Agreed. I don't think to many people are upset about the greyshirt offer. When you have scholarship limitations, it part of the game. What people have a problem with, is the manner in which this was handled by Saban and staff. If you think a kid has a possibility of needing a greyshirt, give him that offer up front. That did not happen here, as he was given the offer just weeks before NSD. That is what the problem is. greyshirting is not illegal or wrong. People have a problem with how this kid just got a big frick you from the school he's been committed too for a long time, just before NSD.

I don't have any problem with Saban greyshirting, but the way it happened is what looks bad. These guys had full offers until they got hurt and didn't after. My main issues is waiting too late to go this route and using the "You need to take some time off to rehab anyway" to replace them with higher rated players when the numbers got tight close to NSD.

What gives it away is the fact they could rehab much better with some of the best trainers in the biz at UA.

I hope this is the last of this with Saban. JMO
