He doesn’t help much at the 5….yeah he’d be huge and it’s down to us and UNC. We will see thoughMayer.......
agreed...but adding that type of talent changes the floor and ceiling of this team by a lot. We can add another depth piece at 5. Dain should be really solidHe doesn’t help much at the 5….yeah he’d be huge and it’s down to us and UNC. We will see though
I have wondered why myself. But I have heard and read that Baylor is out. If he returned to school, it would not be at Baylor. But who knows...nothing surprises me at this point.Does anyone know why Mayer is transferring? Or is Baylor still in the mix? Just seems pretty odd. I could be missing something obvious.
Nance gonna stay in the draft

Is this the same Garcia who transferred to Minni? If so, what went wrong? Was it really a family issue or a money issue?Can they? Remember Garcia was promised a million to go there….he is still waiting on that million….

You make very good points. Know your enemy, and ours is UNC. So, if we really want Mayer, we have to be honest with ourselves first. Can we give him the playing time? If so, show him we can do better than UNC. And if we can't, he's gone.Baylor's Matthew Mayer to withdraw from NBA Draft, will transfer | Zagsblog

I wanted to touch on this....
Why wouldn't Mayer go to UNC?
#1 in Way-too-early ESPN rankings
UNC boosters could probably match any NIL offer from ILL
Steps right into Manek's shoes with probably 30 minutes a game (Would BU give him that kind of playing time?)
Blue Blood School that will get more scouts in the building (plus there will be plenty of scouts for Love and Baycott too)
Playing with Love and Baycott (I would think that's comparable to Ayo and Kofi being on this roster)
Is there any reason why Meyer shouldn't go to UNC?
Now you're starting to think outside the box. But then you have to really sit back and think ... is he really a better option than RJ or TSJ? I'd concentrate on what he can bring to us and the eventually the NBA defensively ... and yeah, Fletch, ofc.My only thoughts for him coming here:
Dain connection
Fletch can get him in NBA shape
He can be a focal point instead of 3rd or 4th option
BU draws up Offense and Defense that suits Mayer better
UNC feels they are in a good enough spot and doesn't match money
Illinois graduate degree

I'm hoping Mayer's time at Baylor affects his decision. At UNC, he may STILL only play about 15-18 minutes with all the talent they have. At Illinois, he'll get 25-30 easily. Plus UIUC can offer comparable NIL cash. *shrug*He doesn’t help much at the 5….yeah he’d be huge and it’s down to us and UNC. We will see though

Yep. I think he wants both minutes and money, like want to have his cake and eat it. We will see if we can beat out UNC. It's going to be tough. (UNC already has a few NIL players and we have like, zero?)I'm hoping Mayer's time at Baylor affects his decision. At UNC, he may STILL only play about 15-18 minutes with all the talent they have.

It was a family issue. He definitely wasn’t happy he was lied to though about NILIs this the same Garcia who transferred to Minni? If so, what went wrong? Was it really a family issue or a money issue?
Will we be hearing about any other targets soon-ish?I don’t disagree. But I think we will be fine.
Precisely. I hate it when people talk about all the factors leading us to lose a recruit. It's all got some validity, but it does for every recruit. The key is for the coaches to do what you just laid out here.This is the point of being a great recruiter. A kid comes on campus for a visit saying x is the most important, and it's your job to have him walk off saying it's y.
(UNC already has a few NIL players and we have like, zero?)
Perhaps he will. According to NBA Scouting Live article of 05-22-2022, the pros and cons of Pete Nance's game and potential in the NBA are nicely illustrated. ACCSports.com has a 05-20-2022 article under North Carolina Tar Heels News with a very good overview (with lots of video) of what Nance could bring to UNC, but they believe their chances of getting him are a long shot.Nance gonna stay in the draft
Lol, don't think you need a waiver to not go to class. I skipped an insane amount of class in undergrad and did fine. They were real classes though which differs from UNC.Can we give him an actually going to class waiver in order to fully compete with unc?
