Dequan Finn had two Division I college scholarship offers out of high school, and, in a perfect world, the quarterback would still be Toledo’s little secret.
Alas ...
In the real world, Finn’s exclamation-point of a sophomore season has yielded to an unavoidable question of the times.
Can the Rockets keep him?
You’ve probably heard the chatter.
It began during Toledo’s primetime visit to Ohio State last month, when Finn’s playmaking wizardry against one of the top teams in the country seized the imagination of a sold-out crowd and network TV audience.
Next thing you knew, the buzz wasn’t about how good Finn will be for the Rockets this season, but how good he could be for someone else next season.
