    He feels stabbed in the back by the team his abandoning? What do they teach kids in Jersey?

    ^He can surely transfer, but he sits out for a year, just like the rule states. If Lee Fowler and Oblinger don’t require that after these negative quotes, then they need their collective arse’s kicked out of Raleigh. Also, after the LOI fiasco in basketball, they would be perceived as being on the forefront of destroying every rule that protects a university’s rights in these situations.

    Maybe he saw the way NCSU handled the LOI fiasco in basketball and figured it’d be easy to get over on the administration and the school. The kid can transfer… sure… but he should sit for a year.

    i just want to place a request for a basketball thread. i know it’s a long time until November red-white but maybe there are some bits that can be thrown out there and discussed, like the draft or leslie or how people’s rehabs are going, i dunno. I saw a clip of cj leslie and I didn’t know he was this good, too bad it will be a while until he gets here. we still need a quality guard now. thanks sfn.
