I think the issue isn't whether or not UNC is an excellent education (it is), it's that UW was put to the level of U of O, which simply is not correct.
UNC should not talk to Schaaf without a release from UW. Not that Metcalf hasn't crossed that recruiting line...
I find it interesting that Metcalf is quoted as saying he cannot understand Schaaf's interest in leaving. Have they spoken or not? Does the coach not understand his athlete after a conversation? How could a coach let an athlete leave the conversation without reaching some mutual understanding on the subject, the bad press, and the ultimate decision to stay, if that is what is happening? To say publicly that he does not understand Schaaf is in poor taste, even if it is true.
