First Kevin Grooms who is a flat out baller, now this.

i know this ******* kills me. Grooms is going to be a stud.

what did Grooms do this year?? Didnt catch any of his games...

This might be just the kid for Al to make a stand against admissions with. As long as we're graduating kids at a 90%+ clip, the head football coach should be allowed a bit of leeway on a couple of marginal kids per season. If I'm Al, this is the point I'm making. That 22 ACT suggests he can make it at UM.

It is a clearinghouse issue not a UM issue right now.

He didnt play... Sat out. I think he was on some kind of probationary admission. Really should have just prepped a year.

Certainly not what's being reported right now.

From the article: Leggett, who has a 2.4 GPA and recently scored a 22 on his ACT, might have all the grades and necessary paperwork to get past the NCAA Clearinghouse next year. But UM's academic admissions department? That appears to be an entirely different issue according to South Miami coach Lamont Green.

 

[String911]

22 is pretty week

It's slightly above average, especially for an athlete. And, uh, the word you're looking for is weak.

Williams recommended that Leggett could attend a prep school to help his academic standing. However, Leggett stated that he doesn't want to go the prep school route citing family reasons..

I find this to be the most concerning comment. It comes off like this kid is thinking he's an automatic draft pick in the 2016 draft (3 years of college).

That's just it, if your on the 3 plan, go prep and set the world on fire for 2 seasons and leave early. Kid just doesn't seem to be getting very good advice. It's a shame, hopefully for his sake he doesn't fall into the category of kids that we are happy we missed out on.

Already with the clearinghouse, or does UM just see it becoming an issue in the summer and is trying to get out ahead of things?

That's how I read it, too. Bet this kid ends up playing D1 next year and we're left ****ed off at the UM admissions department again. West Virginia, Louisville, Marshall, etc. could probably get this kid in with no problem.

You have to ask yourself about a guy that went to 4 different high schools and expects to get paid after 2 years.

I understand your point, but were also not applying to be doctors here.

And he had an amazing season for South Miami on and off that field. He was a huge part in turning South Miami from a joke into a 2nd round playoff team

 

[tokengator]

It's too bad that Miami can't make this happen. This is why we'll have a hard time getting back. We're a program now that loves drama.

it likely isn't a miami issue..it is a clearinghouse issue

Bro, you can't do that. If he goes prep, he still has to be in college for 3 years before he can leave. Now he can go JUCO for a year and then transfer, go to Miami for 2 years and leave, but if he goes prep he has to be in college for 3 years before he can leave early.

 

[tokengator]

juco = 2 years

Not true.

Clock isn't determined by collegiate years. Simply three years removed from 18th birthday.

He could go prep, play at Miami for two seasons...and leave.

Dion Lewis did it at Pitt last season. Left after two seasons after spending a year at Blair Academy.

that entire Grooms situation was ****ed up, the kid really wanted to be here and he would've balled

I don't think that's accurate either, I think it's three years post high school. So, prep, Juco, whatever... It's three years after you graduate HS

 

[Larry]

"NFL rule requires a player to either be out of high school for three
years or have finished three college football seasons before joining the
league."

So, age of 18 may not be overly accurate, but he doesn't have to attend college...the clock starts after you graduate high school...

Then he shouldn't be playing for any D-1 school next year if that is the case.

 

[umhurricane2511]

this REALLY sucks

 

[Tano]

It's crap if you ask me. Kid has the grades and the test score. Bunch of red tape crap. Let the **** kid into school.
