If and its always an if because D2 only has 36 scholarships to offer and most are broken up.

Likelihood of his seeing any playing time or getting a D1 scholarship any time soon is very minimal. Finally C) all of the above. So I guess its all depends on what the offers were.
Players decide on programs for many different reasons.....here are a few: Some players aspire to play pro football; some just want their college paid for; some players want specific schools regardless of $$ offeted; some players just have enormous ego; some just wanna be close to home. AND according to you Tech, many decide their entire future based on how "snazzy and nifty" the unis are....hahaha..707.

So taking a partial or tiny DII scholly is not always the best. AND om the flip side, sometimes selecting a DII over a FCS is the better move. Each players situation is different.

You missed, what I consider, the mist important factor.....Academic reasons.EXAMPLE: If, by chance, he wants to enter Law Enforcement, no better school to pick than SHSU.

If I'm Coach Hughes, especially after our sorry ass kicking last year that definitely cost us the Angelo game and maybe the Commerce game, this kid gets a full ride!!!

Regardless of where they play or how "snazzy and nifty" their unis are, the vast majority of college players don't have a fairy tale ending. Especially that of PWOs like JJ Watt or Santana Moss.
Regarding picking based on "snazzy and nifty" unis, Jimmy G. didn't and look where it got him!!!!! 707
