No they didn't forge checks like Adrian McPherson.
BC did nab themselves a 25 year old though. And not the cool "oh I got me a 25 year old grad student last night" that you tell your boys freshman year.
The Eagles got him Weinke style, after a long, less than productive minor league stint they've added a baseball defeated David Shinskie to their fold. The 25 year old former Twins prospect signed on with the Chestnut Hill squad early this week.

With the dismissal of Dominique Davis the Eagles were hurting for an experienced qb on the roster. Well they got one, only his experience was on the diamond, slogging away in the world of long bus rides, $1 beer nights, Annie styled-minor league-cougar-lifer-groupies and strange mascots; not the ACC gridiron.
However minor league guys have fared well as college quarterbacks whether its Dennis Dickson playing both at once or Weinke going 6 seasons and then crossing over. Shinskie should get to campus by second session and get in the playbook quickly.
Personally I predict he'll be just fine as long as Spaziani won't ask him to do too much. With the freshmen sitting on the roster Shinskie seems to be the obvious choice to start, even after a 6 year hiatus.
