Travis Shaw is on campus right now. Nice to see both him and Rice coming back for multiple visits.
2022 Recruiting
- Thread starter Archer2
- Start date
Friedman for rivals just changed his crystal ball from Clemmy to UNC for Shaw! That would be incredible
They'll just tell him that he can play DL then switch him to OL and the he'll hit the portal.
Momentum is building. What a time to be alive.
Could Shaw's high school teammate (2023 class) join him in Chapel Thrill?
OL Justin Kanyuk just committed to UNC. Really like the depth we're building on the OL. Has excellent size at 6'7, good pickup!
Hopefully add Rice and that should wrap up the OL for this class. 3 extra large dudes.
Awesome. I also think we have a decent shot with Everette and Lukus.
Just think.. if Shaw commits then in the Fall of 2022 the Heels could start 4- 5 stars and 7- 4 stars on defense.. with quality depth.
Omg! I can feel it in my bones. I think we get Shaw and Rice, other highly rated recruits like Lukus will probably follow. Mack is building this defense back to where it was when he left. I’m as excited as I’ve ever been about Tar Heel football. GDTBTH!
Omarion Hampton commitment date is July 23rd. Would be a big-time addition!
He's a big boy, Javante Williams clone, IMO.
Well I like the returning talent at running back
Add in Chandler
Add in Hood and Edmonds.
Running back room looks great for 2021 and building for the future hopefully with Hampton and Pettaway.

Felt good about him while he was on campus, not as much now. But, could see him decommitting later on. Not a knock on him, I just think he really likes multiple schools.
Agreed. No disrespect to him but I like our secondary with the young guys we currently have in addition to the guys we’re about to bring in for the 2022 class. Plus, we all know the two guys we desperately need on both lines that will break the doors open on this thing.
He just committed! Dominos are a fallin'!
Welcome to the wild, wild west of NIL. Looks like we might actually be better off without any state restrictions as we make our own rules.
Kid has a lot of potential but that position group is stacked. Curious to see how it all shakes out as I think the true freshman this year is the guy for 2-3 years starting 2022.
It is stacked, @NBBears20124ACHAMPS. But you gotta love the fact that he's confident enough to commit regardless. And as you said, he has a world of talent. It's going to be interesting.
Going to be a great recruiting tool when we can point to the $100k Sam is going to make in endorsements.
After watching Mitch struggle (Bears front office partly to blame), I really hope Howell knocks it out of the park.
What happens if a guy at Bama makes $300K, or a guy at LSU makes $500K? What's going to happen to recruiting? Is it still going to be a great recruiting tool then?
I actually think this has the potential to be huge for UNC with the caveat there are still a lot of unknowns, for example, we don't yet know how things play out at the state level, or with the NCAA beyond their interim policy. Just based on what I've heard. The problem is we're behind.
I think we're always going to be behind in a money war with the football titans. The proverbial genie is out of the bottle!
We have a really strong brand. It's what's helped Mack build a wall around the state. The problem is when I google UNC NIL, LaUNCh, etc I get mostly a bunch of garbage or news articles from a year ago. There's just not a lot out there. I know they've been working on it and recruits are getting more info and details.

That's cool. I know we're using the same partner/platform as FSU which is supposed to be top notch.
