I doubt they'll lose any recruits even if they finish with a losing record. Mack is not much of an in-game coach, but he can definitely recruit with the best of them. The problem is that his teams still often underachieve even with all that talent, yet that talent rarely leaves and he continues to pull in highly rated recruits. He's lucky to have that one national title, and that was more due to Vince Young having a game for the ages rather than any great coaching on his part. My own guess is that they'll continue to bring in lots of talent and will continue to fall short of expectations pretty much every year, because Mack is a mediocre game coach at best and his UNC assistants aren't any better.
