Virginia Tech offers former Clemson QB

I thought this was interesting and worthy of its own thread.
Honestly, I like this offer. Kid is cocky as hell and his bad attitude is well documented. Some of the VT insiders say that the Clemson situation was a bit overblown.
This tells me that...
A) The offensive coaches (Lefty) are desperate for someone who can play at a high level NEXT year. From what I read, the Kelly kid can enroll from Miss CC in January.
B) Beamer is desperate. He knows that the door is closing on him QUICKLY and that VT supporters want results NOW!
C) The staff has very little confidence on anyone on the roster playing QB next year. All confidence has obviously been lost in Brewer and Motley may be a project?? Durkin and Ford are obviously not ready to step in as RS Frosh and be the guy.
It wreaks of desperation, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Hopefully this guy has been humbled a bit by his past regressions. If he has the athletic ability (most important factor), can be a leader, and can bring an attitude and cockiness to this offense (which I personally don't see as a bad thing)... Then I think this could be as successful for VT as the Marshall, Newton, etc situations have been for other teams.
Some SEC teams are interested, but I believe VT is the first team to offer. A wild card in all this could be the fact that he is HOFer Jim Kelly's nephew and we all know that he and Bruce Smith are boys. Not sure what he has left wrt eligibility? I would think a couple years?
I would be interested to hear the take of some Clemson people on this one too...
