Nope...Not kidding. But since we live in the same town, i will be patient. Apparently the staff is still in contact with him. They must feel the possibility still exists, no? I'm a big academics guy, but we took a risk with our last schollie a few years ago (see Troy Smith), and he bought into JT's belief system, and look what he has become.
If you were an educator, you would know how a change of scenery can be incredibly helpful in changing the attitudes of a person. I will not be the one to say there is no hope for KB. You never know. I bet a lot of people said the same thing about Troy not so long ago.
I will leave it up to JT to make the right judgements on character and asssessing who is correct for his program. Track record is pretty good so far.
We can only wait to see where the SAT and GPA score ends up. Anyway, if PC and USC are looking to take a chamce on the kid, why shouldn't we?
