Duke's Maalik Murphy entering the transfer portal. Not sure why. He peaked at Duke this year, and whoever else would get him would put him in a worse position (maybe a better team but as a backup, or a worse team as the starter).

You have guys like Jalen Milroe at Bama who can't effectively throw a football. Hell, depending on what UNC does with their coaching search he might just slide 8 miles down the road.

Murphy would be an instant villain if he did that, but it's becoming (and only will continue to become) more common for guys to jump to their rival programs. He throws a great deep ball and you'd fall in love with that. His decision-making, however, is 2021 Darnold-esque.

he gets to negotiate another NIL deal. 

and someone in the BIG10/SEC likely would want him.  Lot of QB question marks going into next season IMO.

If UNC doesn't have an announcement today or tomorrow it probably means we've struck out on the A and B list and we're in desperation mode. You know, just normal Tar Heel football. LOL

portal is live and open today right?  I would assume of you were getting Bill.....you would want him at the start.  Because Bill would be a portal heavy guy I would think

This needed to get done yesterday. I think we're probably flailing and in scramble mode.

    • I realize that the coaches see the players on the roster and practice squad at practice, but there are several players I want to see play substantial minutes in a game situation.  I AM NOT SUGGESTING THAT WE START ALL THESE PLAYERS--I AM SUGGESTING THAT WE GIVE SOME MEANINGFUL PLAYING TIME TO A FEW FROM THIS LIST.  This article about 2022 draft pick (Bears) Velus Jones led to this thread:   https://oldnorthbanter.com/panthers-urged-to-give-former-draft-bust-a-chance-entering-season-s-final-games-01jfzg7bj02n Velus Jones, WR/RB/KR:  Very fast and can be elusive. The article compares him to a Cordarrelle Patterson. Stood out at 2022 SR Bowl.  Drafted in the third round (I think) by Bears.  I did not know he was on the roster.  He is 27. Caleb Farley (CB/S):  He has had his fair share of injuries and his play has been sub par, but maybe the former first rounder was in the wrong position.  Let him face the LOS and move him to Safety.  His injuries (back and knee) and size 6' 2" 200 lbs make it tough to play CB, but I think he might be able to handle Safety, based on my limited knowledge of the skill sets for both positions.  For now, let him play CB, but if he looks decent, consider S. Demani Richardson (S):  Yes, he made a play last week.  Let him play more to see if it was a fluke or legit. Xavier Woods is set to become an UFA at age 30.  Jaden Crumedy (DT):  I have a feeling there will be some house cleaning at DT/DE (3-4) this offseason.  Ray and Tuttle have been embarrassing this season, and Ray becomes an ERFA.  Tuttle can be cut post June 1 for a $6m savings.  A. Robinson has been average at best, but he is signed for 2 more seasons (he too can be cut post June 1 for a $6m savings).  We know we get Brown back and I am confident we draft a DT.  Can Crumedy work into the rotation?  What if we go 4-3?  We need some film on him playing from the 3 tech and the nose. Jacoby Windmon  (ILB)  I realize that he is playing, but  we need to put him in different situations to see how he looks. At 6-2, 250, he has the size to play ILB in a 3-4 or 4-3, but he has also had some reps as a DE in college, if I am not mistaken.  I would like to see him in coverage and blitzing.   He led the team in tackles last week (8).  Andrew Raym (C)   We may have something in Mays, but we need depth.  Can Raym play?  We'd have to bring him up from the PS, but he could step up and keep us from drafting a C late.    
    • Learning how to win is better than good draft position. Truthfully, it isn't about position, it's about evaluation. We suck at the later. Until you fix that issue, position will never matter at all.
    • The team really started struggling when rod nuked the lines then kept doing it. He killed all chemistry we built.  That leads to our stars not playing like stars.  Mix in average goalie play, well we aren’t that good. That’s the issue. Luckily, are stars can play well and we can buy a goalie.     Ask me after the back to back with NJ. I think we can all agree that winning one of the two games would be a win.
