[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 130421524, member: 1112294"] No not really. He couldn't get the grades to leave JC. Fisher at least made it to UCLA. Finau finally got it done signing with Utah, when they were MWC team. Then had one season in the PAC 12 There are some incredibly talented athletes all across this county who clearly have the potential to play for Division-I football programs. Yet despite their talent, they often fail to do the work or meet the minimum requirements for eligibility. And when it comes right down to it, the blame for their failure is solely the responsibility of the student-athletes, not the institutions that recruited them! Former Mountaineer, Jason Gwaltney. Unlike Finau and Fisher, Gwaltney actually made his way to Morgantown and won his spot on the field. However, Gwaltney’s obvious talents were squandered in his failure to meet his requirements on and off the field. And in that way, the situations with Fisher, Finau and Gwaltney are quite similar.
