Posted Jul 20, 2006

The UNC wrestling program will add 10 newcomers, including three transfers and some of the nation's top prep talent, to the fold when it returns to the mat next fall, head coach C.D. Mock announced Wednesday. The Tar Heels' incoming crop was rated 20th nationally by InterMat. "This year's recruiting class may well be the best we have ever had," said Mock, who has guided the Tar Heels to back-to-back ACC titles. (Tar Heel Blue)
