UNC recruiting and drop off[edit]

I reversed the prior edit for several reasons.

First the statement below contradict it self.

“However, Crum's teams tailed off noticeably after 1983, in part because he didn't have as much success recruiting high school players as had his predecessor, Bill Dooley. In fact, most of his best teams in the late 1970s and early 1980s were made up largely of Dooley recruits.”

According to the statement Crum did have success in 1981, 1982, and 1983 with his own recruits but that was all do to Bill Dooley.

Secondly, Crum may or may not be a bad recruiter at North Caroline but just because you are a UNC grad and you say it so does not make it fact. It shouldn’t be hard to find sources to back it up.

Maybe you’re the passage read something like …..

”After 1983 Crum’s success at UNC dropped off which some contribute to his lack of recruiting success.”
