I've been a fan of his work, but this girl and him cowering in her presence is hard to watch.

In 2023, UNC was ranked #31 in recruiting, with 6 4 stars and 14 3 stars according to 247.

In 2025 they were #36 with 4 4 stars and 26 3 stars. They also had the number 9 transfer class.

For 2026, they are currently #13 with 2 four stars and 10 3 stars.

So maybe a little improved, but nothing significant. It’s still early I guess.

BB’s Super Bowl rings matter little compared to the school’s NIL coffers. So their success will be based on who they can afford, same as everyone else.

Feels like the old BB is gone and replaced with end of days Orgeron at LSU.

Look at North Carolina's 2025 schedule. There are 8 or 9 wins on there. It's the ACC its not like Belichick is in a meat grinder. He will win some games there. People are focusing on stuff that doesn't matter.

It’s just propaganda

Idk about their roster, but he has put together a pretty strong staff including Manny Miles as an offensive assistant.

Its the ACC not the SEC or B1G. Their schedule is a joke and over half that league doesn't care about football.

I mean lol. Do you think that UNC has just been steamrolling through the weak ACC?

Even in a weak conference as you call it, UNC finished tied for TENTH last season.

You’re saying players don’t really matter and this should be a cake walk for them.

I’m not sure why you’re this confused on this one lol

Last Year is irrelevant. There was a coaching change for a reason. Nobody is saying NC will win the league but they should be able to get to 8 or 9 wins with that shite schedule.

#13 is GOOD. There are good SEC teams that won’t rank that highly.

That ranking has more to with the amount of players they have committed. 12 total players already is a lot. Most teams have 6 or less committed. Teams that are ranked ahead of UNC like Iowa state #12, Arizona state #11, Syracuse#10, Kansas #8, etc are ranked high because they also have 12 or more players committed.

They need to move conferences to get the caliber of player they think they should

Bill will have to spend through NIL to get talent. But he's so cheap he won't do it.

Take that with a grain of salt though. At this point it’s just about who has the most people committed. Too much movement between now and signing day

If I am a 4-5 star prospect, I am not going to UNC to play for Belichick. I think Belichick is at minimum unfocused if not experiencing some mental decline.

Agree that they'll win around that number because Mack did that. Will be interesting if the media treats being like 2023 UNC like an accomplishment though.

They lost 2 games in the last 30 seconds last year. Just make 2 extra defensive plays and they are 8-4, even with everything else going on

Unless he can find more eligibility for Brady, this will be the outcome.
