And as a little reminder of the other end of the spectrum, Tennessee just had a player turn down a scholarship offer in order to attend a community college, basically saying that it was a better opportunity for him for his pro aspirations (he's a catcher that figured UT would try to convert him).

Regardless, turning down a ride at a D1 for a truly typical community college (it's in my wife's hometown so I'm not totally unfamiliar) is a pretty good indication of how far the program has sunk.
