re: Lawson reasoning for being asked to grey-shirt: ESPN

Last time i checked Sam was part of the staff at LSU matter of fact he was the recruiting coordinator for a long time. and getting offered a gray shirt is not exactly getting cut, it means he still gets a scholarship IF HE QUALIFIES with his grades. Still seems a pretty sweet deal and protects LSU just in case his coach is wrong with him qualifying, or maybe he holds out till he does qualify and then signs, nothing says he has to sign on signing day. this is not the first time it happened, look at Thomas last year, and a couple of other possible non qualifiers this year. If he had the grades, this wouldnt be an issue.
