Had no idea we were making the effort to get him eligible.
Gotta believe that McDevitt believes we need him more this year for depth than he needs to red-shirt and save the year.
Regardless I was surprised to hear in pre-game that he was eligible and might play, to see that he played, and to get an explanation from McDevitt in post-game interview on his becoming eligible.
As an aside: you can be sure if a similar situation occurred at a "power" school the decision would have been made quicker.
