Hard to believe...You used to be able to get a degree at UNC after your freshman year, a PHD in a couple of months as a Soph, then just hang around campus your jr. and sr. year..

UNC has higher admission standards than we do but his grades could be really bad.

It is interesting that he stated he had been thinking about flipping for a while and playing time was his motivation.

Any time you have a chance at a kid that can upgrade your position, you do it. Upgrade doesn't mean the kid starts his freshman year or is a first round pick.

But upgrade means he comes in and automatically passes garbage like Hemsley and Mayes and improves our depth (maybe pushing more of the crap out sooner than later, too ). He's a good cb prospect.
