But they will get the college experience that you so often talk about when players bolt early. And a worthless degree is usually better than no degree.

Speaking of degrees, there needs to be one based on athletics. Something where you would learn about finances, media, sports medicine, etc. These are things that will help these guys in the career they want. Even if they don't make it as a pro, that would be a valuable degree. Could help get them a job in a lot of areas of sports.
I disagree on both of those now. The college experience that was once a valuable thing exist no longer. And while at one time I would have agreed that any degree was better than no degree at all, I can't say that anymore. In fact, I've done a 180. I think the less time kids spend in college, the better. Today, if you're not getting a math based degree and keeping your head down, going to class and then getting as far away from campus as possible, then you'll be infected with inane woke academia sponsored bullshit. Best to keep as many kids away from that toxic environment as possible.
I agree with you about less people going to college, but we disagree somewhat on the reasoning. That's kinda getting into politics though, so no need to **** this thread up with that.
completely false…and who’s needle are you judging?
fact is, if you’re student athlete and you graduate from your university, at minimum, you’re set in your state…is it mostly about relationships, sure…unless you’re a d-bag or a c u next tuesday, you’ve got it made.
That's awesome. I didn't realize they had something like that. Maybe add something like an exercise science or whatever those course are called. Something that could help if you wanted to go into the medical/trainer side of it. I hope our staffs are highlighting that as something that allows them to stay around what they love even if they don't make it pro or when they retire.
ETA: Just noticed there is an exercise science class listed as a recommendation if you want to go the grad route.
there is a ton of twitter chatter about nance still being on campus…this would be a fantastic addition.
Apparently, his visit will be extended through next May.
Expectations are going to be... not just high... but, the highest! I hope HD can deliver something similar to last season. That's sort of the rub, I guess. When you go to the NCAAT Championship game, beat the dookies in the FF, and send K off with a W (at CIS and the FF), you've got a gigantic order to fill the following season.
He has the horses, for sure.

if he doesn't commit then, I think our chances really drop off.
easily the favorite…it’s going to be fun.
we’re going up next weekend for “the tour” with our 16 yr old and staying a couple of nights.
Unfortunately they will be too high. Easy to get knocked out of the NCAA tournament playing an average game against a bad match up or a team just plays out of their mind.
It's very difficult to get to the FF. I don't care how good your team is on paper, or their past record, or who is coming back, etc.. Lots of things have to fall into place at just the right time.
However, as I said, the Heels definitely have the personnel to get it done.
In other news, Tar Heel legend Lenny Rosenbluth passed away today at age 89.
Everything we know and love about Carolina basketball started with him. RIP, #10.

I think we may be getting ahead of ourselves regarding our goals for next season. Firstly, the primary goal is to beat dook as many times as we play them while qualifying as an eight seed or better for the NCAA. That will be a step forward from this past season. We'll figure out 'secondly' later.
