Football recruiting steady without John Blake

Posted Sep 24, 2010
When John Blake resigned from the North Carolina football program, it not only lost its associate head coach but also its recruiting coordinator. Blake, who resigned Sept. 5 amid speculation of his involvement with the NCAA investigation, helped UNC haul in a top-25 national recruiting class three of the past four years. Despite the controversy surrounding the program, the time period in which UNC bags its recruits has remained essentially the same as it has the past four years, with Blake’s resignation a non-factor thus far.
