Kent Turene

Submitted by Rbigdog222 on

Any news on how the Kent Turene school visit went? Did he receive an offer? Is it in the mail or is he still being evaluated?

It's a good thing you brought this up, because I bet a bunch of people have been withholding information, just waiting for someone to ask.

Take this FWIW, but I spoke with someone about Kent, who is considered very reliable and credible, and they said his lack of an offer is probably grades/test score related.

The person I spoke with said that Kent will most likely qualify, but it's not 100% right now. They didn't say he has bad grades, but they were saying there's a chance he might not qualify. 

So, the lack of an offer makes a little more sense that way, since RR got badgered about Demar Dorsey, and now has another kid from the same school who might not qualify. It could very well be that they're waiting to see what his grades and test scores look like.

The academic evaluation that they're allowed to do might help them figure it out, or it might not. If he doesn't get offered soon, I would expect that it has to do with him qualifying.

Yeah, guess we will find out how much he really likes Michigan. I think it's going to be really hard to get a LB from SEC land away from Alabama with the success of Saban's defences and especially McClain last year. But heres to hoping we can finally land a top LB prospect.
