'26 NC OT Jabian Shabazz (UNC commit)

[PEPPERJAX]

Another layer to all this is UNC's OL coach is our old buddy Will Friend.

No hard feelings towards the kid but just a really head-scratching decision when it comes to actual development.

Bwwwhaahahaaaaaa!!!

LOL, these kids make some of the dumbest decisions

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

Osenda and Blair are both better tackles than Shabazz and are instate kids. Tbh I just wanted Shabazz because of the name

Absolutely comical statement from his UNC bio:

"While at Tennessee, Friend developed two-time All-SEC first team lineman and eventual NFL draft pick Trey Smith. In 2019, Friend's unit featured an All-SEC First Team award winner in Smith and two SEC All-Freshman honorees in Wanya Morris and Darnell Wright."

He developed none of the three and arguably almost ruined the careers of Wanya Morris and Darnell Wright. Funny enough those are the only three players it names in his bio as NFL guys he developed.

Lol. I remember reading after Trey got drafted that scouts were surprised that he still had the tendency to look at the guy he was assigned to pre snap. They basically said he had no development in 4 years of college.

Yep. Darnell Wright began playing to his ranking his last year here, which I believe was Heupels 2nd year coaching.

RC said UNC made an aggressive NIL offer that TN was not willing to give

In other words…

Smart by us. I don't think he's as good as Blair. That was the better pickup.

 

[Weezer]

Sucks

Did not see this one coming. Don't like it.

 

[volfaninpa]

Hate to see UNC whipping UT on the recruiting trail. First Sneed, now Shabazz.

 

[Weezer]

I understand the NIL aspect of it. More money is more money. But if you have career aspirations of the NFL, UNC played horrid this past weekend. I get BB is a multi-time SB winner in the NFL, but he's not the same coach. And it's obvious. I'll be interested in how UNC plays the rest of the season.

They only play 1 ranked opponent this year. If you go 6-6 with this schedule and don't win big. You would go like 3-9 in the SEC

 

[MarcoVol]

Will Friend is their OL coach? Would explain why their OL looked like hot garbage Monday night

I think them having sh*t players has more to do with it than anything else

The narrative has already been set in stone, don't try to move the goal post.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Damn bruh. You had made such a good decision before.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Why would any recruit think this could possibly be a good thing for them. Bill, what is you doing to these young men’s futures??

Really think it's up front money. A bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush. Most of these guys want make it to the NFL so there going take all they can get now. We'll find another project and save the money.

 

[Swiftybaby]

Sooo who are we gonna throw his money at now?

 

[HalfullVol]

Man bewbs

Can’t unsee this.

 

[Volnut]

How do I take my boom back?

Not a big deal.
