I was close to the situation when he was at LC, and he flat-out didn't do what he needed to in order to remain eligible. He wasn't even being asked to do that much (drivers ed). I agree, he's going to have all sorts of problems getting through the clearing house.

If he becomes eligible to play at West, it will be an absolute joke.

how do you fail drivers ed? that was the case right? all you have to do is shop up and sleep if you don't wanna be there lol?

Just had to show up, and that proved to be a problem. He was even given a chance to redeem himself over the summer, and he still couldn't get it done.

We know how talented he is, but I don't know why West is trying so hard to get him eligible. The book is out on this kid, and I'm sure the TSSAA will be taking a very close look at West if he is suddenly able to suit up.

amazing. this kid doesn't deserve his scholly unless he get's it together. I wish Dooley would pull it and tell him if he got it right he could earn it back. I don't think he's gonna be in this class anyways.

WASTE.
OF.
TIME.

Totally agree. I just don't know how this kid is suddenly going to turn it on, from an academic standpoint. The path is clear, and there is plenty of outside motivation there (especially if Dooley pulls his scholarship), but you can't make a horse thirsty, nor can you make him drink.

Not trying to pile on the kid, but there aren't too many examples out there of guys who've suddenly been able to turn it around this late in the game.

it's hard to just all of a sudden "turn it on" your senior year after you've messed around as much as he has. time will tell..

Unless you are attempting to play basketball for UK, ie. eric Bledsoe, then you can turn three years worth of sub 1.5 GPA into a UK suitable GPA in one year.

I officially don't want. Huge red flag. Kid doesn't seem to want to help himself. Time to move on.

that being said, if he fails drivers ed how does he expect to come in and maintain a gpa thats required to play in the SEC? won't happen IMO. i honestly don't believe he'll see the field on a d-1 level..

In some ways, yes. But he'll go to prep school and should be an absolute beast. He's legit 6'3" and about 215. Solid as hell. If he gets it together, we'll have our hands full trying to recruit him again. I'll keep you updated when I can.

Actually I have some info on this, he for some reason got taken out of drivers ed (Don't know if he thought he was moving or what) but one of my friends actually took his spot in drivers ed and he couldn't get back in. Don't think he failed though.

If it wasn't illegal, I would do his work for him. And if I didn't have college that is..

I would like to see this kid get it together and rep that orange and white.

Seems this is the staffs approach. Let him stay committed until its obvious to him he can't pass admissions. That will keep things civil and open. Who knows? Maybe we'll get a 2nd CP from Hutchinson for '14..

I'm pretty darn close to the situation but don't know his grade situation with West (whether he qualifies or not). All I know is that even if he does it's going to be hard to get him through the clearinghouse with all the troubles/transferring that he's done. It's obvious why he's doing it. School needs to be more important to football to him right now, and I just don't see that happening. Hopefully it does, but if I were a betting man I'd bet on him not being here. We should know shortly though. Gotta be tough on him with teams like TN/Bama after him and he may have messed it all up by being a knuckle head.

SIAP, this was posted on CoachT.com

"According to his transcript from Lenoir City he was only 1 credit shy of being eligible to play for them . He made that credit up over the summer through Knox Countiy's credit recovery program, which is an online course software called E=Learning. And that program is used county wide for any student that needs to retake a course. The reason he is at West and not Lenoir City is because his guardianship changed from his uncle who was fired at Lenoir City, to his real dad who lives 2 blocks from West and where he has 2 brothers that have played for the last 2 years. He could play for Lenoir City if he wanted to pay tuition and drive to Lenoir City everyday. He never did live in their zone, he could play for them because his guardian at the time was employed there.

So, here is where it stands. Academically according to TSSAA guidelines he is going to be eligible. He did have a legal change of guardian to his real dad who does actually lives in the West zone. So, those things are working in his favor. There is one more hurdle to clear. Lenoir City has to write a letter stating that he did not transfer solely for athletics. Wether they are willing to do that remains to be seen. If they do then the decision on his eligiblity falls right in the lap of the TSSAA executive director, Bernard Childress. We shall see."

1 credit short is all? Alot of people on here made it seem like he had went to class 3 days in the last 2 years. Either there is alot more to the story, or something is very off here.
