I'm not an insider, just trying to apply a little logic to the situation. This late in the game, EVERY program needs to know who they have within a reasonable level of certainty, which means that if you're not a Mathew Thomas caliber player they need a direct answer from you about your intentions. Everyone on here probably figured out that some of the remaining players have already told our coaches they are Canes. Denver apparently did not commit when he was asked to or when perhaps he had previously agreed that he would, and someone we really wanted, wanted in this class and has committed to our coaches. So to my thinking we do not pull his scholarship unless he does not have the grades or we needed it to give to someone who we need who gave us a solid commitment.
The men running our program now are not amateurs. They know full well that Thomas and Denver were teammates, and they know that Chad Thomas is on deck. They can not come out and say what went down, but common sense tells us that most likely Denver's stumble is self-inflicted - either grades or waffling with too much on the line.
One last thing, for those of you who say Denver wanted his moment in the spotlight with all the suspense, please realize that the need to know information is different between fans and coaches. Denver could have still had all the suspense in the world and the spotlight while being a silent commitment to us. However, as a program - especially this year - we can't go into the final stretch with too many uncertainties.
Kinda hurts because I see BTW as sort of an extension of our program, but again based on what I've read so far I feel this falls in Denver's lap.
