2025 recruiting....

[UNC-75]

With the ongoing deterioration of college sports due to paying the “student athletes” it’s only a matter of time until we see incentive “bonus pay”. Examples: Double your NIL pay if you win a natty. 25% bonus if you get to the final four. 75% bonus if you play more than 1 season for the team you sign with. I could go on and on but my point is this will be a natural progression of NIL. Then will come a salary cap in a failed attempt to equalize matters. So sad to admit that college sports are dying quickly with such unforeseen consequences of a poorly implemented NIL policy.

You see the UNLV quarterback just quit on his team 3 games into the season over a NIL dispute? He claims they owe him promised money. Other sources claim his family hired an agent and tried to extort more money after the team started 3-0. Dude only completed 43% of his passes for around 300 total yards, over 3 games, and now he wants the big NIL money.

I hold out hope that the reports of college bball's demise are seriously premature! I believe we will see a correction back toward the original intent to fairly distribute the wealth!

I like the idea of an automatic increase if athlete stays with the same team another season. I would like to see a cap on what freshmen can be offered for one year, but no cap on what player can negotiate outside of the school.

My post was not directed at you, but more to people like Dave who whine constantly that “we’re” not ponying up enough NIL money to buy 5* players. I understand the “reality” of college sports today, I just don’t have to like it. And I’ve pretty much unfollowed all college sports. Haven’t watched a single UNC basketball or football game in the last two years. In the past I hardly missed one. I used to post very regularly but don’t anymore, just occasionally when some jerk like Dave strikes a nerve. I assure you one thing, no more sweating which recruits we do/don’t sign or game results(even d00k) for this UNC fan of over 60 years. It was a helluva ride while it lasted.

I understand and generally feel the same about the state of college basketball. It’s sad to see what it has become, but it’s apparently the new norm.

Couldn't find a thread on 2026 recruiting

Sounds like how the coaches are compensated with bonuses. Salary cap has already been agreed upon in principle.

 

[NTD 1956]

The 2025 class looks bleak at best. You have to pay to play and Carolina refuses to bid. I don’t like the system but Carolina is failing miserably since the season ended in buying players.

How many top 20 recruits have committed? Enough of the doom and gloom. Geez!!!

 

[UNC-75]

GG and Dybantsa

Interesting story.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Well Notre Dame just successfully bought one about an hour ago.

It's not about how many have currently committed. It's about the fact that every recruiting analyst on the planet will tell you UNC is unlikely to land a single 5-star in the 2025 class. And when you couple that with UNC's failures this summer recruiting the transfer portal, it paints a very clear picture of the current state of UNC's NIL recruiting.

GG and Dybantsa

Interesting story.

IC really stretching the limits of journalism with that one. The kid who lied repeatedly to Hubert, and then decommitted and left us in a lurch, posted a comment about our wall of Jordan sneakers.

I like the idea. Kinda like I was saying before. I don’t like the way it is now and if it’s gonna continue at least make it justifiable with some incentives. Get something in return

 

[TPFKAPFS]

GG and Dybantsa

Interesting story.

This is an excellent turn of events on two fronts:

1. It puts the ridiculous rumors surrounding GG's botched decommitment to bed. It is clear the young man was pulled by outside influences against his own wishes!

2. It can only help with convincing AJ and other top recruits that UNC is a great place to work toward your goal!

What an unexpected breath of fresh air!

You heard the man, Mr. Dybantsa-join the Family!

I thought the GG thing has been put to bed…Kid wanted UNC but Momma said no…I thought that was how it happened…

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Per 247, we have 18 offers out to 2025 recruits. Is that more or less than "usual"?

Has the portal changed that much? Has changing coaches changed that much?

 

[TPFKAPFS]

Sounds a bit heavy to me. I know Roy didn't like to cast a very wide net, but he was slowly changing in his last few years. Must be tough to navigate these days. Portal and having to re-recruit your team every year must mean less time to spend on traveling to see HS prospects! I would guess this is why we are casting a much wider net. I bet Hubs is telling some peeps to jump now before someone else takes your spot!

 

[TPFKAPFS]

I feel like momentum is on our side these days! I'm optimistic by nature so I feel good about a class including:

Dybantsa, Mullins, Denis, and Dixon. Any 3 of these is a pretty good class! Get on board guys, nothing like winning and becoming part of a forever Family at the same time!

Go Tar Heels!

 

[DSouthr]

FYI, Dixon is announcing tomorrow at 3 on an On3 YouTube channel. Very good chance he becomes our first 2025 commit.

