HELL NO he's not.....

So IF the kid pans out and becomes a stud Gillespie looks like a helluva coach for "spotting" talent and maybe he goes on to BIG$ of pro ball..... If the kid shreds his knee....HE looks like a smart kid that took advantage of the system which is EXACTLY what he should do because the % chances of him getting a college education paid for and making it to guaranteed money to set him and his family up for life in 7 years don't come around often enough!
Man I would love to have you on the *other* side of the table in any business negotiations.
