no big loss

Kid wants to play. At best, he would've been 5-6 on the depth chart. Only hurts the scout team..

Romond Deloatch

Now that he's qualified, I imagine he's going to be the guy the staff targets. Honestly, I'd rather have a kid who has his heart in it anyways.

i agree. i'm sick of all these flip flop players. whatever happened to "a man's word is his bond"?

BeerControlOffense | 14 years 6 months # ^

he is an 18 yr old

kid from florida.

friends, family still live there and want to see him and see him play.

these things happen.

i understand that...but he's had over a year to figure it out in prep school. and what i have a problem with is him waiting one week before he's supposed to be in school, One month from signing day..to change his mind, leaving us absolutely zero time to find a replacement.

well

a month ago he was gone. then the staff fought hard, lost (again) to keep him. this is not a total shock.

he was from florida last year with offers from kstate, vt and nebraska. had he had a sniff from any fla school last year, he would have committed there.

this guy is looking out for himself. it's a dirty game of over recruiting, pushing kids thru on crappy majors, 1 year scholarships, etc and yet we expect them at age 18 to be a 100%?

how do you think we are letting in all these kids this year coming up when we had 17 openings? these transfers or early graduates who are stopping football were encouraged to leave the program. all schools do this.

these kids make millions for the schools and coaches, many just get shuffled a long in the end. sure some of that responsibility is there's but most don't come equipped or from a family equipped to know it's happening to them.

we'll find another cog in the machine.

being qualified

does not mean he can get in school x.

their are math and science requirements that he may be lacking. i do not know, but it is not cut and dry.

is he qualified for usf, sure .. an acc school. remains to be seen.

good riddance

I'm kinda with who ever said good riddance .. I'm tired of the flip floppers and this kid has struggled to make the grades just to get it .. We have been going after Deloatch hard .. Expect us to go harder.
