Again...he couldn't. Smith signed the LOI, and was already admitted to MU. Newbill signed his LOI...but had yet to be admitted. Newbill was the only one that he could have ejected for Wilson.
So it was the same situation as Hazel/Saunders - with two key differences. We kept Saunders dangling until late August - Newbill had an additional 2.5 months to find a home - and our coach at the time tried to pull a Pontius Pilate and pass the buck to the admissions office (even though there was NO scholarship available for Saunders). Yet the same poster who went over the top ballistic about what the Newbill situation said about our coach, our fans and our University was totally on board for what was done to Saunders. Makes you wonder....