I wonder what negative spin Captain sunshine @davechappel will put on that?🙄

Things are feeling better, now we need some ink on the paper!!

It's a GDTBATH!!!

We're not getting Dybantsa or Mullins.

I'm not sure who we are going to get aside from Dixon and probably Denis. But we could have as many a 9 scholarships to use, and it's pretty awful we aren't going to get any 5 star recruits.

Lol

If we land a 5 star, will you stop posting? That would be fantastic.

 

[DaveChapelle]

and if all the recruiting analysts are correct and we miss on all the 2025 5-star recruits, are you going to stop posting?

 

[2DDIMOND]

Shocker that he didn’t answer the question directly. He answered the question with a question. I know I’m on ignore so he won’t read this.

 

[Sk1310]

I don't flood the board with constant negativity

 

[DaveChapelle]

No i won't take that bet because I know you're right that there isn't a single 5 star recruit we are likely to land in 2025. I don't know why I feel the need to troll you and start arguments with you when all you're doing is posting facts.

Thought so. Putting you on ignore since you feel the need to attack people for posting recruiting facts.

 

[Sk1310]

Why are you making things up? You are an epic troll. Attack? Thats what YOU do in response to everyone. Put me on ignore you immature clown.

 

[Sk1310]

Apparently we have the highest offer for 3 of its remaining targets in the 2025 class. If Dixon commits to us today that's a good sign this is true. Mullins is split between IU and UNC. He loved the UNC visit and HDs plans for him.

How many one and done players win championships?

Dudes a clown, don't even respond to him

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Dudes a clown, don't even respond to him

Eventually he will have all of us on ignore and won't have anyone to spew his negativity at

Don't know and honestly don't care! That goof is totally irrelevant to me. It is so refreshing for me to not have to see the nonsense he spouts, I have him perma-blocked.

 

[DaveChapelle]

How many one and done players win championships?

NCAA Championships: Marvin Williams, Tony Bradley, Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd Gilchrist, Carmelo Anthony, Jahlil Okafor, Justice Winslow, Tyus Jones, Stephon Castle, Omari Spellman, Marquis Teague, probably some others I can't think of

Conference Championships: too many players to name

Final Fours: too many players to name

Anthony Davis, and Melo are the only two I can think of that was leading there team to a championship. Love Marvin and he was an excellent guy to come off bench on a championship team.

Hate to say it, but Okafor maybe belongs in that convo with Melo and Davis.

 

[NorCalTarheel]

We are on the 2025 recruiting scoreboard with Dixon!

Welcome young fella!

That's just the beginning. Denis might commit while on his visit..

Dook doesn’t win the 2015 title without Quinn Cook. Those freshmen were nice but he was the glue. I’ll add though that if freshman Tripper doesn’t hit that 3 when they were down 9 in the 2nd half, Wisky wins that going away. That was a big lift for the blew devils.

Nobody said anything about leading the team to a championship. Just how many one-and-dones have won championships.

The reality is that a lot of one-and-done players have been part of really good teams that have won a lot of games. They don't always win the NCAA title. But if you start looking at things like conference championships and Final Fours, you'll see a ton of one-and-done players on those teams.

 

[superstar57]

Dave, I did mention OAD players being leaders of national championship teams earlier in this thread, but I did see where yourself and another poster had your own conversation going that did not mention.

However this obsession with we got to have OAD players has gone on years before Roy retired, in fact it really started to become a subject during the Marcus Paige era. Of course we still managed to get some, but not in bunches. In fact Colby White was a 5 star, but definitely wasn't suppose to be OAD. Nassir Little was suppose to be OAD and was, but he was not "great" his year with us. Cole Anthony was suppose to be OAD, and I make the excuse he had a suspect team, he was not great with us.

I am trying to point out that our last two sure fire OAD players really didn't do anything for us. Some assumed EC was OAD, I saw him as a two year guy after he reclassified.

 

[Sk1310]

According to Mullins dad, HD will be doing an in-home with Braylon Monday or Tuesday. Some other highlights from the interview:
• Braylon was very comfortable on his UNC visit
• Braylon wants to play right away and UNC might have more available playing time than IU and Uconn
• Sean May being from Indiana helps
• He tells his son there is no wrong pick between the 3

 

[NorCalTarheel]

Hopefully football game experiences play no role in Dybsanta's decision 🙄

Alabama beats Georgia in an incredible game on his visit and we poop the bed, giving up 70 to JMU.
