You know the story. Jerez Parks is a 4 star DE that remained uncommitted and then wanted to sign with Bama on NSD. Bama told him they did not have room for him to sign in this class but he has agreed to greyshirt.

When you greyshirt, do you sign papers of some sort that binds you to that school? Or can a school like LSU swoop in and add him to this class? The idea of being immediately on scholarship might be tempting for him.

Dont sign a LOI I believe. It's like you basically are a walk on until you go on scholarship following year.

If it was tempting for him then he would have signed with another school on NSD.

If he is a true greyshirt and not a walkon, then there is nothing that binds him. A greyshirt delays full time enrollment until the spring and is an EE whose eligibility clock doesn't start until the next season. He actually can attend school in the fall on his own dime and as long as it is not full time his clock doesn't start and he isn't committed. Also he can't be part of the team in any way.

He's a cuck if he actually enrolls at Bama. With that said, no way he's actually paying his own way if he does.

It's a greyshirt with a "wink" "wink".

Him and his family are not paying tuition and other expenses. Bama handlers are doing that so it's equivalent to a scholarship from Jerez's POV.

Saban played into this kid's stupidity, plain and simple. He basically pulled Parks' offer at the last second, knowing he'd take a grayshirt, so he could take an extra player in this class. Seems like that should be enough for the kid to see that his new HC doesn't give a frick about him, but apparently it isn't. I won't feel sorry for him when he gets cut next year after Bama signs some 5 star DE in next year's class.

The REC will employ a family member and pay enough to more than cover his first year of college.

Plus, no car payments on Jarez and mom's chargers.

This dude is a straight up pussy. Saban used him like a cheap prostitute. The idiot had plenty of offers from major schools. I would have bolted immediately if I was treated that way. Instead he acts like an abused women, coming back for more despite everything.
