Star Recruit Little Chooses Notre Dame Over UNC

Greg Little, the prized four-star wide receiver from Durham, NC, elected to play football at Notre Dame today rather than his hometown favorite North Carolina.

Little announced the decision at an 11:00 AM press conference Thursday in the lobby of Durham Hillside high school.

He was expected to announce his decision at a press conference several weeks ago, but decided at the last minute to narrow his decision down to the two finalists of UNC and Notre Dame.

Little's decision follows a trip last weekend to South Bend where he watched the Irish defeat the Heels.

Tar Heel fans were hoping that recent reports of Butch Davis becoming North Carolina's new football coach would have caused him to lean towards UNC, but that wasn't the case.

At any rate, it speaks highly of what the North Carolina program has to offer in that choosing between UNC and a traditional football power like Notre Dame was such a difficult choice for the young man. Best of luck to him.

From a North Carolina fan's perspective, I've heard nothing but great things about the Notre Dame program and their fans from fellow Tar Heels who made the trip to South Bend.
