Editor’s Note: Since my previous article talked about UNC’s (probably) shady recruiting. I figured a logical followup would be Richard Hefner’s (Pitt-Cocks Fan) writeup on their actual team. Very data heavy for you numbers guys. Enjoy & feel free to draw your own conclusions.
North Carolina
A Way to Early Look at Roster Changes
The object of this series of articles is to discuss & show the roster changes for the upcoming 2020 season. It will not be a player by player review. These articles will review All ACC team player losses/returners, Transfer Portal activity & recruiting results. If there is time, I may circle back to teams after the spring practice Transfer Portal rush.
I will be using Rivals recruiting data but 24/7 transfer portal activity. I was not able to find a Rivals transfer database but did find a 24/7 site. https://247sports.com/Season/2020-Football/TransferPortal/
So, any star/points ranking related to the portal are 24/7’s not Rivals.
Note: The 24/7 data base I am using runs from 8/1/19 until 7/31/20. Players who left a team after that start time are included. A Player who transferred to a team are included even if they played during the 2019 season (Ex.-John Petrishen) or could be a walk on. On my own, I do not include any transfer portal entry who was not ranked coming out of H.S. or was classified as a 2-star unless I can easily verify that he was a major contributor.
Let’s get started.
North Carolina is in the 2’nd year of Mack Brown’s 2’nd tenure at North Carolina. This is his first true recruiting class. The class was an excellent one. Rivals has their 25-man class ranked as the 16’th best. It included 9 4-stars including one Rivals top 50 and another 4 or 5 who made the Rivals top 250. Like Florida State, the Tarheels class averaged 3.28 stars which translate to a 3.62 3-star.
Per Rivals, below is the 25 recruits by position. Highlighted is the most/tied for that position in the ACC for 2020.
This is a snapshot of the last 5 years of recruiting:
For Tex, this is the number of 5.7’s and above for the last 4 recruiting periods.
North Carolina record over the last 5 seasons:
2015 11-1 Conference Championship loss, Bowl Loss 11-3
2016 8-4 Bowl loss 8-5, 2017 3/9, 2018 2/9 (game scheduled with UCF canceled due to hurricane.) 2019 6-6 Bowl win 7-6
At this time, North Carolina has not signed anyone off the portal.
North Carolina has 6 returning (covering 7 position) All ACC honorees:
Note: The Class shown is for the 2019 Season. For the 2020 season Jr. are now Seniors, So. are now Juniors.
Sam Howell is the jewel of the returning honorees. 3’rd team QB behind Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence & Virginia’s Bryce Perkins. He was a true freshman in 2019.
The above was a brief snapshot of who North Carolina added & returned for the upcoming 2020 season.
Who did they lose from the 2019 season?
North Carolina lost 4 All ACC honorees:
Looks like a hole to be filled in the interior of North Carolina’s defensive line. But they only recruited 1 DT in 2020. They did recruit 5 DE’s. Is the plan to have somebodies getting up & eating PB&J sandwiches twice a night?
North Carolina had no early entries to the NFL draft.
North Carolina has 9 players entering the “Transfer Portal”:
Just one of the 9 has found a P5 team to call his own. I regret not finding & tracking the portal activity for last year. It would be interesting to see the effect of new coaching hires & what ever is going on at Virginia Tech.
North Carolina’s future looks bright for the next two years. Howell at QB will keep the offense in the game. Will their defense improve enough to win the Coastal?
From Chris Peak’s Rivals site – Panther-lair
https://pittsburgh.rivals.com/news/around-the-coastal-the-north-carolina-tar-heels
I didn’t do a review of Pitt but here is Chris Peak’s review of Pitt.
https://duke.rivals.com/news/around-the-coastal-the-pittsburgh-panthers
I wholeheartedly welcome these analyses because, if nothing else, it alerts POVers what the Panthers will be up against. FB fans tend to focus on its own team (I know I do) without much consideration of what its opponents are doing. And of course, this year with much of Pitt’s 15th ranked defense returning, what can possibly go wrong?
I believe these analyses of ACC opponents will enlighten us a bit, and that the prediction of a few analysts of Pitt 6.5 wins this year may not be that far fetched. I will still think Pitt can and should do better (remember, last year, it was 5.5), but it will certainly mot be easy.
Great job Rich … and I can’t think of a better subject matter

What officials don’t know is if you can catch the virus again or have total immunity. I can also see social distancing being practiced. Every other seat seating. So stadiums at no more than 50 percent capacity. That also means no tarping. A crew of sanitation workers would need hired to constantly wipe and spray things down. Some more changes to the new normal. So I disagree with the ivey eggheads. It can be done.

By the way this whole Mack Brown recruiting gone bigtime, is somewhat tainted. Much like the Johns Hopkins Corona sick map. (but that’s another story for another day)
So the No. 1 recruit is a kid named Drake May. And all these sites are like freaking cause supposedly Brown flipped him from Alabama. Well in fact that is true, but if you dig a little you uncover the truth.
Do some research (same as the Hopkins sick map) and you’ll see this was all a setup.
Drake Maye is the son of former UNC QB Mark Maye(starting QB ’84-’87) and this kids brother is Luke Maye who was recently a pretty good all-acc Forward for UNC’s bball team.
This was all planned(the committing to Alabama & the flipping to UNC), as Drake was ALWAYS going to UNC.

Once again, I am disagreeing on the No. Car running game – its was there in the 2019 game. 8 players made All ACC honors at running back. 2 each on 1’st, 2’nd & 3’rd teams plus 2 honorable mentions. Of those 8, 2 were tar heels. Unless there is an overload of voters from North Carolina, they already have a supposedly good running attack.
Could it get better? Yes. Could Pitt’s get better? Yes.
LikeLike
I wonder if Drake Maye gave Alabama (or the bag man) his $500 back 🙂 It seems to me that the overall maturity of the returning ACC teams will be the deciding factor this year, not the incoming recruits. Skipping Spring ball probably hurt the recruits who started early to attend Spring practice. And there will not be much coach/player contact before Fall camp. So the teams that return most starters and have coaching continuity will probably do the best this year.

^^ BL, I agree and hope that a flaw may have been found in Howell’s game and do think there are some.

He has issues and I will leave that as is.
Richard, that’s my point, with teams only allowed 85 scholarships at any one given time where are the extra players constantly matriculating year after year? I know PITT has players leaving each year with eligibility but the question is….. are these players leaving for another college team or the NFL. According to the chart above, it doesn’t look like they are turning pro and I raise this as a question. Thanks my friend.

Ike – I think I know where you are coming from but I do not know anything about the ins & outs at North Carolina. I thought I could look at Pitt & their 105 signed recruits over the last 5 years for insight. According to my data Pitt still has 5 scholarships to give.
Probably my data is wrong. What I am sure of is the 18 recruits from the ’20 class is Intact. So is the 19 recruits from ’19. That’s 37. Only 16 left (from 20) in the ’18 class. That’s now 53. The ’17 class started with 24 & now down to 17, Total is now 70. The (now red-shirt) ’15 class is down to 8 either due to graduation, transfers & medical reasons. That’s 78. Throw in the TE & QB transfers & only 80 schollies. The missing five are either walk-ons that now have schollies or in the pocket for must have grad transfer(s).
Anyway, all that probably went/going on at North Carolina but with slightly larger numbers.
Maybe someone has better insight on how many scholarships Pitt has.
