If I had a nickle for ever ...So and so was about to offer but he wanted to stay close to home..I would be a Billionaire..not saying the kid wont have a shot at punter here but CMon SON...Texas am....110k 12th man..you cant turn down a FULL RIDE. Nice to pump your guy up but no one believes that he turned down a full ride to come to OU for free.
A coach from A&M who used to work with one of the OU coaches called to ask about Grant and was told that the Cats were very interested in him. I heard the day after Grant committed to OU, A%M called and wanted to talk about a possible scholorship offer but Grant said he was happy with his choice. Whether or not they actually offered a full ride I don't know so thats why I called it a rumor.
He will have to pay his first year and if he develops the way they think he can he will go on scholorship after that. His family coming up with money to follow their son if playing for A&M would cost much more than paying his way the first year at OU. Not to mention travel cost differences between a Big 12 schedule and a MAC schedule for the next 5 years.
I have known his dad since the early 80s and they are very excited to be Bobcats. I have said for years OU doesn't market themselves near enough in Washington County and I would guess attendance from that area alone will increase by about 50 to 75 fans per game now. Example is Jay Edwards!
