Why the early success in UNC football recruiting?
Posted Aug 2, 2006
Recruiting analyst Jamie Newberg answers that question----You can look at many things to their early recruiting success this season. First, this is the University of North Carolina, a great school academically with super facilities. Second, it's a school in the new ACC. Head Coach John Bunting has now been there five seasons and that means stability in a great conference. On top of that he is a super recruiter and the kids love him. He also has an aggressive staff when it comes to recruiting led by Recruiting Coordinator Dave Brock and Linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen. ( - 3rd question down)
