The guy has problems, and I don't think he's going to get them fixed. It's one thing to have academics be an obstacle. That can be overcome. Academics aren't Tig's obstacle. Tig's obstacle is Tig, and I don't think he'll be able to get out of his own way long enough to play ever.

but there's no way in hell he plays 4 years for you. I'd put the odds at better than 50-50 that he'll either be dead or in jail by the time he's 25.

That's a decent bet. It's a shame too for his sake.

bill? I do agree Bruiser that he does have a tall hill to climb but it looks like he is trying to climb it. I've got to give him some credit for that and hope he is able to turn his life around.

Are you saying Tig doesn't have some serious off the field issues?

So is Tig a model citizen that doesn't do drugs? Grades are going to be an issue for him too most likely, if he ever gets past his other issues to be cleared by the staff to play.

What was his "medical" issue this past fall if you apparently know the whole deal?
