The player you might care about this year ... DE Donte Moss
What it all means to the real world of college football: This is the type of statement, historically-good class that Tar Heel fans might be talking about a decade from now. With almost a dozen recruits rated four stars or higher, including coveted QB Bryn Renner, Carolina has significantly narrowed the gap on the rest of the ACC. Coming off the momentum from last season, Butch Davis has the program on the tarmac and preparing for lift-off.
