This actually doesn’t surprise me. With all the recruiting violations that had gone on down there, coupled with the NCAA’s interest in it, this is a program that might find themselves staring down the barrel of severe sanctions — like the ones USC had to deal with not so long ago. So this really would be the best time for their athletes to start looking elsewhere.
With Covey announcing his decision to enter his name into the next NFL Draft, maybe we’ll get another shot at WR Geordon Porter.
And Jordan Banks might help bolster our LB corps.
