Josh Kerr Cited in HH Post of Florida Schools Recruiting Attrition
Thought this should be linked in here. The article mentions Josh Kerr and offers the following concerning the rationale for Josh not staying with Miami
Quote:
Take Miami and Josh Kerr. A year ago, Miami counted Kerr, an offensive lineman from Strongsville, Ohio, among its incoming class. At 6 feet 4 and 275 pounds, Kerr was considered one of the best offensive linemen in Ohio. UM outfought Ohio State for his signature.
He was a full academic qualifier, but sometime after signing day, Miami asked him to delay enrolling at UM until January 2005. Kerr said no. Miami gave him a release, though it's unclear whether Kerr asked for it.
Through UM spokesman Rick Korch, Miami coaches said they had no idea what became of their former recruit. A reporter for the Cleveland Plain Dealer said Kerr's mother, Susan, told the paper in the spring that Josh was to enroll this year at Ohio State, where older brother John is a Buckeyes linebacker. Phone calls to Kerr's home in Ohio were not returned.

The implication is that Miami had more recruits than roster spots. Which differs from early opining on Josh's mental acuity. It is still not clear from hte info in this thread (or the article excerpt above) if Josh is destined to join his brother in Scarlet & Grey.
