Three recruits say they'll stick with UNC
Posted Oct 25, 2006
At least three members of North Carolina's 2007 football recruiting class are standing firm in their commitments after the firing of Coach John Bunting. Jonathan Smith, a linebacker prospect from Durham, and Jay Wooten, a kicker from Laurinburg, intend to play for UNC if the next coach wants them. Dwight Jones, a receiver from Burlington, said that he would still play in Chapel Hill despite Bunting's dismissal.
