North Carolina Recruiting

Post by DuckMastaFunk »

Can anyone explain to me how a 7-6 ACC team is tearing up the recruiting rankings? Mack Brown just landed another 5 star.

I was wondering too, I went and looked and 95% are in state. Kinda crazy, but at least makes it reasonable.

Mack Brown has always been a fantastic recruiter. North Carolina is a strong state for talent, and UNC has a strong brand. Frankly, why shouldn't UNC out-recruit most of the schools in the Southeastern Conference?

Well if you go to NC you don’t have to actually “play school” and they somehow got no punishment for that, so...

They have great academics and an UNC degree is well regarded.

That's awful and even worse the NCAA turned a blind eye to that fiasco. Guess that happens when you have high academic standards but lax student-athlete admission requisites/standards.
