If you operate under the assumption that Smith's recruitment didn't take away from our recruitment of a PG who is academically qualified, you're right. I think that's a safe assumption to make. Timmy Crowell is the only guy we seemed to have a shot with and he isn't a difference maker.(hvwarrior58 @ Jun 29 said:We all knew he had issues but this is a no harm no foul situation. Even if he doesn't qualify, what bad will come of it? We will be in good position for him when he gets out of prep and we are in good with his friend Manny Harris.
There was a lapse between him leaving prep school and returning to Detroit. My understanding is that it was substantially shorter than a month.(hvwarrior58 @ Jul 1 said:Yeah, I read on another board that he made the grade. His transcript will go through scrutiny. It isn't as bad as some people think(5+ high schools and blah blah blah). He went from his HS to a prep school that UCONN told him to for grades. After a short time at that prep school, he dropped out and decided to go back to the previous HS. The problem is, I've read that he went right back to the school but I've also heard he was out of school for a month before going back. If it was the latter, he may not get through. If it was the former, it shouldn't be a big deal.
