fwiw, these kids aren't "in" until first day of class rolls around. Seen too many kids in the past that have been "in", only to not have really made it in.

when he said "tap" he meant he was bout to get some booty...belive it

thats what i was thinking

 

[razrcane]

Jesus its going to be nice to start to have some balance in the roster. Of course we'll need 2 more classes to be closer to where we need to be, but ****, this class should make a huge diff.

...amazing how jacked up our roster has been in the past

Classes for the second summer session at UM began today, June 27.

I can only think of one concrete instance where a UM kid actually arrives on campus, gets his housing assignment, starts offseason drills and workouts with the other kids, and then is told that he can't play - Antonio Reynolds, DE from Ohio, back in the early 2000's under Coker. Maybe Grooms as well, although i cant recall the specifics of his situation.

Anyone have any other examples? Devin Hester?

Antonio Reynolds. He's gone the furthest in recent memory. But, there's been a slew of guys that were told late in August by the Clearinghouse - No dice.

Why? I did not think someone could be enrolled and taking classes until all the admission details had been confirmed. I had guessed that in the case of the athletes, the course fees and the money for the textbooks would have already been paid out of the money for the scholarship, so that these kids are already being funded. Why would the fall session be any more indicative than one of the summer ones?

Antonio Reynolds actually practiced a couple times before getting yanked.

Well twitter fam. On my way 2 tha 305. Refuse 2 be part of #TeamNoSLEEP but my pod is where its at rite now. Finna try and tap. Gudnite fam.

Da fuq he say????? Translation, please?

"Hello and good evening family of the internet variety. I am presently en route to the major metropolitan area of greater Miami/Dade county, a fruitful journey towards which I have exuberantly been looking forward for near a fortnight. It would be foolhardy a decision of any a gentleman in such a precarious situation as mine to forego my first evening's sleep in an effort to maintain social relations with those of you identifying ones selves a part of the league of extraordinarily nocturnal gentleman. Thankfully, I have the whims of an electronic siren to gently rap upon my ear drums as I fancifully lay my head to rest. I will try and do such so that my activities in the morning will be robust. Goodnight my ******."

I minored in ebonics.

Hilarious!

I gave up trying to understand this stuff years ago. I don't know the answer. All I know is that guys in the past have been given email addresses at the school, the whole nine yards, etc., and then yanked close to the start of the season.

True story, dude wanted to "tap" some ***, and fall out afterwards, because he had a big day the next morning.

Reynold's case seems to be similar to lots of others. He arrived in late July or else in August, began practicing with the team, but was rejected by the clearing house and never allowed to enroll or take classes. Just like Grooms and so many others. I did not think the matter of whether one practiced or not to was relevant. But it does not speak to the question of whether or not someone could enroll and start taking classes until all the admissions and eligibility questions had been definitively settled.
