You have to be the most naive person in the world. What did TCU, Kansas St and Baylor have in comon during the mid 1990s. A C A D E M I C - R I S K S

Of course the most famous TCU non-qualifier from this era Tyson Thompson plays for the Dallas Cowboys now doesn't via JUCO via TCU via Irving. You had a big DT who was the running joke for 3 years who couldn't get qualified out of high school and then couldn't graduate from JUCO. You had a DB from Ft. Worth who was a non-qualifier. If it wasn't 10 years ago I would have a nice little list for you because I kept track of it and posted it on SMU fan boards. Point is TCU got big into taking the marginal academic risk that no one knew would qualify until August. SMU doesn't take those kids

Again, you like to make biased and undocumented accusations. I have already proven Jerry Levy to be a lying SOB and disproven most if not all of your claims.

Coach Coleman in many interviews (most of which I am sure you have seen and failed to post because they may you look even more foolish) has clearly stated TCU was the 1st school recruiting LT and that it was late in the process. LT signed in Feb and TCU not on him until basketball season (Waco was in the playoffs, so guess when they saw him?).

LT received his degree from TCU, was a full-qualifier out of HS and yet you continue this BS about him being a grade risk.

Check out this article from NBCSports:

I never said he wasn't a full-qualifer. Look at my first post. I said he was a full qualifier that was an academic risk during the recruiting. That's why the academic risk trio (TCU, Baylor and Kansas St.) got involved.

You said he was a grade risk but offered no proof just your ass-wipe conjectures. He had good grades and never scored a 530 on his SAT. Levy never saw the films in 1995 and definitely never saw an SAT score on him in 1995. Both of you are lying SOBS!

I invented a term called "late-qualifiers" to specifically refer to players who did not project as qualifiers and who were questionmarks during the recruiting season but would sign with schools like TCU, Baylor, Arkansas and Kansas St on the hopes they might qualify. Marginal academic risks. Tomlinson and many more Horned Frogs of that era fit that description-get over it-YOU KNOW THE TRUTH. That is exactly how TCU got some of their best players.

Wow, what a great invention. How about a term for a poster who makes up facts and when called upon them either changes the subject or post totally irrelevant information.

Oh, wait that is already invented, its called a [deleted]. Thanks for the post [deleted]. Thanks for the fun, but you can have the remaining fun all to yourself (you are used to that I bet) because it is obvious you will not show any proof and will continue with nothing but jerk-off comments.

Sorry I had to but you down so hard. Good luck in your little world.

The only thing I know about LT was on a rainy night at Ford Stadium the day after Thanksgiving, he personally kicked our [deleted] as TCU embarrassed us, 62-7.

Oh, and I thought the feature 60 minutes did on him last week was pretty good. Nice publicity for TCU. Wish we had someone we could point to.

Congrats to LT's success.

Guess my question would be Stallion if he was 19 his junior year, then has a big season and not in the top 44 his senior season?

by **Stallion** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 11:29 pm

it was on a different list. Hey there are guys every year who didn't even start as Juniors who make it into some Top 100 lists because of evaluation during the summer of their Junior year. Greg McCleroy from Plano now at Alabama for example. The kid that SMU signed late Shankle is a guy who didn't play his Junior year and he was on some of those lists. Happens all the time because recruits are not evaluated on stats but by how they project to the next level. Tomlinson was a starter on defense and as FB as a Junior. Scouts pick up on the great athletes even when they may be in a position that doesn't match their skills.

McElroy was from Southlake. Doesn't Rivals list what high school they play for?

LT did not start on the D his JR year. Quit making sheet up.

Hell I knew who he was. I will admit UT and A&M never offered-I know that to be true-they did have recruits with bigger reps at the time. The basis of the story was true. YOU know full well that at the time LT was recruited TCU had bushels of non-qualified players several (at least 5) of which never made it into school. TCU doesn't seem to do that as much today but at the time TCU was one of the worst offenders. LT was one of many-aqlthough I admit and have never denied he was a full qualifier. He retook the SAT but he was an academic risk late into the recruiting season..

Right, kinda like you knew he was a Top 19 recruit after his junior season in which he spent as a blocking fullback. LT was not a grade risk. His mom was a minister in Waco and spent countless hours making sure he got his grades right. In 1995 he had not even taken the SAT.

Not sure why you want to try and diminish the reputation of one the really good guys in the NFL. You are one sorry human being and you have absolutely no support to any of your statements except the word of some lying assistant recruiter who I have already proved as such. Also have proven most of your statements incorrect, yet you want to continue with them.

You are one sorry person!

A++ Finally someone who put Stallion in his place.
