lots and lots of unfounded conjecture being loosely thrown around on this topic. I agree that Vernon Collins is taking a step down on academic prestige, if that is more important to him than a basketball opportunity.

As for his returning home, that is not quite accurate. I see that Collins is from Chocowinity, N.C., a small town in the eastern part of North Carolina. Western Carolina U is in Cullowhee, a small town buried in the mountains of westerly NC. It is still a significant drive home.

I have no clue as to Mr. Collins's ambitions or priorities but I will say that Western Carolina U is located in a drop dead gorgeous part of this country, within rural mountainous terrain, near lots of waterfalls, and the beauty of nature. He could do far worse than choosing that location , if any of that matters to him
