re: State - you guys pulled Virgil's offer after he's committed?

Admission requirements are beside the point. The fact that we asked them to do something that they didn't even attempt to do is the rub. We set distinct, difficult-to-obtain goals for prettymuch all of the kids we recruit, usually in the weight room and class room. It's one way we evaluate how driven and self-motivated kids are, and thus how likely they are to fit in well with the culture of our team. We've held ontly plenty of grade risks that kept up their ends of the bargain from an effort/improvement perspective. We don't, however, keep grade risks that don't show much of a visible attempt to do what we ask them to do. Obviously, this works on a sliding scale depending on how talented we think kids are.

You actually believe this is what you do. Okay.

A real look into the recruiting world and some of you would absolutely shite your pants I think.
