If Odiari signs, as is being speculated, the class if off to a very strong start.

I assume you are refering to David Page? guys gotta feed his family man! a wife and kid don't get a roof over their head and a meal in their stomach off of a stipend check.

It's a damn shame the NCAA rule book doesn't take into account that not all student athletes are single and with no dependants. It's hard enough to try to support a family while a full time student. They need to revise some of the rules concerning holding a job, aid and stipends.

I do not disagree with your statement but if I recall in the case of Paige, he was offered a very lucrative full time job with a major firm and had finished his schooling. It was not worth it for him to continue under the circumstances even if the rules had been more lax.

He did get a little additional since he claimed 2 dependants (maybe not the right terminology), but it still wasn't enough IMHO! the NCAA needs to review alot of things, too many to list on this message board!

He was a big boy and made his own decisions. bumping uglies leads to kids - married or not. kids cost money. if he was just married, nothing prevents the wife of an athlete from working as far as i know.

. . . and nothing prevents a guys who is graduating in the spring from leaving for a job to support himself and his family instead of coming back for a 5th year beat down when he has no future in the sport and no need to be at the university.

for the record, i was in the same major programme as DOP, and he was a phenomenal guy, as well as one of the more exciting and more fun players to watch during the god-awful 1998-2002 years i was in Undergrad.

he was like the White Willis!! haha

DOP = David Oscar Page.

noone should talk smack about him. period.

"bumping uglies" - he was MARRIED before he had a kid. WTF, man....

Just quoting myself so people would chill out and realize again that I was not busting on Page, but merely the crazy and sorry state of our football program in recent history. Good GOD, stop being so freakin' sensitive.

Nice. I would have given that at least a B+ except that it was a delayed thought since you had already posted. DP was a good qb, hated to see him go. Moving on, I think we're going to see a lot of great qb play soon.

Here's to seeing the football flying around the air like never before!!!

DE is what has been posted as the most likely position.
