I know he has a lot of interest in the tide, and I know he has big pro aspirations. He's a smart kid though, and he knows that football is no guarantee. He hasn't decided on a major yet, so that'll play a part in all of this. I think he wants to stay home, that's my gut feeling. He LOVES the state of Georgia, and most Georgia fans are pretty confident he'll be a Dawg.

That's the SEC however, it has become so cut throat that the actions of the coaches are becoming more and more business like. It's not even a college atmosphere anymore, they look at it from a professional aspect. That saddens me, and I really don't see it ending anytime soon.

I believe this picture may have been posted on here awhile back - but it was an interesting topic of discussion.  I believe this certainly lends to the conversation of oversigning and how many of the schools highest officials especially in the SEC where it accounts for a large portion of revenue - "don't seem to care".  Interesting when put into the context of a business - if you're Alabama (at least according to this picture - can't say I've done the calculation and am just assuming the graphic is correct) 11% of the schools' revenue is from football.  Doesn't make the cut throat actions OK, but this seems to show another probable cause as to why they occur.

He didn't put up great numbers in his HS season this year, but I think he had a pretty poor OLine and they ran the ball about 2:1.  I believe his coach said they were planning on airing it out a little more during for senior year, and that less than 4000 passing yds would be a disappointment.  Shane really made his name in the 7 on 7s, and at the Elite 11 camp last summer, where he went throw for throw with Gunner Kiel.
