When Mack Brown was announced as North Carolina's new football coach on Nov. 27, the Tar Heels' 2019 recruiting class ranked 62nd nationally, according to 247Sports.com.
About three weeks remained until the early signing period. Only 10 weeks stood between then and Wednesday's traditional February signing day. Along with hitting the recruiting trail, he also needed to assemble his coaching staff, which wasn't completed until four weeks ago.
Yet, despite such challenges, the 24-man recruiting class that Brown and his staff put together ranked 32nd overall in the 247Sports Composite as of Wednesday evening.
"We signed a better class than I would've ever dreamed," said Brown during his signing day press conference.
