A couple of days ago in the Dion Bailey thread I posted some pieces of an article on recruiting saga. One of them was:
There were several reasons he chose USC including not wanting to be away from his mom and the urging of his HS coach, Duane Wages, who Gray considered a father figure. The FB coach, an ardent Gamecock, acknowledged in the article much of the blame for the early decision was his.

Now I see his HS coach, Duane Wages who I called a "father figure" is actually a "guardian" according to the IrishSportsDaily article.

Great to hear he's back, his head is on straight and he's in shape ready to go.
It's gonna be an awesome secondary.
Sudden changes!
