If you look at that list by how I've defined it (materially better than us is > 0.15 stars/recruit), North Carolina is not one of them. Its Clemson, Florida State, Miami. That's it. Then there is another group of teams who usually do rate better than us, but by pretty small margin, like 0.1 to 0.15. That's Virginia Tech, North Carolina, NC State, and Virginia...although they rotate in and out of there from year to year.
For some time now, the top 3 in recruiting has been Clemson, FSU, and Miami. Let me tell you though, Miami and FSU are places that four and five stars go to die. Both of them get less out of their talent than anyone else in the ACC. I don't pretend to know why that is but the Reverend would get these great players at Miami and invariably they would fold like a cheap suit. Personally, I see no reason why we cannot come to own the Coastal in a few years. It will just be a question of beating Miami and hoping Virginia Tech continues to track downward without UNC or UVA catching fire.
