster a Tar Heels rushing attack that currently ranks last in the ACC, but Bunting declined to speculate Tuesday on how close UNC came to snaring Baker.
