reader returns

Apparently walking on to a major college football program isn't as easy as tossing a pass.
Quarterback Brian Reader has left the University of Arkanas program after spending a fall on the sidelines.
Reader never received a scholarship, never stepped on the field.
To a degree, it's a wasted year.
Sure, he didn't lose any eligiblity. But Reader needed to play this year -- somewhere.
Had he enrolled at a junior college this year and put up similar numbers to what he did at Palma in 2006, Reader likely would have a scholarship today.
Instead, the 6-foot-4 gunslinger will start all over, either enrolling at Monterey Peninsula College or Hartnell. The good thing is Reader understood his situation instead of laboring in Arkansas.
Remember, Reader only started his senior year at Palma. He's a hidden gem that has a big upside in the right situation.
