[4] McGuire moved to the University of North Carolina in 1953, but continued to build his team around players from New York City.
[4][5] He was one of many "street agents" who recruited for out-of-town colleges at this time, including Howard Garfinkel, Walter November, Aldo Leone, Fred "Spook" Stegmann, and Mike Tynberg.
[8] In 1957, Rosenbluth, along with fellow Gotkin recruits Pete Brennan, Joe Quigg, Bob Cunningham, Tommy Kearns, and Lotz led North Carolina to a 32–0 season and a triple-overtime victory over Wilt Chamberlain's Kansas Jayhawks in the 1957 NCAA University Division basketball championship game.
[7][1] Gotkin later recruited Doug Moe, York Larese, Lee Shaffer, Billy Cunningham, and Larry Brown for McGuire.
Their investigation found that Gotkin had been reimbursed what appeared to be an excessive amount of money for recruiting expenses without providing itemized bills.
