'10 SC DE Brandon Willis

[Zasnow]

Did his dad get his old job back or something?

 

[I4Jay]

His grandmother is gravely ill

 

[jacobyvoln27]

Any chance Corey gets in his ear & we pull him.

 

[lylsmorr]

Man that sucks. I wish he could catch a break

 

[Zasnow]

His grandmother is gravely ill

Do you know what of?

I doubt it.

I don't believe we need another JJ situation. This guy has bounced around like a super ball. I'm sure some of what is going on is not in his control, but his whole process has been :crazy: at best. I wish him well but let it be somewhere else.

 

[RikidyBones]

Would he have to sit out another year?

Well wishes to his grandmother. If BW and his father are returning to SC, then it probably is better if he were to stay close by his family...maybe Clemson.

Yes, unless the NCAA were to consider this special circumstances and release to him play (2011).

 

[TennesseePride]

Hasn't he already been to north Carolina?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Hasn't he already been to north Carolina?

Yeah... I thought he was in Chapel Hill already. Didn't he enroll there the day after Kiffin left?

 

[MI7]

Tragic. His mom less than one yr ago and now his Grandma is very ill...feel for him.

If it's about being close to his Grandma and family then Clemson (1 hr) would be closer than Columbia (just under 2 hrs), Chapel Hill (3.5 hrs) or Knoxville (3 hrs).

UCLA release on Brandon Willis - Inside UCLA with Jon Gold

Defensive tackle Brandon Willis to play at UCLA - ESPN Los Angeles

 

[OrangeDog]

It's great that his Dad has found a job in, as luck would have it, Southern California.

I wish him well........ he was smarter than we were about special K.

 

[Hoss Diesel]

Brandon Willis has been granted release by UCLA and is likely headed to UNC per JHop

Unbelievable.

[HialeahGator]

so he's heading back to UNC?

 

[UTVOL02]

lol

 

[RandRams]

Sounds like he's headed back home to Duncan. Obviously, we all know he signed w/ UNC before his release and move (w/ father) to LA/UCLA, however, I'm unclear whether BW's plans are to return to UNC or attend elsewhere.

 

[1orangews6]

I for one wouldn't mind him coming to UT. Willis and Miller would well on the line and we could always use more DL.

 

[KnoxVillain]

I'd still take him.

 

[abb4]

I'd still take him.

In a heartbeat, kids a player. Unfortunately that ship has sailed I believe.

Kid's life is a mess, and I don't think Dooley will bring it in to try and help fix it. Got too many other issues on the team to deal with right now. Wish Brandon the best, he's a good kid in a tough spot.

 

[VOLFANINMAITLNDFL]

Surprised to see his name pop up. Thought his move to LA was his final. Life can be tough sometimes and changes happen.

It's not like he's an egomaniac bouncing from school to school. He wanted to follow his father to Cali and now his grandmother is very sick, so he wants to move back. There's nothing to fix.

 

[Ravenheart]

Geez. This is awful. Prayers sent Brandon's way. He's really having a tough time.
