GoHeels Exclusive: Early Signing Day Notebook

Given only 22 days to recruit between his hiring as North Carolina's head football coach in November 2018 and the start of the early signing period, Mack Brown still managed to put together a top-30 class last year.

Ultimately, that proved to be an all-important first step in putting the program on the upward trajectory it's currently on. And on Wednesday, the first day of the 2019 early signing period, Brown and his staff continued that momentum with the signing of 25 players to UNC's 2020 recruiting class.

"We felt like after a year of very hard work this is a very, very successful day," Brown told reporters during a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
