Were our coaches really persuing Elam? I remember him having a UT offer, but I just couldn't get past his weight being a huge issue for him (pun intended).
I'm sure schools are usually confident that once they get the kid into their conditioning and nutrition programs that they can fix weight issues. Elam may have better served himself by going to a school with better nutritionists or support, or he may just not be doing what he's told by Kentucky's people.
