Carolina’s 2006 Recruiting Class Makes Its Mark

Posted Nov 18, 2010
Seventeen Tar Heel seniors will be recognized before kick-off Saturday, and 13 of them are members of coach John Bunting's final signing class in February, 2006. It's always an interesting process to take a look at who signed in a given year and then see who's left four and five years later. This was certainly Bunting's best class of the six he signed as the Tar Heels' head coach from 2001-06. (UNCLettermen.com)
