Many were calling for a return of threads for individual commits, so I made one if thats cool. Really big get especially if he can get the waiver.
We don't benefit from his services for very long but I think it means a lot that he wants to be a part of our program. This is seriously significant.
He is a transfer. 4 stars coming out of HS. Redshirted at Miami last year. With a waiver he can play right away.
I thought he had to sit for a year since he transferred to a conference opponent. I'll be happy to be proven wrong about this.
ACC doesn't have that rule anymore, I believe. And the NCAA passed a rule last year that made it much easier to get a waiver to play immediately. It's the same rule that Justin Fields and Tate Martell are applying to use at Ohio State and Miami, respectively.
Guys who are transferring to a school close to home can usually justify it, and the NCAA has gotten more lenient. I was surprised we got one for James Banks in basketball, actually.
This is a big pick up. I thought it was next to impossible. I hope he is a higher character guy than many others in Coral Gables.
He's coming home because his head coach, coordinator, recruiter, and position coach all got fired. He's basically a lock to play at GT in 2019. He will not here for spring practice though.
