    I think its funny how everyone comes to the conclusion that Reco didnt fit Rams style of play. Yet he was one of the most athletic players on the team:) In my opinion Reco's biggest hurdle was academically.

    Where are you getting that from? I haven't heard anything about problems with academics. He has never been sidelined for academics that I know of.

    Very reasonable. Knew he was from NC but didnt know where.
    I just thought that with all that sitting a year of Juco playing and then tranistioning to his school may have been better than sitting yet again. I think the year would be helpful and he could still play for the Fighting Camels.

    Any chance he get's a hardship? That way he can play immediately?

    In any event, I hope he has the chance to utilize all the tools in his skill set.

    I doubt it, lack of playing time doesn't qualify as a hardship. Maybe he has an ill family member back in Carolina and could use that as a reason to apply for one, but I would imagine that the NCAA would see his primary motivation for transferring as lack of playing time since he has only played 16 mins in 2 years here. Those hardship waivers can go either way (much like anything that the NCAA rules on), there are not the slam dunk that some people think they are.

    Didnt think so, but was hoping. I think sitting again will be tough on his game. However, he should be set academically.
