Obviously, you always have to factor in character, and there is a trade off of talent vs character. Nichol has no character issue, he is just talent, why wouldnt you want him?

I wouldn't want him if adding him causes 2 other QBs to leave because they were sold a bill of goods. Look, if the other QB's are fine with it and stay, I say no problem, but is it right to tell kids here's the situation you have a scholarship if you want to come in and compete, then change the situation after the fact? Like I said if the other QB's are fine with it, AND KN doesn't turn out to be a malcontent, then alright. If one or more of the other QB's decides it's BS, I couldn't say I blame them, and I don't think it's a good signal to the rest of the team, or to recruits. Dantonio says such and such now, but what happens after I verbal?
Frankly, taking back the recruit who dumped you for a "better offer" after going on and on about how he always wanted to be a Spartan, then not even talking to you, then leaving his better team because he didn't like the competition, DOES make me wonder about the kid's character.
