I've said it before. Max Hall was indeed right!

The story I heard from what I believe to be reliable source is that Handsome wanted some sort of guarantee regarding playing time.
The coaches would not make any promises and they parted ways in mutual agreement.
I have not heard they actually pulled his offer but I think both sides knew he wasn't going to the U after his OV.
That is when I posted here that I believed he would go where Kalani was whether that was OSU or BYU.

If this is true then he is a recruit that Bronco definitely would not have gotten. While I hope he's awesome I'm not sure how I feel about making such deals with players.

If a guy needs a guarantee that he will start, it is likely they don't have the ability to win a starting spot. Just prove it on the field and you'll play.

Agreed. No recruit ever has a guaranteed spot in my book.
