Which recruit will change schools at last minute?

Posted Jan 26, 2009
Durham defensive back A.J. Davis refueled a fading rivalry between UNC and N.C. State by his actions on Feb. 6, 2002. Davis originally committed to the Tar Heels and head coach John Bunting. But then-N.C. State head coach Chuck Amato continued to pursue Davis right up to the final hours before signing day. Amato admitted later he pulled out all the stops to land Davis, including serenading him with a Dean Martin song over the telephone. (Fayetteville Observer)
