Per scout, another player ruled academically ineligable. Had high hopes for this guy...
This is becoming an absolute joke. It sounds like there could be even more on the horizon if they don't step it up in summer school. Safe to say, my expectations for this coming season are becoming far less lofty. We just don't have the depth yet to overcome the immaturity of these kids.

Could be as many as six projected starters out unless a few guys do "EXTREMELY" well in summer school. What a great way to follow up an 8 win season and a bowl win when you expect to have nearly everyone back but instead we have academic issues! Again! Ahhh SMU. You could ruin a wet dream I swear to Jesus.

Could this be a re-hash of the T-Wilk news?... hopefully.

Nope. Its not Wilkerson. And from what I hear we could end up with half a dozen starters that won't make the grades.

Geez, what happened to the three strikes rule? How can we go to class and still be this bad?
Tech is looking as fun.

So the next question is: Do we have any recruiters out at the USC campus convincing kids to transfer into these spots?

it's an upperclassman who was admitted under the old academic standards, just like Wilkerson. sucks. i really wouldn't mind having a full juco-like curriculum, not just an easy major but for core courses too. easy to cobble together an incredibly easy program at a big state school simply by virtue of the vast array of course options.

There are plenty of easy [deleted] classes. Intro to engineering, Shakespeare, art of music, psychology, astronomy, nutrition
I made great grades in all of those and only went first day, mid-term and final

I went to every class, but rarely actually read the books and did well. There's always the dance department.

A lot of times I went to sell my books back at the end of the semester, and they were still in shrink wrap--sometimes they were still in the bag from the bookstore.
