After (finally) being able to watch the press conference, read the transcript, and think on the class for a few hours, I think this class is really the completion of the rebuilding project that Coach Davis inherited when he arrived to Chapel Hill. This class, while certainly more "balanced" as Davis described it, also represents the commitment to speed and skill that the Miami dynasty was built on in the 1990s and early 2000s.

This is also a prime indication of the coaching staff sticking with their strategy and not going for players they didn't feel comfortable with. A lot of the players who are now future UNC student-athletes came to summer camps at UNC, competed in front of the staff, and impressed them enough to earn scholarship offers. It seems to be an increasingly more prevalent trend with Coach Davis as he builds this UNC program - he knows what he's looking for, and isn't afraid to offer a kid who he thinks will help this program, whether they are rated as a 5-star prospect or a 1-star prospect. It's a little harrowing for recruitniks to see a bunch of players who are VERY much under the radar as a part of the class (guys like Quinton Alton, Carlos Gray, and Nick Appel come to mind), but in the end Davis has shown that he can not only identify talented players, but he can develop these players as well, which is equally important if not moreso.

So after listening and reading, it seems as if this class is exactly what the staff was looking for. They would have liked to have had Casey Turner as a part of this class obviously, but other than that I don't think they were very disappointed in the way this class turned out at all. And if Coach Davis is excited about the class, then I think you have something special.

Well, this is really the culmination of H2TheBSOfA's coverage of National Signing Day 2010. It's been a pleasure bringing all of the news and information to you, and hopefully I'll be able to do it next year.

We will go back to our regularly scheduled blogging atmosphere...just as soon as I pass the hell out and get some much deserved rest. Go Heels, and thanks again for being a part of Hail To The Brightest Star Of All's 2010 National Signing Day coverage.
