Man saw Chapel Hill and said nah this aint for me.lol

Sad to see him check out.  He knows Cadeau and I guess he figured he wouldn’t play much,  very disappointed with how easy it is for these kids to jump ship like this.

Jumping ship is the new college basketball. The parent in me says good for the kids. They finally get to get paid by these schools. New era for sure.

Good for the kids in the short term with the NIL $$$. Not sure if it's good for them in the long run though. Kids are just going to jump to other teams instead of hunkering down and actually working on their game to earn PT. The elite kids who were always going to be NBA bound will be fine. But the guys who end up developing from say top 50 type recruits to legit NBA prospects are probably more likely to be hurt by the current environment. Basically guys like Simeon Wilcher.

College Basketball is the new AAU, this poo is ridiculous.

It's true. They're going to have to find an answer to this or it's gonna start hurting their bottom line as fans get turned off and start tuning out. College basketball is already a shadow of what it used to be anyway. Growing up in NC in the '80s and '90s Tobacco Road basketball dominated this state in terms of sports fandom.

If they eliminated the 1 and done that would be a start.

 

Then if they put a cap on NIL for each year you've been at a school that would help

 

Year 1 500k

Year 2 million

Year 3 5 million

Year 4 10 million 

 

This would encourage good college basketball players to stay at the school they originally committed to but not force them to do so.

 

If you blossom your Jr Year at belmont and can bag 10 million dollars as senior would you leave to go play for ucla for 500k

 

Those are just made up numbers but incentives to Stay at one school makes sense. Nba does this to encourage players to stay where they were drafted

Showing your age. I get it. It's frustrating as longtime fan. But this is the new era of college sports. We might not like it, but it's not going to change. The newer generation of fans will love it. Our time has come and gone.

 

Embrace it we all get older. Times have changed and it will continue to change.

Football will be fine. The game is booming. College basketball had been in decline for decades now and this is only going to speed that decline up.

In theory your cap per year idea would make sense but the policing of it would be practically impossible given the sheer number of schools and players.

It will decline sure, but the game is not going anywhere. 

I don't think it's going away by any means but I do expect it to continue to decline in popularity and relevance. So called "basketball schools" are gone. Basketball is an an after thought to football. The schools that haven't already figured that out are either behind the curve or simply know they don't have the resources to compete in football given the larger costs involved.

A 4 star recruit who can’t shoot suddenly finds himself on the outside looking in after being recruited over and tougher competition to get in the starting lineup. If he is afraid to compete against Withers, Trimble, Ryan and that recruit from the Ivy League then so long pal. Not to mention he is probably gonna get a bag from a St Johns donor and not have to pass the ball next season. 
 

of course, the bigger story here is that this is a late transaction that can be promoted negatively against UNC and that moves the needle. If this were to happen at VaTech, Clempson, NC$T, or St Johns nobody would care or probably even notice. 
 

wish the kid the best but thank you for giving back the scholly.

Who said anything about basketball being more popular than football?

 

Of course football is more popular. My point was basketball is not going anywhere even if it declines. The NBA is the most popular basketball league. Honestly college basketball has been in decline for the last decade.

 

I remember growing up we use to have college basketball parties for the UNC/Duke games. The trash talk during and after the games were fun. Then we would go to school and talk about it with the teachers. Those were the days.

 

I honestly don't even watch much of the regular season anymore. I tune in during March Madness.

That's my point. It's declining and the decline is likely to just intensify. I expect the NBA to emphasize the G League more and more.

I don't know what you mean by "not go anywhere". Yeah, college basketball is going to continue to exist but it's already nowhere close to what it used to be and it's trending straight down.

I mean, college baseball exists but does anyone actually care?

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I personally think Bryce is going to be an extremely good Quarterback for a long time. If you look at modern QB development, it just takes a while. The extreme athletes can get by early, but if you look at the trajectories of guys the last 10 years, were seeing a lot of slow-cooking. Jared Goff, Geno Smith, Baker, Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence. The list is long.  The guys that were truly special from Day 1 is an extremely short list. The list of things that college quarterbacks are responsible for gets shorter by the day with the transfer portal, and the college offenses. The list of things that NFL Quarterbacks are responsible for seems to get longer and longer each season.  I saw an interview the other day in which a rookie quarterback and center were calling plays for the offense.  I can't remember the team or the Quarterback, but I definitely remember the clip. It takes time, even for the smartest and most gifted, and the reality is, we have no idea how good or bad the coaching may be until we hear things we aren't supposed to hear anyway.  Bryce isn't perfect, but I saw in another thread, his biggest struggle is risk/reward. That is something I only expect him to improve upon. His adjustments, ability to read a defense, and execution have been extremely good considering our rosters in his tenure here. Our offensive personnel and coaching were both so poor his rookie year that I'm not sure it's fair to properly evaluate that at all. Since that time, all we've seen from him is growth and progress.
