Tar Heel football commits deal with Butch Davis firing
Posted Jul 28, 2011
North Carolina football commits reached by ESPN on Wednesday night admitted they were shocked by coach Butch Davis' ouster amid an ongoing NCAA investigation, but most seemed likely to keep their commitment to be a Tar Heel. UNC had 12 commitments and the 25th-ranked class in the country when Davis was fired. Quarterback Patton Robinette from Maryville (Tenn.) High School seemed unsure about his future, even while continuing his public pledge to enroll at UNC.
