'18 GA LB JJ Peterson (Tennessee signee)

[GoVolsDR]

So at this point, we have to hope for JJ to do well in whatever summer courses he's enrolled in currently, and also hope that whatever GPA bump there is to his high school grades do enough so that the "sliding scale" is in line with NCAA academic clearing house standards?

Yikes, hope he has cool summer school teachers

 

[LA Vol]

That's what I was getting at.

Sorry. No harm intended.

I knew that. You're one of the nicest posters on here. We're good. :hi:

Whew. I'm glad. How's your wife doing? Didn't she have a hip issue that was causing her a lot of pain?

She had a hip replacement this morning. She's doing as well as she could be. Waiting for the spinal block to subside so they can get her up and about. Thanks for asking.

I hope she has a good recovery... surgery is tough. Hope all is well sir!

Thanks. Dr said she was a tough gal. Said there were bone spurs and he had to clean up some torn cartilage. Said it had to be painful. On a bad note he said her other hip probably wasn't far behind.

Oh, wow, I didn't realize it was that serious. Glad to hear they were able to fix the problem and she's doing well! Keep us posted.

I don't think this kid will ever play here.

It's that sliding scale. If you have a higher GPA you can have a lower ACT. If you have a higher ACT you can have a lower GPA. I can't recall the exact numbers.

Didn't he have a high ACT score?

That dawg fan gonna be back to say told ya so....

 

[Catbone]

Maybe it's being a bit classless but if you really can't find a way to get your **** together with all the help provided in school, you really don't deserve to be at Tennessee. What a waste.

Why so hostile? He still has until Fall to make it into class...

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Not gonna be too pleased with Mathews if this guy doesn't get in. He put it at 99% yesterday.

 

[JRVFL]

So we’re just totally ignoring the continued optimism by Doug Mathews and VQ staff? Get it together, fellas.

Not sure how Matthews will sleep at night

Optimism is just a sign that something bad will happen soon according to the BVS handbook.

Oooooh nooooo

It's too late for Peterson to retake the ACT and be guaranteed results before the start of fall session. So he has to get the course grade he needs to raise his core GPA enough to receive NCAA certification. He can't enroll and participate in team activities without it. Same scenario it's always been.

 

[butchna]

I don't recall seeing it.

What was Jerome Carvin’s ACT score?

How can he be so far behind?

 

[LA Vol]

How can he be so far behind?

IDT he's off much... or they wouldn't still be thinking he could make it in.

 

[Sleegro]

How can he be so far behind?

If I remember correctly he ended up having to live with Propst so it sounds like he didn't have a great home situation. I may be thinking of someone else but I think that was him.
