That may be right but he’s probably… probably making more in Charlotte (at least incrementally) than he would at App. Due to the school getting $4-5 M per year from conference as opposed to the SunBelt media deal. Plus the AAC is attempting to require schools pay a higher Rev Share and get to $10M within 3 yrs.
He received close to a 6 figure pay increase.
Good for him but imo uncc overpaid for his production. Spend the money on qb and lines
Probably paid him based on his week 1 performance against them

Barnes wanted to come back. Unfortunately, he didn’t want to come back until 2 days ago instead of 2 months ago. His spot was filled.
I mean, the way he balled out in the Birmingham Bowl…sorry, the way he bailed out.
He bailed on two games before that as we fought for bowl eligibility. Selfish.

Should somebody tell them? Gauging talent based on how someone plays against Charlotte is not an effective method of measurement

Not sure if we put it in here, but Dozier did go to NC State.

Other than some DL help, weren’t we still looking for a punter? Or did that get squared away?

247 is reporting Dowell got RB J’Marion Burnette from Houston.. if true, this could end up being the best 1-2 punch in the SBC.

This is a main concern even with just our current RBs. OL has went downhill in recent years.

28 carries for 90 yards. 2.9 per carry.
What are we missing here in that we would have the best 1-2 punch?

Kanye’s status is uncertain at this point. Nothing nefarious, it’s just not a guarantee that some make it out to be.

Do you mean that he may be a flight risk or that his health status may make ineligible?

I think all of the above. He has had some emotional and mentally draining events occur with Helene and this injury.
