The topic about where North Carolina ranks in the nation for producing major-college football talent usually comes up around national signing day in February.
But with the large number of in-state players already holding scholarship offers from NCAA Division I-A programs, several messages have already arrived in my e-mail posing the question.
While no official national rankings have been formulated, North Carolina would likely occupy a spot in the top 20.
The three at the top are indisputably California, Florida and Texas, which annually have more than 100 players sign with I-A schools. North Carolina, in comparison, has averaged 40 to 60 signees over the last 10 years.
North Carolina’s Class of 2008 appears on a path to fall somewhere in between those numbers by signing day next February.
