So Mario and staff fought hard to recruit this kid, gave him his shot in the bowl game, raved about him during Spring ball, gave him the "covered" #1 jersey, and have been waiting for this kid to show up only so they can fuc.k him over?
That's an expert level and long-game troll job by Mario to fuc.k over a 17-19 year old kid from a program Mario recruits hard yearly. Man, the level of petty this guy has is unmatched. He'd rather lose games than add a potentially dynamic player to his offense.
Or, and probably more likely the kid still thinks he's in high school and doesn't understand accountability.
