So this 6 page cluster Frick boils down to this:

No grade problems, no problems?


He will be 100% qualified

Noone to blame in these situations but the kids, every single time.


Yes, the kid forced the LSU coaching staff to extend a "scholarship offer" way back in March. Shame on that kid for accepting the offer and then turning away every recruiter that tried to contact him for the next 9 months. It was totally the kids fault that 10 days before national signing day, after being an official commit to LSU for the previous 9 months, and passing every course that was necessary to academically qualify, that the coaching staff pulled the scholarship offer for the 2013 season.

I am hoping he signs with LSU. I'm worried he may be getting some bad advice.

Great. Great for him.

For his situation, however, it needed to never be a potential issue.

Everyone who is "close" to a potential D1 recruit would do well by that kid to make it damn well sure known to him that there should NEVER be an issue with your grades.

Then there are never problems like this one.

ALWAYS on the kid. 100% of the time.

I understand your angst about * gasp * the unbearable unfairness of it all, but excuse me if I don't break down sobbing about his situation. He can still go to LSU, he just has to wait a while. If I was told I had to wait a while and then I'd get a free ride to LSU, have Moffit turn me into a specimen, and wear the purple and gold in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night, I'd cry for joy. So the kid has to realize at age 18 that shite happens and that dreams sometimes get deferred. Big fricking deal. Not ideal, but big fricking deal.

Try as I may, I just can't summon tears.
He has several excellent options for his life that most of us never sniffed.
I have worse shite happen to me every week.
