How far are hoops powers from gridiron greatness?

Posted Feb 13, 2009
It's not a stretch to say the Tar Heels will be the most complete team in the ACC next fall. What coach Butch Davis has accomplished in such a short time -- both on the recruiting trail and in changing the culture of the basketball school -- has been remarkable. UNC had a top-10 recruiting class and signed 13 four-star recruits. Watch how quickly those recruits -- especially those on defense (see: DE Donte Moss, LB Kevin Reddick) -- upgrade this team.
