URI is a decent academic school so don’t think this is grades related. They just went 2-10 in FCS so doesn’t say too much about his level of talent IMO
I had heard he was going to Colorado St. Weird.Westley didn't get any committable FBS offers?
I can't believe that. Thats wild, man.
Very weird. Gotta be grades.

I heard it was a test score issue....
****, Rhodes Island is slight notch up from Wagner.
Westley is short for a DT and has short arms which makes it extremely hard to disengage from taller olinemen. Neal dominated against smaller and weaker high school OL so he looked very impressive but against a quality HS olinemen he would have struggled. He had a good game against BTW but not a dominant game unlike Apopka's DT Jalen Carter.

I mean, I get it. Rhode Island is a big drop off...this kid had - at times - legit offers from P5 schools...low end P5 schools, but P5 schools. Earlier in the winter, G5 schools were supposedly heavy into him...Colorado State was mentioned earlier...I've personally heard App State and FIU mentioned, too.
Maybe Rhode Island just did a great job recruiting him. idk. Seems like a big fall for a guy that by all accounts is a good student, good enough player despite some limitations. Might have to ask around on this one, because it seems weird to me.
All of D1 uses the same sliding scale so if he qualified for Rhode Island then qualified for Indiana and Rutgers.

So I would check your source who told you it was a grades issue on why Neal committed to URI.

Same here. I'm from N.E. PA. I went to high school with Bill Celuk. And G-Mac was right down the road. Lol. I'm a big Cuse b-ball fan too...... now if you want talk Syracuse (except for the Keith Smart jumper from the side
