If he sees the writing on the wall and wants to play, I can't say that I blame him. I'd consider doing the same thing.

Doesn't sound at all like the Heaps situation or the Nelson situation, why do some people feel like pigeonholing everthing into a neat little category?

I have a friend who was a marginal D1 wide receiver. He transferred to 3 different schools because he loved football and wanted to play. He wasn't even a scholarship athlete. He just had a strong love for the game and moved to where he thought he'd have the best opportunity.
