  1. Why are you trying to create this story into an “interesting spin?” You are trying to suggest that he chose ECU over Carolina. He never received an offer from Carolina or even visited. Why is that?

  2. Sounds good to me. The word I heard on the EA radio games was that North Carolina was interested and he was interested and heard it other spots too…

    If that is not the case, so be it and good luck to Ivey.

    He is an excellent player and I wish him well at ECU….

  3. Ivey visited both NCSU and UNC on un-officials . Both schools spoke very highly of his talents and ability however in the end neither school had a scholarship. He could play at either school. They both just ran out of offers. He’s a fine player. He will make an impact at ECU.

  4. UNC was about to offer him that weekend on his official he decided to go to ECU that friday he was supposed to report so yes he did choose ECU over carolina
