Posted a 74.0 PFF pass block grade and 53.1 run block grade.

“From what I understand talking to people close to the situation, UNC was caught off guard by this ultimate decision. Pounds came to Carolina and informed them of offers he was receiving, hinting at an exit, but Carolina showed a willingness to match said offers to keep its homegrown talent, and word got back to the Lane Kiffins of college football to increase any offer to the point where Pounds didn’t even come back to the Carolina coaching staff with a final number. UNC hasn't given up in its pursuit in trying to sway Pounds back, however the consensus seems to be he was already out the door.”

So Lane is a cheat because your guy wanted to leave for more money?

You're keying in on using the word "tampering" without actual evidence of tampering.

This happens around the league so much that it is now called "pre-portaling." GTFO with the tampering bs.

Its the same excuse that people used to pull out about paying players 10 years ago. Everyone does it and its accepted as the standard

EVERYONE is tampering dingus.

And technically it’s not tampering when an outside third party with zero affiliation to the school is doing it.

What’s the NCAA going to do?

Get butt fricked in court again?

When he is offering money to players on other teams to get them in the portal? Yes, that actually is cheating.

It's not legal no matter how common it is, and when enough coaches complain about it, the NCAA will have no problem smacking down a program like Ole Miss.

Seems like comprehension levels of this board is dogshit and you’re reading the OP as you’re wanting to read it……instead of what it actually says.

And even still…..it’s a UNC beat writer. College beat writers are generally a solid mix of homerisms and sour grapes.

They’re impotent. Michigan is playing for the natty after sign stealing and getting a notice of allegations. LSU stole money from a children’s cancer hospital to pay players and nothing happened.

If the NCAA tries anything they will get big dicked in real court once again. They’re a joke. And no one will comply with an ncaa investigation ever again. Especially when it involves them trying to interfere with the free market.

This dip shite beat writer is saying “the Lane Kiffin’s of college football” same as saying the Alabama’s or Georgia’s of college football. He doesn’t know shite and is speculating using blanket terms. Reading comprehension is almost as bad as this Carolina guy’s writing skills.

This is a lie.

If the NCAA decides to target Ole Miss, Sankey will help them and officiating will go unfavorably for Ole Miss.

I will LOVE IT if he starts against LSU next year.

Labeling comments as homerisms and sour grapes doesn’t change facts.

So let’s stick with those. Best way to dispel rumors is to clarify if the player was in the portal or not.
