He’s a loser because he lost here . He has good programs after him because he’s talented. He gets to write th rest of his story because if it all clicks he’ll have an All-American level year somewhere….
He was our best player.
On offense. He was impressively disengaged on defense.
Not the whole season.
I have to agree. He was the best player on a lousy team . He also seems to be a head case, and he better get that straightened out
The team defense was better in the beginning of the season, when he wasn't playing. I don't think that's a coincidence.
By far
.
For sure a long shot to sign Dylan. Agree it is a risky endeavor. He is the #8 rated hs player in the country and if we could get him at a reasonable price, I wouldn't say no. We do have a couple of connections with Coach Brunt (recruited and coached his brother at PSU) and with Kiyan (who he was hs teammates with at L.I. Lutheran). Not that often we have a shot at a kid ranked that high.
But again, he's a potential 1 and none like the Creighton kid we're after. Unless there's a contractual obligation to year 2, why pay year 1? He can just go back to UNC for more money year 2 when healthy.
You make valid points. Some of this stuff can be discussed and clarified to each party. Also do we know the extent of his health issues? I have to know more before I would say yes or no.
Presume since it's enough that UNC cut ties it's significant but who knows. I'd feel differently if he'd committed to Cuse to begin with but here we are.
Nope. That would be pay to play. Verboten.
I feel like I'm following you around echoing your Donnie Freeman takes.
Anything is possible if it's not written in a contract. But that wouldn't pass the clearinghouse. Would have to be a verbal agreement and I wouldn't advise anyone to do that.
hah pretty much. I've heard lots of crazy stories about what schools do and don't put through...whole hidden underground world.I think you can make anything pass the clearinghouse.
That's the flip side of the Wild Wild West we now live in. Players can move every single year, and you have to pay them to stay, so why would a school invest significant money on a player who needs to develop or get healthy during Year 1? Once they have developed or gotten healthy on your dime, they can leave, having provided you nothing for your investment, and go to the highest bidder elsewhere.It’s right in the article.
“Given his health may be in question, how could the Tar Heels justify paying him top NIL dollar for a high school recruit to have him redshirt, leaving them with a big void to fill on the roster and less financial flexibility to work with.”
Seems like a valid reason to me.
