Does he still sign with FSU if they spilled the beans? Sounds like grounds for elimination to me.

I know I would. He wasn't even committing to anyone by signing these papers. I'd hate to see how early they would leak his decision if he wasn't choosing them. Such is the business of recruiting though..

I don't see what FSU had to gain by leaking if they were in it. Maybe someone just had too big of a mouth.

If it can be proved that it was FSU, one would think they just eliminated themselves by not respecting their wishes. If the Malones can't trust them to keep a simple request, how can they trust them with their kid?

Maybe they were hoping the Malone's would think TN leaked it and be mad at TN? Or, it could have just been TN he signed with and they are butthurt and him signing with the other two is a smokescreen???

Of course, it actually could have been a big mouth at TN that leaked it as well. No one has shown proof other than one guys opinion it was FSU.

I'm not 100% sold on FSU leaking the info. They have more to lose than to gain by doing so.

I think Franklin leaked it to Barton Simmons, and that's why Simmons flipped his crystal ball prediction.

It doesn't matter in the long run.

@jmoore_21: FWIW, Michael Langston of warchant.com is the one reporting Malone has signed the financial agreement to Tennessee.

Not sure who this guy is. It just game across my twitter feed. Warchant is FSU's rivals page.

Not if FSU knew he only signed with UT. If they knew he's not going to FSU and got pissed like Franklin. Then they leaked it to be low down like Franklin did.

The news of Josh Malone having signed the new NCAA grant-in-aid papers that force a school to guarantee its verbal scholarship offer was not a great surprise on Thursday. VolQuest.com had been aware the Malone family had looked into the early signing option in-depth.

But the family had strongly expressed a desire to keep that information quiet in order to help Josh, who has never sought attention, maintain a more manageable handle on the situation.

So what's it mean? Well, Malone has signed the papers with Tennessee and could sign them with others. He's in possession of papers from at least one other member of his group of finalists.

The upside for the papers rests always with the prospect. Yes, it allows schools who hold signed papers to escape the NCAA's contact restrictions but it's a boost for prospects who are guaranteed a scholarship but not bound to any one signature.

Malone still will visit Clemson officially, and the timeline remains that Malone will officially declare his choice Dec. 4. Now, the fallout from Thursday's events seemed to center particularly on one school: FSU. Every source contacted by VolQuest.com pointed the leak at Tallahassee.

I just don't understand how this could have helped fsu in any way. Even if the info was leaked without it coming back to fsu I don't see how it helps. I would think any chance that they still had has been completely erased. IMO it's down to us and uga. With Clemson having the slimmest of chances (never know when a recruit takes an OV).

If you know the family doesn't want anybody to know, and you know that, at least for the time being, the only school he has actually signed papers with is not you, then you release the info to make it seem like the only school with inked paper went against the family wishes and leaked the info. It is a gamble, but one you might be willing to take if you know you're probably going to lose without taking this gamble.
