Not 2 days prior though. He had just talked to them last week and shyt was cool. [That's the grimey part...3 days prior he's still being told he was cool] Then you have to keep in mind that some people can't afford to pay out of pocket that semester...esp those out of state cost. That's $12k a semester at Louisville...not including fees, room and board, meal plans and books. You are basically telling him to come to school, be exiled from the team a semester...and incur debt just for a chance that he could have gotten for free elsewhere if Petrino was honest with him. Hell Dabo told a few players like 3 or so months ago that he'd love to have them but they'd have to greyshirt because he was going after need positions. Only the 3 only 1 of the kids bolted and chose another option. That's the issue overall though...not that he asked him to greyshirt...it's that he knew this kid was his since June 2014 and when he started crunching numbers in December he should have mentioned it then...not via someone else so late. This isn't a big recruit that flips on you on signing day...this is a kid that was loyal and represented the University. And i'd be prideful too if you bumped me to make room for someone that got the boot from another program.
Nah...i didn't mistake it...that's why i added the quote he said in the local paper. Bruh my cousin's nephew is getting recruited like crazy and it's a headache for him because they somehow got his number and ask questions and he don't even live in SC anymore. His brother and wife and esp his nephew are already tired of it and plan to commit this summer prior to school starting. A lot of these kids don't like the recruiting game and just want it over and usually it works well. Plus being Mr. South Carolina in football i'm sure he wasn't thinking he'd get the scholly yanked. But i agree and understand about taking all visits...but the flip side to being a lower tier player is that you don't really have the luxury of waiting and playing the field like that because higher rated cats will come along and take you spot. That's why most lower rated players do commit early.
