SEC is always on the cutting edge of finding loopholes in the rules. 
College football is now an ugly business, and recruiting is probably the ugliest aspect. The best the NCAA can do these days is focus on protecting the players.

USC is using it 2 years in a row as well. I have no issue with it. The kid counts eventually anyway. Basically the same count as a gray shirt just the kid gets to play immediately. Trust me if Bama could've blushirted Scarborough last year they would've and fans would've been giddy about it. As long as the kid actually gets his scholarship as promised then there should be no issue with it. The kid agrees to not being "recruited" then more power to them. I don't see the big deal honestly. This one is actually one the kid knows way in advance as to where most grayshirts come very late in the process and usually after the kid is promised a current full ride. To me gray shirts(not all and still have no issue with them) are more shady than blue shirts.

I don't care about it at all. If the kid understands the situation and is ok with it, then it doesn't bother me one bit.

I actually think the Big 10 was the major offender on this one. It describes their "preferred walkon" program. They were doing this while lambasting SEC schools for oversigning by actually promising the scholarship instead of "wink wink nudge nudge, you'll get a scholarship if one becomes available"
