Recruiting can be fragile process

Posted Oct 25, 2007

The intense scrutiny and media coverage given football recruiting these days can often manufacture more drama than a soap opera. A case in point occurred this week involving North Gaston High School quarterback A.J. Blue. The story began Sunday evening when CarolinaBlue.com associate editor Adam Powell called Blue to ask about his unofficial weekend visit to UNC. During the conversation Blue answered “yes sir’’ when Powell asked if he had verbally committed to the Tar Heels. (Fayetteville Observer)
