Soooo...the timing on this question is awful, I know...BUT...

Where do college kids get money for an engagement ring? They run like 10 grand. I was lucky to have $10 in college.
 
Just another example why Joel is da Man!

Gets a natty, his jersey in the rafters, a UNC degree, and a Carolina girl!

Bad timing?

I just said something similar to my DH & DS. :eek: This is really bad timing. Hopefully, Joel has a wealthy family member. This is one of those threads that I wish would never have been posted on a UNC message board. Not now anyway. Regardless, I'm happy for them & hope they spend the rest of their lives happy & in love.

Good thought. That could be the case. I don't believe Joel would do anything to jeopardize the program. He loves UNC. I don't think he's guilty of anything. It just doesn't look good right now.

Call me stupid but what is DH&DS?
 
Rings don't have to cost 10,000. I bought my wife a very nice engagement ring for a third of that. We live within our means and that's what we could swing. Plus interest free for a year made the payments doable. No reason to be concerned here at all.

Or maybe, just maybe, the kid is good with the money he earned from previous jobs, like back in HS, saved it and maybe even invested it just so he could one day buy his future fiancee a nice ring. Or maybe his parents bought it. Or maybe it was any number of legitimate ways he, like many other young men, have managed to do the same thing without having to take money from a sleazy source. Like use one of the hundreds of credit card offers they throw at college kids these days and put it on one of those. I am sure he is assuming he will be playing pro ball somewhere in less than 6 months and can pay it off. Even if he doesn't, I doubt he will be unemployed long doing something that earns him enough money to take care of a credit card bill.

Gee whiz people! Kid just got engaged, let's be happy for him and his lovely future wife and not assume the worst.

Oh, I agree. I know Joel wouldn't do anything to hurt UNC. My question about timing was him worrying about getting married as the most crucial stretch of the season is approaching. We need him focused. Heck, maybe it will be a relief and he'll find his shot again.

Regardless, I wish them both nothing but the best.
 
Congrats to Joel. It’s preety clear that he is a winner in everything he does. I wish both of them all the best, nothing better than two Heels uniting, looks like we’ll definitely have Berry Jr’s coming to Carolina. And meeting his future wife at Carolina will certainly add to another reason why Joel loves UNC. This is just the start of a great next couple of days for Joel and our Heels.

Marcus, JJ, Harrison, Ray Ray and Mcadoo all have been married recently, looks like another wedding for Ol’ Roy to go to and celebrate with his guys, time to break out the dancing shoes for Jump Around.
 
Guys, I wasn't insinuating anything. It was an honest question that I'd ask for any college kid who forked over money for a ring.
