Deion is building that OL through the transfer portal. The star of his haul so far is a 6'2" 275 pounder from 3-9 UConn.

 Another transfer from Indiana guy played 12 games only allowed 1 sack. Deion is rebuilding that Oline slowly but surely.

Drake Maye will skip his Bowl Game and declare for the NFL Draft. Duke's QB is transferring to Notre Dame to start, and will miss his Bowl Game as well.

As he should. He's done enough for UNC.

Kinda glad. I really didn't want to go to that bowl anyway but I had committed myself to it if Drake played.

No players who have a legit shot of being drafted should play in a meaningless exhibition game especially one called the Mayo Bowl. Too much money at risk.

Tim not only talks about Maye going pro, but dives into what UNC and other schools should be pitching to guys in the portal and HS when recruiting them.

 

Everyone knows I'm a massive Heels fan. Heels > Panthers all day everyday. Just the way it is.

But I detected no lies. I pissed off a lot of Carolina fans for saying this time last year that Drake should take the SEC bag and transfer. It was in his best interests. I'm gonna do it again this year. Omarion Hampton should take the bag and transfer. Imagine him running behind a Georgia or Alabama OL. If we have a significant drop off in QB play (virtually guaranteed, getting Howell/Maye caliber QBs back to back is just unheard of for UNC level programs) and we're also losing our #1 WR, it's very possible he's looking at at a lot of stacked boxes next year. With the devaluation of the RB position in the NFL, RB draft stock can be a very fickle thing. A QB that checks every prototype box like Maye can have a drop off and still be an elite prospect. A RB can't.

Mack should do the right thing and retire. If he doesn't he should be forced out. His age is a huge hurdle to overcome in recruiting and his team has regressed over the course of the season every year. He's just too old to do the job at this point. He accomplished what he came here to do which was get the program out of the gutter and rebuild recruiting pipelines. Mission accomplish. Ride off into the sunset to the beach house now.

I hadn't heard of Tim until a few weeks ago, but yeah, he doesn't hold back and seems more right than wrong with his takes. He brought up that doing what Carolina did with Howell and Maye was highly unusual too. And yeah, Maye probably should have transferred from UNC last year.

I don't see Mack retiring until his contract expires unless his health takes a turn for the worse. He seems perfectly happy cashing those checks.

It doesn’t. Attendance is at like 50%(averaged) for most teams. It’s actually a huge problem for the sport and the commissioner is losing his poo over it. 

The big teams (Yankees, Braves, Dodgers etc...) carry the other teams.  The Dodgers average almost 50,000 a game over 81 games and gets 40 bucks or more per ticket.  Oakland averages about 10,000.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
