Scout.com: Nevin McKenzie Profile

Scout.com: DeAngelo Willingham Profile

They're both sophomores at their respective JUCOs. They will both come to UT as juniors on the field.

Does prep school count as a year of eligibility?

 

[tclowers23]

Holy crap dude. I'm not arguing! I'm freaking discussing! I said, "Let me check" because I don't know ALL the NCAA rules, and neither do you. Sometimes you have loopholes, exceptions, etc. Jesus Christ, quit being a damn instigator.

Do you flip out every time you're proven wrong?

 

[hvwarrior58]

No, prep doesn't count against college eligibility.

 

[VolinArizona]

No, prep doesn't count against college eligibility.

So, Willingham graduated from prep school in 2005 and will be graduating from College of the Desert in 2006. 3 years of eligibility?

You were a complete jerk in this conversation. I always said "I think" or "Let me check" and I still could be right about years of eligibility.

Ah, thank you. I found the post i was referencing about McKenzie with 3 years, and it was posted by Volunteer Kirby. Confused about it all today, but now I know. Still no reason for you to be a d-bag.

 

[tclowers23]

Can't find anything on McKenzie. Still looking...

He's Numero 10 on the roster... so he'll have two years left as well. Wish you were right with the three, though.

I'm still confused on something though. Maybe you or someone else can help. It says on the Willingham profile he played at prep school in 2005 and JUCO in 2006. Is the rivals profile incorrect?

I wouldn't think so.

 

[VolinArizona]

I wouldn't think so.

Err, I meant scout, but that's besides the point. If, for whatever reason, Willingham was redshirted, he'd have 2 more years, yes?

This is probably the most reliable source we could find. He's No. 21.

Bah well. 2 years on the field for sure.

Scout.com seems to make it a point to be wrong... a lot. When he comes to UT, I think he'll have 3 years to play 2... but that only matters if the coaches fill the need to redshirt him... or in case of injury or whatever.

You 2 kiss and make up now.

 

[VolinArizona]

We did.

I apologize, VolinArizona... we've been disagreeing a lot lately. I guess you'll have that on a message board, though. Peace. eace2:

I was about to get out the naughty chair for a timeout.

I apologize, too. I like discussions like we were having, but I like when they're somewhat civil. I also like facts and stats way too much. I do respect your knowledge more now, to be honest. Good stuff.

I guess with the 3 years eligibility thing, I guess I meant 3 years to play 2, but I was nowhere near smart enough to say it that way.

 

[volmanjr]

So we've decided on 2 yrs on the field right? 1 yr to redshirt if needed. (answered my own question)

 

[tclowers23]

I gotcha.

IMO, I don't think either McKenzie or Willingham will redshirt. Hopefully they can contribute right away, because we all know that UT's secondary will need the help!

 

[tclowers23]

So we've decided on 2 yrs right?

Yeah, 2 years to leave it all out on the field.

I am hoping Karl to graduate like I was hoping Antwan Steward Both have nothing but exp.

A couple posters on here definately underestimate Ryan Karl. I am not "waiting on him to graduate" because he is a very good LB. He does not have some of the physical attributes of Chris Donald. But, he has great speed, tackles very well, plays hard non-stop, and is very intelligent about assignments.
