Battle for NC: New coaches change landscape

Posted Sep 22, 2007

Last year, the Heels finished with the No. 17 recruiting class in the nation. It was helped by in-state talents such as wide receiver Dwight Jones, athlete Greg Little and defensive tackle Tydreke Powell. Still, UNC signed just four of the state's top 20 prospects. The core of the class came from national recruiting efforts. Of the Tar Heels' four commitments in the Class of 2008, just one – quarterback Braden Hanson – is a North Carolinian. (Rivals.com)
