Per his twitter account

"It was all a misunderstanding... it is what it is"
"@Im3Fly what's good bruh. This ish crazy. I'm dun with high school ball mane"

How many HS coaches allow a mere 'misunderstanding' to cost him a 5* HS All American?

+1

Wow just wow

Good night John Boy , Good night Jim Bob...but seriously dismissed from the team and a secret team in his final 5????

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Do not want. Period. And I felt this way before this incident. Lots of people, whose evaluations I trust, have soured big time on KJ's play/potential the past year.

 

[HeelFan58]

anymore intel on reason for dismissal?

TOS says fighting.

With a team mate? Maybe a sucker punch like that coward Dante Paige-Moss?

 

[HeelFan58]

LB with a little bit of a mean streak.....not too shabby.

 

[Baby Debo]

Not worth the effort, think he's privileged.

So an alledged 5-star Senior who should be leading his team to a state title, quits on his teammates, and blames the Coach for a mis-understanding?

Sounds like a bonafide pri-madonna too me, and one the Tar Heels can certainly do without....

Carolina don't need drama queens, they need football kings!

 

[GoNtheDistance]

run run run from this kid

Especially as we now have the D playing sound team football, with good attitudes. One giant ego could ruin that.

 

[Archer2]

Withholding judgement but doesn't sound good...

I'm going to assume Fedora and staff have a much better read on Joyner than any of us. He knows the constraints he's working under and has generally recruited higher character kids than the previous coaching staff. If this is a bad situation, I expect Fedora will walk away.

You take this kid...2nd chance for him to prove people wrong...Try to help him don't throw him in a ditch...Now he knows from the start this is your chance....Don't blow it.....Kid is young....Take Him....

I actually kinda agree with this. If the kid comes in knowing he's on an extremely short leash he might get his act together. Assuming this was an isolated incident.

But lets be honest, he'll probably end up somewhere in the SEC since the standards are more lax.

I don't want him due to on-the-field concerns, not off....

He is not even listed as "warm" for UNC anymore on a certain other site that many on this board have an agenda against. Neither is Lawrence.

I've kinda moved on from Lawrence. Haven't felt like we have a chance, for quite awhile now.

I think Fed has also. A couple of sources say he will take the helicopter to W. Charlotte tonight to visit Marlon Dunlap.

What's happening with Lawrence I thought we were in pretty good shape with him?

 

[sctarheel30]

As for Joyner I trust the coaches will make the right decision on him. Would love to have him

For whatever reason, it just isn't clicking between either party. There's a ton of rumors circling, but IMO he goes to Florida. He's been a fan for awhile IIRC, and they're having a great year right now, especially their defense.
