Can you move your incessant b!tching to a different thread? Are you trying to kill every thread?That's been true the whole time under Fedora. When the 'scandal' was allegedly hurting our recruiting, we were doing rather well compared to the whole ACC.
What does it mean to our future, and not just for 2018, if we already are deep in WR talent and our 2 top recruits this class are WRs?
Let's step aside from football for a moment to get hold of the issue. Let's say a team has the most players in the MLB All-Star game with 4. Two are right handed starting pitchers (one leading the league in strike outs and the other leading the league in ERA) and 2 are tied for first in the league in home runs.
2 great staring pitchers and 2 home run kings? World Series champs for sure.
Not necessarily. In fact, the team could be a loser if: it has no hitter with close to a .300 average and no hitters with good on base percentage (solo homers don't do a whole lot for wins); it has nothing close to a decent relief pitcher; it does not have a single decent left handed pitcher; its fielding is erratic leaning toward poor.
WE could have the best 4th-team deep WR corps in college football history and have a losing record.
The real question regarding our recruiting is: Are we getting enough talent on D and the OL to win consistently?
I do not consider averaging 7 Ws per year winning consistently.
Does that mean you think our recruiting on D is good enough to be in the hunt to win the ACC? To have back to back 9 win regular seasons? Counting bowl games, to win at least 8 games 3 consecutive seasons?Can you move your incessant b!tching to a different thread? Are you trying to kill every thread?
I watched it. They did have some stout dlmen. Did u see wake forest? They had 3 studs on dline as did scotland and hardingDid anybody see the Cherokee game yesterday. I heard they had a couple of nice D linemen but I didn't get to watch.
But 7-6 is better than 5 of 6 Bunting teams. Don't ignore the positives.I agree that 7-6 is nothing to be proud of and should not be considered acceptable.
Oklahoma, Duke and GT all offered. He's a late bloomer. Gotten a lot bigger this yr apparently and has blown-up as an RB, looked great in their play-off run.Javonte Williams, another unimpressive recruit with no offer sheet and no star rating. They give the excuse that he was playing out of position. Lame.
The negative posting is meant for the coaches wasting offers not the signees. Again, if we are not signing the best in the state where we should have every advantage, then we are failing.I would feel a lot better if we got a few more 4* commits soon too but I don't think we're doing any good by posting negative things about any of the guys who are happy to become a Tarheel. Coaches are fair game, they are grown ups and getting paid to do their jobs. New commits got to get a little leeway for now IMO. Maybe a couple turn out to be football equivalents to Luuuuuuke.
How do you expect UNC coaches to fend off Bama, UGA, OSU, and Clemson when they come calling for Zamir White and KJ Henry?The negative posting is meant for the coaches wasting offers not the signees.

That is what we must do if we are going to compete on a national level. I guess you are saying we are a basketball only school.https://m.onenewspage.com/video/20170906/8839161/Sept-sports-WRH-coach.htm

That is equivalent to UGA in basketball trying to fend of Roy Williams and Coach K.
You have poor understanding of the football world if you think this type of thing can change quickly. Clemson had tradition & history (natty champ in 81), yet it still took 6 yrs of great success before they could attract top recruits. We have ZERO tradition or history compared to theirs. For a typical school in the ACC it is going to take several yrs of decent success to get fans attendance up. Then a few more yrs of consistent winning to solidify that traction and success, then a few awesome yrs (big national wins) to be up there with the SEC, Clemson and Mich/USC/OSU types. Given how pissed our fans are over the handling of Butch and embarrassment over the Marvin and AFAM scandals, we have an even bigger up hill. So your expectations are whack if you expect things to happen here overnite. Heck the NCAA just removed their noose a few months ago, that alone was dissuading bball and fball recruits.That is what we must do if we are going to compete on a national level. I guess you are saying we are a basketball only school.

Or are you happy as long as we make some lower tier bowl 3 out of 4 seasons?
3 bowl teams over 4 seasons is definitely better than Bunting.
Is that the ceiling for UNC football?

We had a full 85 on the team last yr.How many scholarships can we offer this year and is in determined?
Looks like Byrd is transferring, so that frees up one.We had a full 85 on the team last yr.
Of the seniors, Tyler Powell will probably return (medical waiver), Bonilla, Perry and Cabrera are taking their hard-earned degree and leaving, so that leaves 15 open spots.
2 of the 85 from last yr were originally walkons (snapper and holder), so their spots are probably up for grabs.
Plus early spring guys transfer, decide they are too injured to continue, flunk-out, go pro early etc. So I bet we'll take about 20.
I have no idea what Groves’s status is, but if he could just stay healthy, I think he might could do Switzer-like things.So who else is leaving to make room for the two OT we badly need (and the Dax and Sandidge we badly) need.
I wonder if Groves and Hatton will return or if their injuries are too much.
oh and apparently we're talking to lots of WR... so that is kinda interesting.
Nooooo. Do we think that might happen?May need to if Adams decides on playing baseball if he gets drafted.
Carolina is in about the same position Clemson found themselves in several years ago. How will we keep the best talent in state and headed toward Chapel Hill?
We need to give the recruits a coach that is southern (not southwestern) that can relate to our area of the country and one that has a vision of what Carolina football could be and the skill to communicate it (to recruits and fans alike). That coach would also have to know that defense wins championships and sometimes a three yard run, although not as sexy as flinging the ball all over the field, is a smart football play.

Spot on. #1 is definitely the most important.lol being from the southeast has nothing to do with it. Dabo uses two key points to get the top athletes.
1. He is selling them an opportunity to play for arguably the top program in the country, in front of a sellout crowd practically every week, at a school where football is king.
2. He pimps his religion and the parents eat that $hit up.
All signs say no very much, though we had him up for a gm or a camp in think. we want 2 OT, then another 2 or 3 that are best available types who are rb, wr, lb or SandidgeAre we recruiting Jovaughn Gwyn? If so any idea where we stand? He is a teammate of Crouch too if I'm not mistaken.
leddie ? Brown?WITH Salahuddin back on the market do we get involved or are we done with RBs?
