I thought I read somewhere that one of their guys had a 300 point jump in his score and it got flagged. I could be mistaken but I thought I saw that.

Yeah, some douchey guy on their board was saying it was more like 250 points, but still.

AND they were using Gaytor Mathz. So, westlake gaytor was yapping about a score increase from a 600 to a 900 being a "50% increase". But the reality is that the low end of the SAT scale is a 400. That means that the original test score of a 600 is only 200 points above the minimum, and thus a 300 point increase would be a 150% increase in the test score.

So, yeah, they don't really know what they are talking about. As I mentioned several pages back, it is statistically more unrealistic to go from a 600 to a 900 than it is to go from a 1200 to a 1500. Just being honest.

I wouldn't put those 2 WRs on the active roster quite yet. Clearinghouse will still have their say, and as I mentioned before, in the post-Aunt-Becky world, going from a 600 to a 900 on your VERY LAST ATTEMPT without some solid evidence of prep course work is just...ridiculous.

Go back and read that Gaytor thread, one guy is adamant that nobody can invalidate SAT scores without proof of cheating. Sadly, ETS does it ALL THE TIME, just because they believe a score increase is too high and/or unrealistic. When I worked for Princeton Review, that was one of our "bragging" points, that we had numerous students that ETS flagged for SAT score improvements (this was back in the 80s and 90s when ETS didn't have very good monitoring systems, so they just assumed everyone was cheating). Now, ETS makes up a bunch of nonsense that they DON'T invalidate scores based on score improvements, but that is a lie, as it is usually the primary evidence that they cite when people sue them.

Here's just one example of a score being invalidated FROM THE PAST YEAR:

Getting a kid who basically christmas tree'd (600 = 1st percentile) up to a 900 (23rd percentile) where you basically just need to try and be able to get middle school level questions right is much easier than getting a 74th percentile kid up to the 99th percentile which is just past most kids ceilings.

The rest of your point is valid though.

We "only care about potential and high school rankings". Yeah exactly the point guy lol what a dumbass. We look at the whole player in context for potential, attitude, competition, not just star whores. But just wait until we start rolling teams we will get those too. No mercy with these frauds.

Yeah, the kid is clearly reported to be getting a scholarship, and the star-whores try to downgrade him to a preferred walk-on. Brilliant.

I would imagine that when you combine the "in the works since April" and all of the other academic risks that Mullet signed, this kid has been on the "waitlist" for months. Even though the 2 WRs supposedly got their test scores, UF may have better knowledge (than Swamp 247 posters) that one or both test score improvements are being flagged. OR they could have info on Wardrick Wilson being denied a student visa. I would imagine that if this kid was replacing Wilson as an IC, it's a straight 1-for-1 replacement, but if one or both of the WRs fail to quality, then it still counts as a hit against the IC numbers.

Why would the IC treatment be different for WW vs. the two WR's?

Don’t call me a gaytor, but I just had to point out this contradiction. Will not be responding on this thread because I know my fans might derail it.

You just derailed it. There’s no contradiction just your lack of common sense and self-awareness. I clearly saw the gaytor that wants us at 100%. He got drowned out.

CIS is the most rabid, most fanatical Cane message board there is. “Gator Tears” is the most popular, most viewed, most posted thread in CIS history.

Don’t post things in this thread like “I bet on Florida but want Miami to win personally so I win either way” and you won’t catch shît for it. No good Cane finds a celebratory win in a gaytor victory on 8/24.

Your level of fandom is not on the same starting level as the majority of us, which is fine in the real world, not everyone’s a diehard, but don’t come in this thread and post that shît.
