Pitt's Cignetti familiar with several North Carolina players

Posted Dec 23, 2009
Pitt offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti was perusing the depth chart of the Panthers' next opponent, North Carolina, and couldn't help but notice one common theme: He was at least partially responsible for recruiting a lot of those players for the Tar Heels. Cignetti was the offensive coordinator at North Carolina in 2006 under then-coach John Bunting and, true to his reputation, made an immediate impact on its recruiting efforts.
