This is what happened with Jonathon Thomas a year ago, he was going to Oklahoma, that was an absolute done deal. But OU wasn't sure he could make the grades, as an "almost" selector school, OU doesn't have to take chances on kids who might not make the grades, so ultimately they decided not to. HCSS and the Orange staff made the decision that we would take him, and felt confident who could make it. Ultimately he did qualify and is starting practice in the next few days.

It may or may not be the same situation with Blair. You can definitely look to see that Shy Cullen's situation is pretty similar to Thomas in that his father kept hearing offers weren't coming because schools were nervous about the grades.

Right now we aren't in a situation to pass on top talent that wants to come here simply because a kid might not make the grades. Right now, those are the kids with top tier talent that we can get interested in us, simply because not many other high profile schools are willing to take the chances on them.
