This may be a stretch, and I don't keep up with basketball nearly as much as I do football and baseball, but I wonder if he will transfer to UNC to play with his brother. This is where my lack of knowledge with the rules may thwart me, but if he transfers there and is a walk-on, could he play immediately?
My thought is that he was hanging out at the Final Four watching Tyler play, and probably thought, "Man, this would be cool to go to as a player."
