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,
Who's to say that they won't find another excuse after his grey shirt?
Fool me once and shame on you, fool me twice...

If they didn't want him, they would just pull the offer completely. It's smart on LSU's part to grey-shirt him, let him prove he can qualify and then let him take up a scholly spot. rather than letting him take the spot and then fail to qualify because then both sides are boned. The gray shirt protects LSU and still allows Lawson to play football at LSU with 7/8 semesters paid for. He should take the grey-shirt unless he is getting a full ride to another BCS school.

Another excuse????? sorry, but you dont offer grey shirts to players to yank them later, unless the player truly cannot qualify on grades, This is a lot of smoke thrown up for something thats fairly simple, he has a class he has tried to pass several times, here is the link to the story in the advocate, who seems to have talked to his coach.

Here is the part where he talks about the gradesThe reason for LSU’s sudden hesitancy to take Lawson is the school’s concern over a summer class he took at Denham, Nettles said. Nettles said Lawson made a “D” in the class in question last year, made a “B” over the summer and is now taking the class for a third time.
“I’m 95 percent certain he will be eligible,” Nettles said, “almost 100 percent. There’s no reason to think it’s not (going to count). But they (LSU) thought it might. That’s on them. They know which classes we have him in.”
now i did go to LSU so forgive me if my percentages arent right, but 95 percent sure is not 100 percent. I am 100 percent sure if he signs on feb 6 and then doesnt qualify LSU loses that slot. Again, tell me why a grey shirt is such a bad thing given the circumstances.
