    UNC and football recruiting

    Don't follow recruiting much. Ended up looking at some of it today. How is UNC recruiting as well as they are? They have 1- 5* and 11 or 12- 4*'s along with a bunch of high 3s.

    Seems like that kind of came out of nowhere. Surely a coaching change wouldn't make that much of a difference even being Mac Brown.

    Mack Brown is 1 of the better recruiting coaches of our generation. It also doesn't hurt this is an all time great North Carolina Class Instate. They have 17 commits with 14 being Instate. The 1 5* if from Virginia & not far from where Dre Bly, UNC DB Coach, grew up. He's also enrolling next month so he'll go to the 2020 class & their class will drop some. They're not doing anything crazy though but locking up home.

    Just looking at the make-up of their class - looks like North Carolina is having a solid year for producing prospects, and UNC is benefiting. Throw in a 5 Star from VA, and they have a stellar class. The were #19th last year.
    I think Mack doesn't always get his due - the guy is a stellar coach with a Natty.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    If I am not mistaken the last time Brown coached at NC they got as high as number 3 in the polls.

    Oh, I know. I was referring to how they eventually ran him off and how they've basically been a shit show since.

    I think it was time for Mack to go at Texas. He had a stretch where he won 10+ games 9 straight seasons. However, his last 4 Seasons he avg 7.5. I think his situation was similar to Les Miles. 2 guys who had done amazing things for the program it was just time to move on. They just haven't gotten the coaches to pick the train up back on the track of elite ness.

    Yeah, I can agree with that. Good Les comparison, too.

    It would be nice if there was a generational class like that in Mississippi and we cleaned up house like that.

    NC is loaded with talent this year and Covid has killed recruiting, so they're staying home.

    It would be a lot easier if LSU wasn't to our left & Bama/Auburn to our right.

    Well, one, Mack Brown is outstanding recruiter in terms of communication. Secondly, they have very, very good recruiters:

    Tommy Thigpen, Jay Bateman, Robert Gillespie and Stacy Searels are very good and I bet it doesn't hurt to have one of the best college corners in the history of NCAA in Dre Bly

    I mean they have Clemson and Georgia right below them.

    It would be nice to stop making excuses for recruiting in football for a change.

    NC won't win shit. Mack Brown's old ass will probably retire before this class finishes. The man was incoherent on tv. NC would be down the recruiting rankings if it weren't for Covid.
