I guess the Pitt coaches had a pretty good idea over the summer where that extra scholarship they didn’t have but have been offering, would come from. Darnell Dodson was not cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse to be eligible this season. Rather than continue attending Pitt and trying to get eligible for next year, Dodson has apparently opted to head to junior college.

Dodson decided to leave because he wanted to continue his playing career.

Because he was enrolled at Pitt and taking courses attending a prep school was not an option. Dodson could return to Pitt after his stint Miami Dade [Junior College], but if that happens it won’t be until the 2009-10 season.

Well, hopefully he will get his work in order and Pitt and Dodson can still come together in a couple years.
