Sanders among nation's hottest recruiters
Posted Jun 23, 2006
Sanders secured a commitment from five-star wide receiver Dwight Jones early in the process and also closed the deal on linebacker Albert Craddock. Both players were top targets in state for the Heels and Sanders has UNC heavily in the mix for Rivals100 cornerback Marcus Gilchrist. UNC is off to its hottest start in recruiting since Mack Brown was in Chapel Hill and Sanders is one of the big reasons why.
