Heels jump in football recruiting ranking
Posted Jan 27, 2010
A significant jump in North Carolina's recruiting rankings on scout.com shows just how important Monday's news was for the Tar Heels' 2010 class. Scout.com had the Tar Heels' class ranked No. 48 in the nation at the end of last week. After Roanoke Rapids defensive end Kareem Martin and Crest High athlete Reggie Wilkins committed to North Carolina early this week, UNC jumped to No. 42. "Yesterday was huge for them in the state of North Carolina," scout.com regional analyst Miller Safrit said.
