Can someone explain the disconnect here?????

FYI, I just checked, Syracuse is bringing in 4 four star recruits as freshmen this coming season and already has commits from a 4star and a 5 star from the 2016 class....And their head coach has been suspended, scholly reductions and post season bans...

Theory for them was to attempt to load up as they will be on the short end next season.

Well the Cuse info is revealing VERY revealing, as their troubles as far as basketball are FAR worse than ours. YET.........................

AND remind me exactly who they are recruiting against? Coming to the ACC has really helped them too.

MIkey, 4 four star recruits coming in as frosh this season, one 5 star and one 4 star already in hand for the 2016 class. Are you really asking who recruits 4 & 5 star talents?

Isn't this just a matter of expectations? When compared against any school not named Duke, UK, KU, and Arizona, UNC's basketball recruiting the past few years has been excellent. Even after missing on a lot of prospects last year, UNC still has a 10-deep of top 100 (and mostly top 50) players and should have another good class this year. Most schools would give anything to have UNC's quality of classes. With that said, UNC's goal is not to be top 15-20. It's to win championships. That's where the drop-off has made a difference.

Football recruiting is nowhere near as good as basketball recruiting -- but it nevertheless doesn't seem too bad because football recruiting was never expected to be elite (i.e., the fact that UNC is ranked 32 by 247 composite seems like a win).

Wow dlew71, those numbers are impressive, ya got to feel for the kids that are getting the smoke blown up their shorts.

I don't. They are gullible and none of the math is very advanced when you just look at the fact that at each level the number of players needed shrinks dramatically. The problem is almost everyone of them thinks he is a superstar. Just look at the unknowns who apply for the draft.

We just got a football commit form a 4 star DT from here in Va Supposedly the 2nd best DT from VA...GREAT news of course


Now football has been doing fairly well with recruiting recently, we are certainly not on the level talent wise with the OSU or Alabama or any of the top ten programs. But Fedora and his staff are out there and getting solid talented players that are being sought by a LOT of big time schools.

They are doing this with ALL of the NCAA crap hanging over the football program ... the possible sanctions etc the negative recruiting all of that

The SAME info is out there for football players,, their families, coaches etc and RIVALS to trash and attack us( and they ARE dong it!!!) .......YET the commitments still come

Meanwhile Roy can NOT get a commitment to save his life .We lost Ingram to the Dark Side and will likely lose Giles as well.

IMO NONE of the TOP players we want are gonna commit to us UNTIL we get that NCAA situation settled. Which in all likelihood will not be before late Winter/early spring 2016


Point being.... What am I missing here??? how can the football program ,with arguably a GREATER chance of penalties levied against it, continue doing pretty well recruiting wise , while the basketball program is just STUCK, grinding our gears and HOPING that we can get someone,, hell anyone, to commit to us BEFORE the NCAA rules.

Someone offer a reasonable explanation please

Thank You

How many on here would be happy with a composite 3* , 12th best player in Va. , 419th best in nation and 39th best in nation at his position in basketball.. Even divide these ratings by 4 and tell me again.
