    No. No way he could see that coming. It was his decision and I can respect why he chose them. Hell, if it went down the way I heard I don't blame him to be honest. Even if that's the way it works in major college football it doesn't make it right. I wish him the best.

  • My point where this was concerned was that he was still getting the reward. Still getting his college paid for. He was just having to wait one semester. Not the end of the world. AND was going to have a shot at a National Title at Alabama. If I was him, I think I would be wishing I had been a little more patient.

    Yes, but think back when you were a 17-18 yr old and your girlfriend broke up with you to go out with someone else. I doubt you were saying i will wait for her with open arms. It is easy to sit back and say that someone should be more patient. I know that as an adult with a teenage son being patient doesn't always come into the equation.

  • Also, if he does go pro, it could cost him a good chunck of change by not playing that season. But, that is a big if.

    It will cost him more to play for Arkansas than wait one semester and play for Alabama. Arkansas doesn't have many guys being drafted like Bama does. When I was 17-18, I would have waited. When I wanted something, I went for it. If I wanted to play for Bama and they offered...even a greyshirt...I would have played at Bama. But that's me....

    Since Petrino was fired, can't players that signed with Arky transfer without losing eligibility?

    only teams that go on probation can have players leave without losing a year.

  • I don't think so , but if they would let philon go I would like to have him back. I wish he would just transfer and sit a year. I don't think he would have played before his redshirt sophomore year anyway.

  • truth of the matter is that Philon wouldve had a spot by the time summer enrollment comes around. With Brandon lewis leaving and a couple others headed out he wouldve most likely reported in the summer. He mad a terrible decsion out of emotion.

    He shouldn't have been put in that spot to begin with. He told the staff he wouldn't greyshirt, the staff said that's fine, and then tuened around ad told him he had to right at signing day. Thats BS imo. That's what I have been told here from people who should know and if that is accurate I would have to.

    Well have fun at Arkansas then. Thats all I can tell him. He shouldve waited for things to clear up. His parents or someone shouldve told him to wait before he signed his career over to arkansas.

    I still think that might be all bullshit, but of course that's what the kid and people that support him are going to say.

    I really don't what was said though but I have a hard time believing that. Especially when you could have just signed him and gray shirted him later like LSU does every year.

    It's hard to be BS when EVERY person I have talked to in Mobile has given the same story. I don't have any direct ties to Vigor anymore but know people who do. No one except the parties involved can say for certain what happened but the story has remained consistent.
