Apparently, Jarvis Varnado -- the nation's top shot-blocker -- has agreed to be a walk-on this season to ensure Mississippi State gets down to the requisite 13 scholarships. The move will allow newcomers John Riek and Renardo Sidney to be on scholarship, and allow Rick Stansbury to essentially operate with 14 scholarship players (assuming Riek and Sidney are cleared, which is no guarantee).
Varnado's father, Winston Varnado, told Veazey that the family will take out a student loan.
Pretty Wild. Who would have thought that a kid would decline his scholarship to be a walk on. Jarvis led the NCAA in blocked shots for the Bulldogs last year. This could mean a couple of things, just a cool story or fishyness. Like he got in trouble this offseason and he said if you don't kick me out I'll reject my scholarship. Maybe, I'm being pessimist and borderline racist, however, people don't do things out of the kindness of the heart anymore.
