It could have been handled a bit differently, but it is what it is. NIf he's as good of a student as they claim then he should be able to earn a scholarship of sort. Help him find the remainder and let him be preferred walk on. Sometimes the truth hurts and if he's not good enough for a scholarship, why waste one. Life is hard and things happen.

Unless you were on the phone you only have a one sided article to go off of. I'm pretty sure that's not the only side of the story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they have a coach talking negatively about it so you know what he is thinking. You think someone is going to want to have their kid recruited by USF after reading this, even if everyone does it. The article isn't about everyone, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that tells me is that he isn't very good. With his GPA, the kid could probably play IVY league ball. Hopefully it works out for him. Coach T did it the only way he could, honestly. Ivy leagues doesn't offer student scholarships for athletics. He's 6 ft 4 and 270 pounds, and doesn't have any other offers? All that tells me is that he isn't very good.
