Funny.. just spent the past year and a half in High Point. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Boring, rude, a little dirty in a lot of sections.. Greensboro didn't look much better either. Spent a year and a half trying to find a job with my just finished degree too. Word of warning: If you don't have 3-5 years of experience, not many there will hire you.

Now I've moved to Florida. I have beautiful weather, my apartment is on a golf course, so nice scenery, and I'm much happier with more things to do. You couldn't pay me to move back to the Triad. Point is, go where you can find work, even if it's out of state. In this economy, beggars can't be choosers, ya know?

I spent some time in Florida, and its one place I would never live unless I absolutely had to. Way too hot, and too many bugs, snakes, rats, and alligators. And no mountains.

I lived in Hawaii for 3 years and its far and away the best place to live in the US imo. Not to hot, not to cold, beautiful scenery, plenty to do etc... Only downsides are the cost and the need to fly for 5 hours if you want to travel outside the state.

Pft.. if I could afford it, I'd live in Hawaii in a heartbeat. That's why it's so expensive, lol. Otherwise, everybody who likes the tropical weather would be there ;)

lol. Everyone keeps saying "boring"; just what are you looking for in a city?

Depends on the degree, as well.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from an AACSB school with my BBA in Accounting. Was one of five outstanding graduates of the year, and was on a ton of student-body/faculty-appointed boards for my school. Admittedly, it wasn't a huge school, but it was a State University and not ITT or something. Between the economy and the fact that I took 2 and a half years off from working to go full-time, I came out at exactly the wrong time I guess. Finished my four-year degree in two and a half years (24 credit summers suck btw), so I could get a head start on getting a job for the TVM aspect.

Yeah.. I fail at life :(

you'll know if you ever live in a real one.

Depends on what you want. I lived in Honolulu, and there was plenty of nightlife and all the things that go with a large city. Wouldn't want and don't need that now. Wouldn't mind living in Hawaii, but I wouldn't live in Honolulu again, or any other similar sized city. I like Winston Salem just fine.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
