UNC recruit wasn't ineligible
Former North Carolina recruit Dwight Jones, who is enrolled and practicing at DivisionII Valdosta State, might end up being a Tar Heel after all. According to insidecarolina.com, Jones' academics might have been judged under the wrong set of rules, leaving him eligible to play DivisionI football. Jones, a receiver who played football at Burlington Cummings High, was scheduled to practice today with Valdosta State. But the school's athletics director, Herb Reinhard, told The News & Observer through a team spokesman: "We have communicated with Dwight about his academic status changing, and we have signed a release allowing UNC to talk to him."

NCAA very careful about punishing schools that have won NCs. Everyone else beware.

Either way, this kid will be lucky to ever get a diploma from UNC. The question here is about his SECOND failure to qualify. There's no question about him failing to qualify the first time.

did ya'all notice that UNC is preseason ranked @ 34? Seems a little high to me I hope we can win some games this year.

Yeah, No 34 is too high. If Butch can get the Heels to a 7-5 record, and make a bowl game, I'd consider the season a success. That'd be progress in a huge way. Dwight Jones would be a welcome addition to the team.

i am keeping my fingers crossed about making a bowl game. Almost time to see if T.J Yates is the truth.
