I guess we need to recruit some LBs
- Thread starter blazers
- Start date
I hate we have lost Payton Wilson, but his comments show that football environment does matter to these kids. Of course he should have known our lack of butts in the seats before he even committed.
Not sure he was referring to the stadium....
Andre Smith never redshirted.
Yes it matters. Generally, players do not seek a medical redshirt until they have to (i.e. Smith wouldn't do it this year).
I'd assume he'd do it in case he'd like 5 yrs of scholarship to hone is skills, nail down his degrees, etc.
Yes, but my understanding is you do it at the end of your eligibility, so he wouldn't do it now. I could be wrong.
for a medical hardship waiver, a student-athlete has to meet the following criteria:
- The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school.
- The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury.
- The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season.
- The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater.
yes, unless he wants to take his degree and move on or submit for nfl draft, etc. I kinda bet the latter occurs, but it would be pretty awesome if he wanted to play that 5th yr. That type of luck doesn't happen to unc though
He's not that good, tbh.yes, unless he wants to take his degree and move on or submit for nfl draft, etc. I kinda bet the latter occurs, but it would be pretty awesome if he wanted to play that 5th yr. That type of luck doesn't happen to unc though
If he was a real man, he'd want to help put more butts in the seats with his play on the field. But he's a smart-azz punk who deserves mooo. F him.
As a Pack fan, I fully understand and appreciate the frustration associated with Payton’s flip, but that’s beyond harsh.
It's understandle that a teenager changes their minds but that smart ass comment just makes him look like a punk.
Will the NFL draft him next year, say by Round 4? If so, don't count on him in Carolina Blue for a 5th year.
Almost all guys who can be drafted after 4 years will go NFL. The days are gone when you could redshirt NFL talent and have it on campus as 5th year Seniors.
And Andre could very well be one of them. A lot of these guys realize that playing in carolina blue will be/could be the highlight of their lives
The flip, and who it was to, was going to rub people the wrong way. The way he did it, his actions and comments from start to finish just guaranteed that he will forever been seen as a lying little punk who did what he did with malice aforethought.
