Posted Feb 15, 2007

Athletics director Dick Baddour on Wednesday would not comment specifically about the case of Burlington receiver Dwight Jones, a highly-ranked recruit who signed with UNC. The (Columbia, S.C.) State reported that Clemson's Athletic Advisory Review Committee had turned down athletes who signed with other Division I schools, including Jones. Baddour said Carolina's standards for admission are the same under new coach Butch Davis as they were under former coach John Bunting. (Raleigh News & Observer)
