Early Enrollee question

I still don't know a clear answer on this.

They can practice if they are enrolled. I haven't seen anything changing that. I've never really seen the point of it to be honest. They can't travel or anything else so there's really no value in them participating in a couple practices IMO

15 = a couple?

Interesting

Even more interesting: will the EE's be enrolled and on campus for all 15 practices? Nope...so they would more than likely only be there for a few practices at most. And the final practices will be all game prep so they wouldn't be participating in that anyway.

IDK but every article I've ever saw said the extra practices are valuable especially to the young guys. Even if you're only getting a portion of those practices with EE and most are game prep you still can get some work in with those guys.

I can see how it's valuable for an EE to get his feet wet so they will know what to expect come spring practice. There aren't many EEs who will get there early enough to practice anyway so it isn't like it makes a huge difference. Jmo...

They'll get to practice at school. When the team travels to the bowl site, they cannot go. So, I'd say around 10 practices. I agree with you, still valuable time to spend for a new guy.

Yep...they can participate in bowl practices as long as they have been admitted to UT and have been cleared by the NCAA clearinghouse. Cannot travel with team to bowl or participate.

Very valuable to the two QB's coming in early.

I really don't know but I was under the impression that none of the EE's could enroll at UT before early January because none of them will be leaving high school until mid-late December. Is there something I'm missing?

No I don't think so. They changed it to where new players cannot participate in bowl practices a few years back iirc. That's why you see some of the EEs (like Jack Jones and Andrew Butcher for example) playing in AA games.

Correct to the best of my knowledge. Classes begin Jan 7. Not sure if you are considered officially enrolled before then, probably depends on date of HS graduation and completion of NCAA clearinghouse process, etc.

Once you are enrolled in classes and cleared by the NCAA clearinghouse, you are considered officially enrolled as far as I know. If everything is taken care of, you can participate in the practices. When it comes to the clearinghouse, you never know how quickly it'll happen, which is why we don't see many EEs participate in bowl practices IMO.
