Nothing finer than Carolina prospects

Posted Nov 3, 2010
The Tar Heels' tumultuous fall has not hurt in-state recruiting, thus far. UNC still holds the No. 12 overall class that features 10 homegrown commitments with at least a three-star rating. T.J. Thorpe leads this group, and the silky-smooth skill prospect will likely play receiver for UNC and return kicks. Keep an eye on running back Travis Riley (Kannapolis, N.C/A.L. Brown), who's a sleeper with a good combination of size and speed to wear down ACC defenses. (ESPN.com)
