an upperclassman.
But Dave was also honest with Beo and told him he needed to work hard to get there.
Dave also didn't want to go through another rebuild year that is essentially a throw away year. Dave also knew that Beo was not likely to be a huge contributor next year and Dave needed to bring in guys that athletically could compete right away.
I'm actually a little disappointed that Beo didn't show more gratitude and loyalty to Dave for giving him a scholarship Dave could have used on someone else. Dave was honest with him and Beo took it as a slight rather than motivation to drive him to get better.
