Did not see a thread on this..Good Job Alabama, this is a good thing...
Alabama honors scholarship offer to prospect with career-ending injury
Elisha Shaw was a highly recruited defensive tackle in Tucker, Ga., when he suffered a neck injury that ended his senior season before it began. Shaw recently learned that due to the injury, he's unlikely to ever play again.
On national signing day Wednesday, however, Shaw committed to Alabama as part of a Tucker High signing ceremony that included 15 other athletes. He did not sign a letter of intent, according to Tucker High coach Bryan Lamar, but will receive a medical hardship scholarship. The medical exemption allows Alabama to pay his tuition without counting him against the Crimson Tide's 85-scholarship limit.

Yep props to all the coaches who stand behind their recruits in this kind of situation.

Everyone go ahead and prepare your ducts for the impending Rinaldi piece.

Whatever. Bottom line is they were able to give a kid a free education without hurting their scholarship numbers in anyway, while worming their way into one of the top football talent H.S.'s in Georgia.
Good marketing, but it wasn't done purely out of the goodness of Nick's heart.
Sorry.
