UConn class of 65 had a starting offensive lineman who was a pharmacy major with organic chemistry and harder courses but that era didn't require the time working out and practicing that football requires today. Football is the major these days for most kids or they have zero social life.

Person in front of me in pharmacy school was all-American field hockey. Honors/Deans List (not me) and she probably missed less class than I did (sorry Dad who will probably read this)

Would be kinda nice to see Brock withdraw here... So much hype about him in camp as a true frosh...

I totally agree it would be great to get him back, but it has been a weird portal recruitment for him. He told Kentucky media got a offer from UK a day after entering and since there has not been a peep. Not sure if the offer never materialized or it is a wait and see type of thing. Obviously did not play in the bowl game, but just strange.

He didn't play in any game so the bowl game "no-show" doesn't indicate anything IMO

Pretty sure he got into a couple of games early in the season, not enough to lose his redshirt year though.

I believe he played in four - which is the max before you lose your redshirt.

Pretty much every year one or two kids seem to get the "Freshman Onfield Tryout." By that I mean they play in four games early in the season and then usually it seems the conclusion is that they are not ready and they shut it down.

It would be good to reel Montgomery back in. His HS tape was pretty good.

When Yates reentered the portal, the first thing I told my brother was that I bet Belichick wanted him. Can’t blame the kid, but still not happy about this

Yeah nah, he entered the portal only to temporarily walk it back so that he could "rejoin" in order to tryout for a new team. This isn't a kid, he's a man with a college degree who shrewdly played the market to jump to our nemesis in the A¢¢. Thanks for playing for us, but his last play was scummy. Next!
 
Yates got his degree at UConn or had the "opportunity" to get his degree?
Defensive MVP of the Fenway Bowl.
Now he signs on to play for the defensive coaching master.
While I may be unhappy with this turn of events, I will say that his resume is enhanced in the event he has coaching on his mind for the future...

And when he makes the NFL he'll say "University of North Carolina" on his TV player intro.....

I just hope he gets PT. I have no clue what the depth chart looks like but I'm sure a lot of top end talent are chomping at the bit to play for BB. For a kid with, I believe, one year of eligibility left, I'd hate to see him spend it on the sidelines or play sparingly. I guess if the money is right though.
 
Does anyone have enough free time to evaluate the current Defensive line room at UNC and speculate where Yates stands?

Did he play us? Not sure I agree, as what he did, did not cost us any money and he played in a bowl game in which we won. Now that he is gone and the manner in which he did it, I ask who is Yates?
 
Was it an audition for BB? He must have been impressed. Curious if he plays next year but shouldn’t be. Go Huskies!
