ACC football recruiting breakdown
Posted Feb 1, 2011
The Tar Heels lost two recruiting battles to Rutgers last week as Savon Huggins and Max Issaka both chose the Scarlet Knights. North Carolina is now in a bind at defensive end as they have missed on just about all of their targets at the position this year. If the Heels can hold onto Travis Hughes, which appears very likely after Hughes visit this weekend, they will have done pretty well at linebacker, but the coaching staff would love to add Curtis Grant.
