'19 OH PG Jeremiah Francis (North Carolina, transfer to New Mexico)

Crystal Balls rolling in for UNC, including OSU insider Alex Gleitman and 247 top dog Jerry Meyer.

I get that they are a blue blood but I am not sure why Francis is so enamored all the sudden with the Tar Cheaters over the hometown legacy school that has been recruiting him forever.

Sickening. Hope it proves wrong. If it doesn't we're gonna need Weaver in 2018 and Penn in 2020 to help me stomach it.

It's not really that sickening. I've mentioned before that I don't think we're anywhere near a lock for Francis, and I would even put Indiana and Purdue as having equal shots with the Bucks, here.

He's enamored with the Heels in part because of the recruitment of Manley, a familiar face already in Chapel Hill. Assuming Carolina never gets any sanctions, you are talking a team that has Jordan's support and has been to the national championship in back-to-back years. Yeah, why go there?

That escalated quickly.

Kind of like the Kennard situation...even peak recruiting Matta would have had a hard time keeping him in Ohio from Duke. Sometimes when the big boys come calling, the kids want to go. Urban has exploited this ruthlessly on the grid-iron side, obviously.

Huge blow. This was a legacy recruit who also happened to be the consummate floor general, something that we very much needed. OSU wanted him badly and couldn't beat out the blue-blood even with all the academic fraud around that program.

I just hope we greatly soften the blow with some ace 2018 guards and Penn in 2020.
