Read earlier something about on line classes. Lost a good one.
I know nothing about this situation
but I do know about human nature

when people imply it’s not about the money , 99.9% of the time it’s about the money . I’m pretty sure Miss St is putting more NIL money into his account than we were going to .

I think it had more to do with online course work potentially not being accepted. I can't imagine we'd release someone from a NLI because another school offered money to a signed recruit.

Any recruit we had for OV that hasn’t signed yet. How many open scholarship are still open.

Illinois backed out after some credits issues. There was also some weird issues during the recruiting process as well.
I'm all for trusting the staff here. How many times have we mentioned the splash recruits for Zook that never played a down, dropped out, got in legal trouble, etc.? Lose somebody now and find a replacement that will actually contribute.

How does a student get admitted, enrolled in classes, start classes, and then something gets flagged about admission/eligibility?

If the answer is “he never actually enrolled in classes”, I’m assuming it’s a (small) NCAA violation to introduce him at the basketball game because he never would have signed.

Could he be the next Bailey? Three sport athlete.

I don’t want to set a threshold for any recruit but you can give me a bushel of these very late, no profile page recruits who pop up at the end like this. The hit rate seems really high and there are easy justifications of why they were missed as a national recruit.
