Relax, just kidding. More of a Seinfeld reference than anything else.

But, to be serious, if you're recruiting a kid that has not yet signed and/or committed to your program and you find out he has a serious injury which may compromise his playing ability going forward, why would you not just wish him well and move on to another similarly talented, healthy prospect. Seems like the only pragmatic thing to do.

As for Jabo, it wasn't at all clear that he was even gonna be eligible so the staff made contingency plans for the betterment of the program by bringing in Pickett. When Jabo actually qualified at the 11th hour they helped find him another place to play. I don't think they handled the situation poorly.

Didn't they also find out he had an injury that he wasn't exactly forthcoming about?

That's what I was saying about the risk a kid has by waiting

Like I said if the injury turns out to be bad.


Hell yea i drop him if his injury is serious. He hasn't committed to us yet so why should we to him?

I'm pretty sure if he is outpatient and is still getting an MRI , it's unlikely it's going to be catastrophic.
