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!

The way I see it, almost all the returning edge players return as well as a transfer from Delaware, a 4 star and a 3 star edge recruits, and Yates. But, we don't know what size of DL that Bill B is targeting and how he will rotate his DL. I would think Yates is in the mix to earn a spot in the rotation, but there will be competition.

I did read that it seems Bill B is targeting portal players that have shown production wherever they were and he seems to be shying away from highly ranked HS recruits that haven't produced at the college level yet so that could be in Yates favor.

Sounds familiar...
