Very nervous about his draft status, not gonna lie. IMO, he's a threat to not get drafted.
He most likely saved me the token $10 that I would have thrown on him at 100/1 odds or whatever they would have been next year to win the Heisman.
He must have heard something positive about his status or I have a hard time believing he would announce. Of course it's possible he just thinks he's ready and can prove doubters wrong, but I'd be surprised.
I think Mitch was out the door regardless, but this 100% gives him zero reason to come back. There's no way without Hood in the backfield that he could replicate the numbers he put up this year, and thus it would hurt his draft stock.
Yes, way too many running backs this year in the draft. However, why should he stay. Worst utilization of such an offensive weapon in the history of UNC football.
Next year is going to be a bad year for football, mark it down.

Agreed. I'm guessing he couldn't mentally go through another year of getting 1st and Goals at the 3 and knowing he wasn't gonna be getting his number called.
i would like to read some theories on why fedora made so little use of logan and hood. please.
we had two running backs hood and logan who averaged nearly 6 yds/carry so many running plays were positive.
Exactly. Even this year with a beat up OL and Hood injured at least half the season, we had good rushing yards and averages per carry.
I think is a short hand way of getting at something I increasingly think is true: that Fedora is what I call an ideologue coach, at least on offense.
I have said the same about Roy Williams. Roy recruits and coaches one way, for one main purpose: to get up and down the court the fastest to get off the most shots, and thereby control the tempo of the game to wear out opponents. The downside to that system is that it is rare to find players who fit that scheme and can and will play tough, smart half court D, especially on the perimeter, and can nail 3s consistently.
At rimes I think Fedora is not quite certain what to do with top RBs. At times I think Fedora outsmarts himself in play calling, refusing to give the rock to the RB precisely because that is the best play.
fedora is like lane kiffin -- simply grinding out yards on the ground doesn't showcase his brilliance, or maybe it's boring for them i don't know. i just heard a good analysis of the title game on espn and one guy said the team that can establish a balanced attack on the ground and the air will most likely win. when fedora figures that out carolina will be a contender.
You're out of your g**damn mind, and that's as nicely as I can put it.
A perverse part of my brain is starting to hope Fedora leaves and that we return to Bunting suck levels, just some of y'all negative nancies can realize how idiotic your bashing of the Fedora era is.
Hood leaving means we will be thin as can be at RB next year. Thin and with no experience. And that on top of seeing 1 promising RB transfer out and no real RB development the past 3 years or so.
Is it all bad luck, or do we need another RB coach? Yes, Porter as LSU RB coach had a boatload of talent, but any RB coach at LSU could have that much talent. I could be Orgeron's RB coach and have as much RB talent as Porter had when he was there.

Well, he's perfectly entitled to do that. That sucks, I thought he would've been the staple of our offense next year.
Someone else alludes to the point that our rushing was feast or famine. One fifteen yarder, plus a 1 yard gain and a minus one provides a 5 ypc avg which is pretty on paper but means the run is actually a risk play since two-thirds of the time you only get a yard or less, putting yourself into 2 and long, etc.
Hood's declaration for the draft has nothing to do with the Fed Spread or his number of carries. That's all I can say. So if that comforts you, then good.
So it's likely a rumor and we will know shortly if it's more than we've already heard.
Lol dude you're a member. Just go to Blue Heaven. It's pinned. I just posted on it.
Haha! I just got it. No point in bitching that a membership is worthless if I really don't know. I like my negativity to be informed.
