Another Paulus cometh
So, Duke already has its Paulus, a point guard named Greg. Now, John Bunting has tangible proof that his UNC football program is alive and well with a verbal commitment from a younger Paulus, Mike, one of the top-rated high school quarterbacks in the class of '07. I finally managed to get my story posted here.
I heard back from the Pauluses' father, Dave, this morning. "It'll be interesting on Tobacco Road with two Paulus boys down there," he said.
It surely will. Mike, who backed up Greg at QB for two years at Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse, N.Y., before taking over the position last fall, ultimately chose the Heels over Southern Cal. What this means for North Carolina from a recruiting standpoint was not lost on the family.
"They have a need for a big-time quarterback," Dave Paulus said, "and he can really help their recruiting."
Mike Paulus fully expects to give Cam Sexton, Joe Dailey, or whoever his competition will be, a run for the job as soon as he arrives in Chapel Hill.
