So who is visiting the Tar Heels this weekend?

With the Army game ending on such a disappointing note, the upcoming recruiting weekend becomes that much more important to North Carolina.

According to InsideCarolina.com, five players are visiting (it would have been six but Clemson commitment Tavaris Barnes says he has cancelled his trip), and the site reports that all five have been offered. Of those five, three are out-of-state cornerbacks—Christian Bryant of Glenville High in Cleveland, Dequan Menzie of Copiah-Lincoln High in Wesson, Ms., and Tre Boston of North Ft. Myers (Fla.) High.

The first two are rated as four-star players (out of five) by Scout.com; while Boston gets three.

The other two visits fall to OLB Darius Lipford of Lenoir Hibriten, who visited Clemson over the weekend but remains committed to UNC, and to former Tar Heels’ commit Reggie Wilkins, an athlete who jumped to N.C. State but is now supposedly wavering in that commitment.

It will be interesting to see what this weekend produces—the Tar Heels’ Class of 2010 needs an upgrade.

Good luck with getting Wilkins to join the Heels. I think he saw the writing on the wall last November. Can't fault the kid for getting some nice visits in before he joins the Pack!

All this talk about the Heels recruiting....what recruiting?

Pack fans keep trying to believe you are something!! The only way you rate your success on the football field is by rather or not you beat the Tar Heels!! We have bigger fish to fry!! Keep watching the bowl games from home while the TAR HEELS keep playing in them!!

Here is who is visiting the Tar Heels this weekend. A bunch of kids who won't sign. But it's ok, once they announce they are going somewhere else, we will learn that only are they not of the proper academic caliber, but they were never actually offered either!

Butch doesn't have to recruit, he just decides who he wants. Any good FB player wants to play in Chapel Hill in between the pines. Go Baby Blue!!

2011 will be a big year for North Carolina... They were the first to offer a lot of kids... The fact is 2011 class is a much better class and North Carolina will have a big year...
