Reggie Wilkins has changed his mind again.
The senior wide receiver/defensive back from Crest High in Shelby, N.C., said Monday that he has committed to a football scholarship at North Carolina, continuing a topsy-turvy recruitment in which he has now committed three different times.
It started in September when Wilkins, who's ranked the No. 22 player in North Carolina overall by The Charlotte Observer, committed to the Tar Heels after watching them blow out The Citadel in their season opener.
At the time, Crest High coach Roy Kirby said Wilkins and his brother have been Tar Heel fans all their lives. But in December, shortly after attending the Wolfpack's come-from-behind defeat of North Carolina at Carter-Finley Stadium, Wilkins committed to N.C. State.
On Monday, though, Wilkins said he has committed to North Carolina. He declined to comment further, though, saying he won't give any more interviews until after national signing day, which is Feb. 3.

Good for the kid. Follow your heart.
Go Pack!
He will figure it out when he is looking around Kennan wondering where all the fans are in the midst of a 6-1 season.
enjoy the "gameday atmosphere" - bwhahahahahahahahahahaaaaa
As a Heels fan, not sure this kid is the kind you want in your program. You want kids who believe in what you are doing and understand where you will fit in that. Any program that has a kid playing "wishy-washy" before he even steps foot on the field does not bode well for the future. He better be either real special or real smart (academically)
If he wanted gameday atmosphere, he would have not joined the ACC. Bwaahahahahahaha. Oh wait he couldn't have gotten an SEC offer, unless it was Vandy.
SEC SEC SEC
Let's get serious. He could not have gotten into Vandy, but easily into all other SEC schools. Comparing ACC and SEC in academics is like comparing JUCO to Ivy League. Sorry, but true. Just compare SAT's and graduation rates for all schools and conferences and see to what I am referring.
Anon @ 7:39 - can you point me to a place where I can find evidence of the inferior academic standards for the SEC as compared to the ACC (aka the Ivy League of the South)? I've heard that argument for years but no one has shown me the proof. Maybe it's there - I just don't know.
SEC lowered its admission standards in 2008.

That answers only a small part of the question. They've lowered their admission standards to match the NCAA standard - it says nothing about comparison of academics. Thanks though.
Neither one of these schools want this kid. He has one attitude...its all about me. If you watched him play in high school, you noticed that the only thing he cared about was himself. If something didn't go his way, he got mad and would "show out". I would never want this kid playing on my team. He has no desire to play team football. He may be a good athlete, but he will be detrimental to any team he plays for.
Think with your heart, not your head. The Heels can use someone with this type of decision making to drop them after a loss to their rival. Go Heals!
Everyone needs to remember that this guy is just a kid. Teenagers are famous for changing their minds. As far as "game day experience," I was at the Carolina/Miami game and the place was rockin'. Plus it is an awesoem campus.
As far as academics between the ACC and SEC, US News and World Reports annually ranks the top universities in the nation. In public universities the ACC has 6 ranked in the top 30 including 3 of the top 7. The SEC has only 2 with their highest ranking school being Florida at #15. Among all schools Duke is #10 while Vandy is #17.
