TarHeelIllustrated - College Athletics Landscape Shifts Again With NIL Underway
Name, Image, and Likeness has arrived for college athletes, so what exactly does this mean?northcarolina.rivals.com
True. For the first time we might start loosing recruits to Alabama and LSU. The NIL is going to help us keep a lot of local guys home. Those five star kids who are going four states away to be second string, now have a good reason to stay home and start.
I'm sure there is a lot more going on for us behind the scenes that we don't know about. From what I understand, they have already been giving presentations about it to recruits.
Greene got the Clem offer that he wanted so badly , but their first choice is Thompson the kid from Texas that has multiple offers and closer to home ones at that. I hope Greene realizes that he is a UNC priority.
I think recruits are seeing the program on a rise and want to join. The 2 years before Mack = 5 wins, Mack takes over and wins 15 games in his first 2 seasons with a half a dozen losses by 1 score. They see their friends committing and want to join them. Mack, Bateman, Dre, Galloway etc have done a tremendous job recruiting. Can't say enough about Dre and what he's done in the State of VA. He gets to tell the kids "hey, come to UNC from VA and be a star, like I did". A lot of these recruiters can talk, but Dre can walk the walk and talk the talk as he's done it at both the collegiate and NFL level. Sorry to ramble on but I get excited when I talk about these guys and the jobs they're doing. Buckle up, going to be a fun ride.
Agreed. I’d add Cheeks as well even though it seems like a long shot.
UNC loves their OL to be 6'5-6'7, and both fit that mold for sure. Would be happy just to get one of them.
Hell Yes!!! That would be huge! Any possibility we haul in all 3 of Everette, Shaw, and Rice?!
I think those 3 + Pope and Hampton are certainly in play.
No, Clemson's top priority is getting Greene in the boat this summer (hopefully soon after his unofficial visit on July 27 for our annual July cookout) and will continue to recruit Thompson as the 3rd oversign guy because he's not coming until the Fall for an official visit. No comment on who Greene will choose, just letting you know he is priority #1 now at receiver.
Looks like it. Dre and the Heels might nail down 6, maybe 7, guys from VA in the 2022 class.
Bama has multiple 4 and high 4 star safeties and athletes that are safety sized on their board , but who knows?
I said it a few weeks ago -- I think he decommits 1-2 times before he enrolls next year. Had a crystal ball to UNC, Notre Dame and Bama in a 3 week span.
