Inside the North Carolina football recruiting class
Posted Feb 23, 2011
Despite all the turmoil that surrounded the UNC football program last season, the Tar Heels might have proved that any publicity is good publicity. All the negativity that surrounded the team sure didn’t hurt head coach Butch Davis and his staff on the recruiting trail. After the national signing period began on Feb. 2, many publications ranked the Tar Heels class of 2011 as one of the top 15 classes in the nation. InsideCarolina.com writer Don Callahan spoke with The Daily Herald about the 2011 class, the big surprises and even a local prospect.
