Tar Heels off to hot start in football recruiting

Posted Aug 3, 2010
Entering his fourth season, Butch Davis is trying to make UNC more than just a basketball school. Many feel the Tar Heels have the talent to challenge for a division and conference championship this year, which is a testament to Davis and his staff's recruiting ability. Davis, known as a very good recruiter with a great eye for spotting talent, has built the Tar Heels from the ground up through recruiting. Beginning with his first class in 2007, Davis and his staff have brought in top-25 recruiting classes in three of the past four years. (ESPN.com)
