due to neck injury, his career is probably over. But, our staff honored a scholarship and stayed in contact the entire time.

‏@TimWatts_BOL A source close to Elisha Shaw told me a few weeks ago only Nick Saban and Tide staff stood by Shaw after injury.

I've seen some question this on twitter - how can he start off at Bama on a medical scholarship with the possibility of playing? Can the UA medical staff clear him after he goes on medical scholly?

I don't think there is a possibility of playing honestly.

not sure I have the right answer, if he's not signing an LOI, we may avoid certain rules....

I don't know much about Shaw, but sometimes having a player who can't play helps keep things in perspective for those who can play. Hopefully he will be a person who connects with the team and can weed out that entitlement disease. I think back to Eric LeGrande. He probably had a bigger impact after his injury than before.
