Probably found out too late that UNC only offers fake and fraudulent classes for undergraduate degrees and not graduate level work. Bummer for him.
Oh, and **** UNC.
Oh, and **** UNC.
RECRUITING: Khaliel Rodgers flips to UNC
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Prob got to UNC and found out he would have to compete for a starting spot..
That is some good luck on our part. We'd likely be looking at him as a starter right now. And probably would not have gone after Knipfel. I guess you'd call him backing out and going to UNC a blessing in disguise
I'm really confused as to what all the hate towards UNC is about. Not to mention some cheap blows regarding accused fake classes. As a fan of both, I wanted this kid at Iowa State because he was never going to start at Carolina. Both schools Will be fine in the long run.
Go Heels, Go Clones!

The fake classes thing has been documented for several years now. You're blind if you haven't noticed that one.
For the kid, best of wishes to him. Hope everything works out for him.
Not fake, that's been proven over and over again for those that read past the click bait. That being said, secretary grading papers isn't a good look. NCAA won't be able to punish UNC for it anyway because they can't control academics. Especially when half of the students taking the courses weren't athletes. Easy classes yes, but seriously no one should be on the side of the NCAA making up rules on the fly, or changing the process or burden of proof as has happened to UNC.
Trust me I'm not happy about happened at Carolina but NCAA and the ****** sports writers are the ones pushing a bad narrative.
Jay Bilas has some excellent write ups regarding the issue.
Hate for UNC is because they have been documented and are under continuing investigation for fraudulent classes and for teaching aides helping players cheat.
Then you throw into the mix that Gene Chizik is the coach and well, you've got a good old fashioned hate fest. The player leaving ended up being a blessing but that was only recent. Before it looked like our former firmly entrenched coach stealing a recruit.

He wrote a pretty decent piece about it:

He sounds much more human than he did here.

From what I read on here it sounded like Rogers had no chance at making the two deep with the effort he was putting in. Knipfel is already there. Not sure it that will be the case by the end of fall camp, but for a guy that has not been there very long, being in the 2 deep is pretty impressive.
I think you might be thinking of Dawson. Either way, we're better off with Knipfel in the long run.
UNC's use of joke classes to keep players eligible is not in dispute. The fact that the NCAA is limited in being able to punish UNC for this frustrates people. This is a tarnish on UNC's academic reputation and any attempt to rationalize these classes only makes it worse.
yikes, it is one of those things that you knew was bad, but to actually look at the guys and how few contributed at all is really scary. Lots of complete misses, and a few guys like Burton that were pretty good, but could never stay health.
