"According to a source, it's down to Iowa State, Oregon and Illinois to land the West Charlotte, N.C. native's services."

So obviously this isn't an NCAA clearing problem...it is either a.) An SMU clearing problem or b.) He simply had a change of heart and wants to go elsewhere.

[SMUstangs22]

Well that sucks.

Decommit or we couldn't get him in?

[hoopmanx]

No idea the real deal, but we could have used another live body early in the year

[smupony94]

NCAA has not cleared him

[SMUstangs22]

If they clear him would he still come to SMU?

[Stallion]

since he never signed-he's a free agent

if its from the SMU side I think it might be related to our poor APR scores and not wanting to take a kid below the traditional 830 SAT (recentered from 700)

its an APR thing, even if he clears the NCAA

So, it's a by-product of Larry's plan for putting the re-build on steroids over the first three years? It obviously worked, but, like all things, has unintended consequences.

here's the situation-APR is a year delayed

we busted a 904 last year-and probably going to have a bad year in the next report due to the academic problems with Frazier, Kennedy and whatshisface who left at mid-season. Need to keep multi-year (4 year average) above 930 and right now its about 945. So a good year will come off and be replaced by a second straight bad year most likely

What are the consequences if it goes below 930

[Stallion]

first scholarships then if it continues another year ineligibility for NCAA Tournament like UCONN a couple of years ago

From what I understand his reading level is not high enough to stay eligible at SMU. He will have a better chance at those other schools.

Would have to be pretty bad considering the reading levels of a couple of our guys when they entered SMU. But that makes sense.
