Is he responsive to painful/obnoxious stimuli?

definitely a 3 on the GCS

No, he's not a 3 on the GCS if he opens his eyes spontaneously...

whoops. i mean when he was first admitted, he was a 3. i would say a 7.

Did you test him for a response to painful stimuli or are you just assumming that he has no response?

If he responds to pain then I would say he's awake and responsive only to painful stimuli...
