Gavin Grant Needs Wife

In what is possibly the most bizarre ACC personnel story I can recall, NC State's Gavin Grant is in danger of being deported.

Evidently, his mother brought him from Jamaica without any visas over ten years ago. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency says that he will likely be deported if he does not leave the country willingly and then apply for reinstatement.

It's hard to see how he will be able to play for State this year. Odds are he won't be able to finish the fall semester at school. I guess it's possible he could complete coursework remotely, but I don't know what State's regulations are concerning illegal alien students. If he does withdraw this semester, but can somehow get his visa worked out, will he be academically eligible in the spring?

For the Wolfpack, this is a pretty serious blow. Grant looked and played a lot like the departed Julius Hodge and much was expected of him this next year. Without him, they will be a much slower and unathletic team.

You know what would solve all of this? A wife. Anyone have Andie MacDowell's number?
