Posted Mar 22, 2012

Not only has UNC not lost any recruits since receiving penalties that included a one-year bowl ban, the Tar Heels actually gained a couple. Suwanee (Ga.) North Gwinnett all-purpose athlete Donnie Miles and Charlotte Mallard Creek cornerback Brian Walker committed to the Tar Heels over the last few days. (Rivals.com)
