Uh we had four kids sign last year who turned out not to have the grades to qualify anywhere.
February 12th, 2011 at 6:46 PM ^
the truth hurts. Did we really have four?
February 12th, 2011 at 8:32 PM ^
Yes, Conelius, Kinard, Rogers and I count Dorsey since he wasn't admitted at Louisville either and ended up at Grand Rapids CC.
February 12th, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
Who in the hell comments on a kid's grades like that? If he is a D student, let the NCAA take care of it, which I am sure they will once he picks a school.
If he passes the clearinghouse there is no way he is not admitted into any of those 3 schools.
February 12th, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
Whichever school he chooses to go to (South Carolina in all likelihood), they'll find a way to get him eligible. Even if that means getting him "diagnosed" with a learning disability, which I've heard is a probability. Isn't that how Michael Oher got into Ole Miss?
February 12th, 2011 at 3:31 PM ^
I see that his high school coach said that he'd "bet a million dollars" that Clowney would qualilfy.
In the SEC, that might just be a bet that a well-placed coach or booster could cover. And win.
February 12th, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
Maybe this is why he has been waiting to decide?
February 12th, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
If there was a kid who could be one-and-done he would be the LEADER. When the NFL fails this year watch how it trickles down to the college ranks in football. Corp. doesnt want to pay when they can get a kid that is 18(kolbe, james, numberus others). Most hate the over signing, but in reality its them or the Pros.

why is the Hargraves coach publicly talking about his student's grades? Jesus
February 12th, 2011 at 4:06 PM ^
He's talking about his student's grades because someone publicly disparaged them in a national newspaper.
February 12th, 2011 at 4:30 PM ^
But you don't go on the record and say your student has a lot of D's on his transcripts. I have a feeling the Hargraves coach is about to be out of a job or reprimanded pretty soon. I know it's a violation to do it in NCAA, but there's gotta be a similar rule in High School, no?
February 12th, 2011 at 4:43 PM ^
If your High School teacher doesnt like you WHAT ya gonna do?

"Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record."
February 12th, 2011 at 5:12 PM ^
He doesn't play at Hargraves. Still probably improper.
February 12th, 2011 at 5:28 PM ^
oh ok thanks
I can't tell if that makes it better or worse
February 12th, 2011 at 3:51 PM ^
I'd have to imagine you could get a ham sandwich academically eligible at those schools once you proved it could tackle.....
February 12th, 2011 at 4:40 PM ^
Jerelle Powe is the one you are thinging about that went to Ole Miss.
February 12th, 2011 at 4:46 PM ^
I think Clowney could produce in 2 years in the NFL.
February 12th, 2011 at 6:01 PM ^
There's a smartass retort about a certain CB in there somewhere.
February 12th, 2011 at 5:44 PM ^

The sec will make sure to use enough grease to get this D Challenged student into a Sec School, even if they have to use the grease out of Mike Slive's own vehicle. Sec Academics, a JOKE.
February 12th, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
“A lot of D’s on there,” Hargraves coach Troy Davis told the paper, adding that Clowney’s transcripts are similar to others who have enrolled at his school.
Makes sense since the kid is a "D" end!
