Delvon Simmons surprises by choosing UNC

Posted Feb 10, 2011
From California (Southern California's Lane Kiffin) and Florida (University of Florida's Will Muschamp) to New Jersey (Rutgers' Greg Schiano) and, of course, Western Pennsylvania (Pitt's Todd Graham), many came to the Mon Valley to let Delvon Simmons know he was a top priority in their recruiting efforts. But when national signing day arrived, all of the aforementioned coaches -- and many others -- were left with blue faces when Simmons finally made his announcement. Coincidentally, Simmons' face was blue, too ...Carolina Blue, that is. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
