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

I'm sure Virgil would have appreciated knowing that he had a scholarship spot only if the current Junior QB (who was injured most of last year) declared for the draft.

Maybe he did, I really don't know and neither do you. It sucks but what can you do about it? They wanted Tiano more and tried to avoid dropping Virgil, unfortunately they should have just axed him months ago. On one hand at least they tried to hold onto him, on the other it really turned out worse when it fell through.

A grey shirt is more than I would have offered. Call me heartless but I'm not willing to offer a scholarship in next years class that will have less room for mediocrity. The fact that the staff offered a grey shirt means they were willing to honor their commitment to give him a scholarship, albeit a year from now when it opened up.

How's that for a fricking spin?
