re: Old Recruiting Thread: RIP insiders

Sort of off topic but I suppose it could impact OM's recruiting.

LMAO - going to be tough to prove that one when the football team is likely majority black. I can't fathom HS players would let this be a factor.

On Feb. 27, 2023, Rollins met with Kiffin, who informed Rollins he was moving from defensive tackle to the scout team's offensive line because he wouldn't transfer. According to the lawsuit, Rollins asked Kiffin if this was "a choice or a command." Rollins alleged that Kiffin told him "if he didn't like it then he should quit." At that point, Rollins told Kiffin he was going to take "a mental break," according to the lawsuit. Rollins went to his car and immediately called strength and conditioning coach Nick Savage and reiterated his need for a mental break.

Ah - there it is. The kid was getting put back on scout team as an upperclassmen and wanted to claim mental health issues to stay on scholarship while not working out with the team or practicing. Not sure if it exists, but the NCAA should put in place a "medical waiver" or something for situations like this. If the kid is claiming mental health issues, he can be booted from the team but not lose his scholarship and a scholarship is freed up for the school.
