I don't get this decision either. My brother in law is a big Tar Heel fan so I follow them more closely than some other random teams. I know the whole "legacy" thing is a big deal with Carolina families so maybe his Mom's influence is more powerful than normal. Can't remember if both parents are UNC grads.
They have been a pretty good team but fell off the map this year. Their fans say it was related to QB and a big rash of injuries. Fedora is not held in high standing by a sizeable number of their fan base. I don't see them contending for the division title for a while so it doesn't appear Barnes is competing for the conference championship soon. (Of course, you could recruit against the Gators using the same argument). Chapel Hill is a lovely town but football is clearly the stepsister to the basketball team.
Maybe he's just going there for family/comfort reasons and to prepare for the NFL. Not every player yearns for championships.
Good conversation from our favorite Director of Recruiting.

What Momma wants, Momma usually gets. And the package deal doesn't help UF.
Nice pickup. Will be interesting to see how the coaches use her in this new 3-4 alignment
She talks about winning the "home state"! Priorities!! Butters was worried about getting his full buyout....
Supposedly they won’t be able to sign a full class. So they may only be able to add 2-4 more. Just going off what the Noles I know are saying

They had 3 current players leave yesterday and 1 today (QB JJ Constantino).

UNC has been a great public university for longer than UF. I thought a few years ago that we had passed them up, but a recent check seems to indicate that we have not. But both are outstanding schools and offer far more opportunities than a hard-working football player is likely to be able to take advantage of.
There’s “pretty easy” at most major programs, and then there’s f$u-level stupid. unc went full f$u stupid and got exposed. Until UF is caught teaching classes with coloring books, UF offers a more real education to athletes.
But yes, to the average student, unc has a great reputation for academics. Most acc schools outside of tally have earned that reputation.
come on man. Urban has the last visit you don't think he's in the game?
I have a co-worker getting his degree at Rollins. More than one class has featured “graphic novels” aka comic books in the syllabus. $474 per credit hour.
come on man the government pays $20,000 a year or more to educate or train these kids in whatever they want. the fact that 60 to 80% of them choose graphic novel literature, social justice awareness, or cosmetology really shouldn't surprise you. All that math science engineering and computer stuff is hard. Leave that to the Asians.

Cosmetology. My job once entailed calling students with very high ACT and SAT scores, high enough that they would likely find cosmology interesting. I told one young student that she would probably qualify for a full scholarship to the university and asked if she were interested. "No", she said, saying she was going to the local community college and study cosmetology. She said a cosmetologist could always find a job and this way she could stay home and eat her Mom's cooking and get her Mom to do her laundry.
Never have been sure that she didn't choose the better option.
