Lot of smoke that Tyson is entering the portal

[DaveChapelle]

Just a heads up

Just a heads up

That comports witth what I heard about an hour ago. Seems he has changed his mind.

 

[Archer2]

If I’m the GM/coach, I’m definitely not offering him anywhere near $750K to stay.

yeah, his $ per point is on par with Greg Odens stats. Well, maybe not to THAT degree but my point stands.

I’m offering a decent deal to leave!

 

[KinstonNC]

Screw that, just change the locks and kindly ask for a refund.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I assume this means he's leaning toward leaving.

Does this have anything to do with expectations that we get Catchings (or some other competitor for Cade's potential PT)? Or has he just decided UNC isn't a good fit?

 

[vbrs]

I hope he leaves. We can use the money we are paying him for someone else!

 

[AllAboutHeels]

I would think UNC is not going to pay him that money even if he stays. If he stays without money, I would still take him

 

[tarheels0015]

Maybe we're getting 2 for 1 .. JS & KC to unc .. CT out

 

[gosburn]

That would be 0% surprising. Why would anyone be alarmed?

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I do not hope he leaves, but I do think staying is probably not in his best interest.

FWIW, it creates a vacant scholarship position. Not that those with 6-figure NIL deals need a scholarship (serious moment: not directed at Tyson at all). But that is a conversation for another thread. Lol.

Plus, now that we can have 15 on scholarship, no need to worry about running out.

I wonder how many we'll end up using. I doubt we'll even get to 13. But I hope we don't stop at 9 (which is where we'll be if Drake and Cade leave, High doesn't rejoin the team, and we whiff on Catchings).

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Can Zayden enter the portal? Just curious how it works, not suggesting he should. If I'm correct that he's off the team, is he still eligible to enter the portal? I mean I'm off the team, too; so can I enter the portal?

I'm assuming that being in the portal affords some visibility, which could be useful.

 

[UNC-75]

Are you allowed to be a member of the team but NOT on scholarship? In other words you play for NIL but do not count towards one of your teams scholarship. If possible to the extreme could a team have 15 scholarship players and 15 more paying their way by using a fraction of the NIL $ to pay tuition?

I assume the answer is yes, since we've had starters on Morehouse scholarships and such in the past.

Seems like a mess to me.
