Last minute 2007 signing day coup and 5-star safety prospect Jerimy Finch has been released from his scholarship and plans to transfer. Finch had the early makings of a defensive star in the making with numerous special teams tackles and an INT in the home Tennessee blowout last season; consequently the same play that ended his season with a broken right leg. Rumors have incessantly followed news of Finch; homesickness, academic problems, position opinion differences with coaches and a distance issue between he, his son and baby momma back in the hoosier state have all been heard through the grapevine since his matriculation.
I, for one, hate to see talented individuals individuals leave the depth chart, but I also don't see the point in keeping a player that doesn't want to wear the orange and blue...especially if they WANT to play for Indiana.
No worries Gator fans, Urban Meyer has offered the open scholarship to Jennie Finch to save costs on jersey replacements. Urb's always thinking of gimmicks AND fiscal responsibility! The NCAA has yet to make an eligibility ruling.
Tebow could always use more partners for "pitch and catch" on the sideline...why not an olympic athlete.
