Bill Belichick’s buyout, Jeremiah Smith’s ceiling and the next freshman superstar

The calander has flipped to June, the college football offseason is in full swing, and Bill Belichick is still dominating headlines before coaching a game at North Carolina.

Belichick was in the news again this weekend as Sunday marked the day his massive buyout with the Tar Heels dropped from $10 million to $1 million. With an ongoing offseason saga surrounding the six-time Super Bowl champion head coach and his girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, is it possible Belichick leaves UNC before coaching a single game?

While Belichick has dominated off-the-field headlines this season, all eyes have been on this year's group of superstars and their play on the field. That includes Ohio State standout Jeremiah Smith, who is coming off one of the greatest individual freshman seasons for a wide receiver in college football history. What does Smith have in store for his sophomore season, and is there another incoming freshman who could put together a historic season like Smith had last year?

FOX Sports college football writers Laken Litman, Michael Cohen and RJ Young are here to answer all of those questions in this week's roundtable.

Bill Belichick and North Carolina have been one of the most talked-about stories in college football this offseason.

Laken Litman: Yes. It has been a tumultuous spring at North Carolina: from the "CBS Sunday Morning" interview with Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson, to reports that Hudson was banned from the UNC football facilities, to athletic director Bubba Cunningham
