Montel Harris is only the 4th best RB in the ACC

At least that is what the All-ACC selection committee says.

Luke Kuechly made First team All-ACC as a freshman with the second most votes overall, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Anthony Castonzo was also first team, second most votes by 4 (53 to Jason Fox' 57)

Matt Tenant joined Montel on the second team. I would love to say that Montel got snubbed but the ACC is just loaded with RBs this year. The reality is that he was behind Dwyer, Williams and Spiller. Williams is a beast and I've never been a fan of QBs being a product of their system so I don't think Dwyer should be susceptible to the same argument. Most of Spiller's merit comes from his explosiveness in the all-purpose yard category but hes still pretty brilliant and it would still place Montel on the second team if he move ahead of Spiller. Then again it also speaks a lot that a top-5 Heisman contender is only the 3rd best RB in the ACC.

The good news is that next year Montel will be running behind a (hopefully) vastly improved passing game, a line that should be just as much of a beast as it was this year (only potential issue could be Spinney and protection calls) and he can be spelled by a budding star in Finch and a capable back in Phifer instead of running 41 times.

In other news we also got two commits from a local big-body and an athletic Safety. Sylvia gives us some more depth at Safety (if he ends up playing there). While I'll never complain about getting more talent I am getting slightly wary of the legitimate lack of prospects along the d-line, especially DE as I've noted before.
