The ACC, led mainly by UNC and Duke had a heck of a month of basketball recruiting in May. I've already written a couple of pieces about their successes, but another school that did surprisingly well is Florida State. The Seminoles, coming off a dreadful season, outfought UNC for 2005 big man Uche Echefu and then took a player away from NC State. Aaron Holmes had previously "committed" to the Wolfpack, but fell sway to Leonard Hamilton's magic and spurned Raleigh for the swamps of Talahassee.

Tim Stevens of the News & Observer breaks down the month's haul here.

ps. The trend continues, as NC State yesterday landed guard Larry Davis. Davis is a 6'3" combo guard out of New York and is ranked #73 in the 2006 class. Herb Sendek better delete Leonard Hamilton from Davis' cell phone.
