The question is: Is he willing to do it? Where does he go?

That is why it is a teaser. Presumably subscribers find out.

In the paper today it said both Hall and Jackson could do it. I assumed they would have redshirted anyway. I bet coach could have talked them into it if things would have been brought to light months before.

"If the student-athlete is still rejected, athletic director Steve Orsini can appeal to the Dean of Undergraduate Admissions, who has the final say. That is what happened in the case of prospective freshmen Jeremy Hall and Darryl Jackson, resulting in SMU's offer to admit them in January if they acquire sufficient credits elsewhere."

Do it Jackson

All you have to do is show up, and try to do that. They want to say that you went on to a major university. Unfortunately JC has maximums on scholarships and time limits also.. get a loan. if your folks don't make a lot it's free.

Darryl called me to say that he is heading home (Monday). He said he was offered the option of going to a junior college for a semester and then enrolling at SMU in January, but said he is looking for another (Div. I) school where he can play.
