I really don't care if they barely have a 3rd grade education but if they can play ball and help us win championships then by goodness sign him up.

The math thing is huge. With only ten fingers and toes recruits who aren't good enough in math never know if there's more than 11 men on the field, thus more "12 men on the field/in the huddle" penalties.
Simple.
Can't count, can't play sign.

I really can't believe the SEC requires more academically than the Big 10 or Pac 10 as a whole. Realisitically, the SEC doesn't compete with those two conferences from an academic perspective.

Math is like anything in life...use it or lose it. Most College level Math is something 90% of vocations out there simply do not make use of. I'm one of those that would rather have teeth pulled than take a Math class I know will NEVER benefit me and all the concepts will be purged from memory in a few years time.

Lots of people hate Math, and I've never been a fan of the Education System trying to force students to have to waste valuable time and tuition money on classes that have no ability to contribute to a persons success in their chosen field.

People...especially educators who want nothing more than to secure their employment, routinely say "well, it contributes to one's overall knowledge and makes them more well-rounded." BS! anything you do not routinely practice, you forget...it gets completely flushed from memory. So why invest in something that, like electronics...just completely loses value in a year or two?
Instead of 50-60 percent of a College students time being wasted on Gen Ed class...they NEED to use those 4 year MUCH more efficiently. For example, careers in 3D animation...my current field. Most private and state colleges DO NOT sufficiently prepare students to enter the field...because they do not spend the necessary amount of time training in the specific vocation, and instead completely waste 2+ years in school taking BS Gen Ed class that won't help them in the field one lick. Now...if you at least make that 3 full years of in-depth animation and art skills training, they come away much more prepared.

I said all of that to say this...the education system as a whole needs a major overhaul. Programs that NEED the Math and Science classes should be the only ones pushing it. There is absolutely no need to force a student to have to take a physics or chemistry class that WILL NEVER UTILIZE IT. . The same goes for Math. The average person will never need to do math problems from a College level. What is learned in HS is more than sufficient for 80-90% of the population.

Jimmy Buffet has a great song called "Math Sux". Never realized it was a recruiting song until today

Sorry I should have read up on it. I just dont see how a player would want to play for a scum bag coach. If a coach just contacted you a week ago doesnt that mean something? Either they are getting disperate or they are doing in in spite of UT.

If he wants to join the roaches then let him. Maybe they won't be on probation till he leaves....

I think math develops one's mind in valuable ways (problem solving, etc.) whether one ever uses the underlying math in life. Basic college algebra is a good basic foundation IMO. Problem solving is a very valuable skill to obtain.

"I’m committed to Tennessee still, but I’d say I’m open." Stanley quote from govols article.

What does that even mean?

It means "I haven't called the UT coaches to decommit(still committed) but he obviously is considering his options. So he is currently and may remain committed to Tennessee, but he has not entirely shut the door on changing his mind. People get worked up over this but I think he's being pretty straightforward.
