first of all we have no idea if the 240 is correct. a lot of coaches lie about that. secondly even if it was he has all year to get in shape, and it shouldn't be that hard. when I played college basketball I would come in every season weighing around 195. by christmas I would be at 170. and I DIDNT WANT to lose weight. he sould be able to shed that easily.
lastly, this kid just made a mistake. he didn't do anything BAD. no beat up girl friend, no assualt charges, no restisting arrest(all things past players have done and it was OK) to me take him asa a walk on, if he gets himself in shape, gets his grades, and earns a postition, give him a scholarship. the guy is very talented, and would start for us this year, and would proably next year if we took him
