Too late for him to play at any other big time school this year, especially when he wants it to be out west, so it's not like he takes a hit. He'll go JUCO or Prep this year out west and go to a PAC 10 school or something next year, and he also avoids the public hit of being the guy who got homesick in August. Makes sense to me.
But what makes more sense is that this was a clearinghouse issue, as everyone else is saying. Saying it is but it actually isn't still does nothing to benefit Watkins. And Weber sure isn't going to go out of his way to lie to the public when the truth would eventually get out anyways.
More than likely, there was confusion surrounding the 5 high schools he attended in 4 years. His transcripts were likely jumbled, had a class on there never approved by the clearinghouse, was affected by the new for 2008 clearinghouse rules,...whatever.
