Davidson Day senior guard Isaiah Denis, who NC State had offered, ended up picking North Carolina over Wake Forest, Ohio State, Tennessee and others. There is a narrative that UNC is now flush with NIL cash and overpaid to land Denis, who maybe a week ago was a Wake Forest lean.
My theory has been this, schools that overpay for prep players who aren't ready to contribute as freshman and sophomores, will suffer against programs who shrewdly get upperclassmen who are ready to do in the portal. It will also price out schools from even taking prep players because schools have to understand the value of a dollar.
