Lots more chatter on the Laxpower threads for both Hof and UNC. All speculation.
However, i have to question this- he likely had a half or better scholarship at UNC. Lets assume places like Hofstra have scholarships tied up for the next few years already, so its difficult to get substantial $$$ over to a junior with a busted foot mid year. That just makes places like Hofstra that much more expensive; and im assuming places like lets say GT or Princeton dont take transfers (that might have academic issues, no less).
Then again, all it takes is a scholarship kid out the door to free up the money to bring one in. And from what im reading, that is exactly whats happening at Hofstra.
