BIGTUNA 0 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just found out that the CEO at IMG Academy is an Auburn grad. I hear he is a good guy so I am going to try to reach out to him and get his perspective on what is going on down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he says anything more than the other big wigs down there send recruits to FSU I will be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,038 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I wonder how good you have to be to get part or all of that expense waived under a sort of athletic scholarship? Some of the kids that have come out of there couldn't possibly afford those tuition rates. My cousin who signed with Tennessee was offered a scholarship by them. Don't know of it was full or not or if they even do full and partial scholarships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said "high school" program makes a freaking "press release" type statement about it. Smdh I don't see the problem. He wasn't "cut", he was removed from the program for whatever reason. What is wrong with the school making a press release? He is a 5-star QB and therefore it is obviously news. He's not just going to get quietly removed from the team without anyone noticing. Also, IMG Academy is not a regular school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to hear about the great academics at IMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parents have choices: They can home school them; a lot go to a private school in Bradenton or they can be taught on site after training sessions or before training sessions. It is a pretty interesting set up and they have kids from all over the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall when some AU prospects (Liner and another) were rumored to have "problems" and the school and coach did not respond and it just remained to be "rumors" for quite a while...maybe that was just them. Just seems that schools and coaches should keep their mouths shut about stuff....and especially doing a tweet....what's that about? ....but maybe that's the times we live in.

"We have made a decision and Malik Henry will not be returning" is literally all they said. They did not air any negative reason. They did not say anything bad about him. They did not put his character under any sort of scrutiny. Literally all they said was that he would not be returning. Please tell me how they could possibly word his departure in any other "more positive" way. Talk about over-exaggeration. You're acting like their statement read: "Malik Henry is stupid as s*** and failed three classes, therefore we told him to **** off" LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have simply said he wasn't returning without qualifying it by saying "it was their decision".
