Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Durham now top of depth chart at Right Guard
per O-line coach Heggins. Also says the poor performance in Saturday's scrimmage by his guys was due to attitude--not being aggressive enough--and there were encouraging signs at addressing that issue in today's practice.

Brad Durham has come a long way from having his scholarship offer withdrawn by the unethical Petrino.

Durham

I am so happy that Durham is working out so well at UK. I felt really bad for the kid. Petrino really showed his true nature by pulling Durham’s scholarship offer.

What I never understood is the fact the Durham was a pretty highly recruited player. I never understood why Petrino couldn’t/wouldn’t find room for him.

Me neither.

A lot of Kentucky coaches called that move unethical, and so did I. It’s one of the major reasons why I detest Petrino so much. Just wrong.

Oh I agree.

If a kid is offered, the offer should be upheld. There are occasions when an offer might be pulled, i.e. a Bud Mackey or Jerrel Greene (sp.) situation, but that type of activity is rare.

Petrino saying that “I’ve found a better player, you’re not needed” is unethical and immoral in my opinion, and more reason for me wanting UK to DESTROY Arkansas this year, and every year he is there.
