Rumblings on JT....
Although I would deem it unlikely that the OGT Turner had taken 12 days ago has already been graded, there are a few unsubstantiated rumblings on $ sites that he might have not qualified. Usually the mods there squash things of this nature, so a non-response is...worrying.
Considering our need at safety, I hope this proves to be untrue.
Shit.
Okay, on Scout?
other one.
I hate this. But am kinda glad to know. Hope this isn't substantiated. Is this his last crack at it?
The test he took 12 days ago would be his last chance to qualify.
With the defense being my main concern, this hurts.
Every update that has come out on the "internets" seems to say that JT should be okay. It seems like Rivals and Scout sometimes sensationalize a bit just to drum up interest during dead periods (ie right now)
Hopefully Tom shows up and dispels this rumor....
He's likely not to in the hope people buy subscriptions to see if he did.
Well it doesn't do anything for our need at safety - he was recruited as a cornerback.
But regardless, it's all rumors right now, and apparently a "backup plan" is being made for prep school. Considering just days ago it was "no worries from the good guys" and now a "backup plan" may be in the works.....
Specifics anyone? fuck?
God he better have made it. If he didn't thats just ridiculous. You should be able to pass these tests in 3rd grade. If he didn't make it will he be here in a year? Juco?
JUCOs are for kids with GPAs in the 1.0s and low 2.0s.
For Turner, I've heard two different scenarios:
1. He goes to prep school for a semester, takes the OGT again in December (or January), passes it, and enrolls at UM in the winter.
2. He goes to prep school for a year, gets a diploma from there (which is the equivalent of passing the OGT/getting a regular HS diploma), and he arrives at Michigan either in the spring or summer next year.
Either way, one semester or one year at a prep school does not affect NCAA eligibility, for those wondering.
Well at least he could play for four years, although his skills might not benefit from a year off. We need him this year though. I find it unlikely that he has gotten his scores yet though.
If he goes the prep school route he will probably go to someplace like Hargrave Military Academy or someplace like that that has a great football program. They usually play team's JV squad so I doubt his skills would decline much.
there are rumors of preparations for prep school just in case but he has not received his scores yet.
It usually does take at least 2 weeks to get scores back. At least for the ACT and SAT it did.

Ohio Graduation Tests (intervention required)
(Results due August 25, 2009, early roster for seniors due August 3, 2009)

That's a good sign. But I wonder if they rushed it for him because he wants to get up here right now to start getting ready.
I would like to know the answer to this question as well.
I would love to see a sample test
I'm still laughing out loud
Damn that is impressive.
I believe the OGT's own website says that those who took the last test (June 14th or something) will receive their results in early August.
EDIT: "me" got it.
Can we actually await real news before we freak out?
Please?
But, if he doesn't make it then HIT THE PANIC BUTTON OH NOES!
I will take all bets right now, 4 to 1 he is eligible.
What are we betting? High fives? Hugs?
points baby just points
This needs to be implemented as soon as humanly possible. There should be an entire section devoted to points betting.
We can have a standard sports book (with lines by JamieMac of course) plus the ability for users to agree to prop bets against each other.
That would be the greatest MGoPoints invention in the history of MGoPoints.
I disagree. The greatest thing about posting on the Internet is that there is no accountability!
See: McFarlin
but I think the reason you are scoring points for this post is the superb use of BOLD in your comment (when I am too lazy to even look up the guide on how to do it myself via html). One day...
I don't even know what the hell html is, I gotta get busy here
how will this work? i hope he qualifies but i have a bad feeling about this. If he can barely graduate high school how is he going to stay eligible.
You must not have been paying attention.
Why all the worrying? It seems like it's impossible for anyone to have information on whether he passed, considering the test hasn't been graded yet. Are all these panic rumors flying around because he is making a worst-case scenario plan? I think we should be encouraged that he's thinking of a backup plan
He's allegedly made plans to attend a prep school if he's not qualified. So everyone assumes he's not qualified. It just needs to play itself out.
I do not subscribe to Rivals or Scout. I do think they have something to gain by teasing this story out. How many other big time recruits are still on the fence? can't be many.
I saw this earlier in The Fort but refrained from posting b/c of fear of fear mongering.
Fear of fear!
Try not to worry
I still think he will be fine

I agree with you

I have no inside info but I'm not too optimistic. It seems like most of these guys don't come through in their final try. (And sadly, those who do manage to get in by the skin of their teeth frequently go on to have more academic problems in college.) I'm going to assume he won't make it and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
it was back in 03 but she being pretty intelligent said that if you couldn't pass that test, that pretty much made you a moron... So who knows. Just say thank god I grew up and graduated in MI.
It's not like the MEAP is any harder though. Let's be real here guys.

There are at least two Michigan-related people named "JT."
One is JT Floyd.
The other is Justin Turner.
I know we're talking about Turner in this case, but seeing "JT" in a subject line isn't very helpful.
If I put "Rumblings about MO" in the subject line, that could be Mark Ortmann or Martavious Odoms, right? Yeah. It could.
That would clearly indicate a post concerning Martavious.
I would think Stooges or Mo Green.
