Mikey 16,545 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I've seen this done before, but it's been a while. It's not the end of the world but I don't see it as something to rejoice about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredst 9,064 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Man, I didn’t know that he was a potential non-qualifier risk. Hope he can make it to AU this summer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something a lot of players do as a fallback if anything happens with their grades. It does not mean he expects to go to JUCO or will not be at Auburn. Probably just means he has a class or two that he's got to stay on top of to maintain his GPA. Whew. Hit those books, young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With due respect gentlemen signing an NLI & enrolling are not the same thing. Enrolling is actually starting classes at a school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I hope he gets his grades where they need to be. We really need him no doubt. Does anyone know to what degree his grades are? I guess we will not know till later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrolling is actually starting classes at a school. It really isn’t that different. You generally don’t have to put money down the day you enroll. You just reserve a spot so to speak. If you get your grades and can go to AU you just cancel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get your grades and can go to AU you just cancel it. @TitanTiger For NCAA purposes as outlined thoroughly on the OP in the pinnedUnderstanding Yearly Signee & Initial Counter Rulesthread. It is clearly different. NCAA has 2 different sets of yearly 25 limits. 1 for signees & 1 for enrollees. The enrollees limit is the one that matters more as that's when a prospective student becomes an Initial Counter because he has received his first financial assistance from a school. What being a signee does is reserve the right to be an enrollee/Initial Counter should qualify based upon the school's & NCAA Clearing house's enrollment standards as you stated. A signee has not received any financial assistance from the school yet & therefore is not an enrolled student. 2 hours ago, TitanTiger said: You generally don’t have to put money down the day you enroll. True but you still aren't enrolled by NCAA rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say that AU has been in touch with his guidance counselor and has laid out a plan to get him qualified if he is boarder line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 If I am wrong, I stand corrected. Gus & staff have done a pretty good job in the past of having classes where nearly, if not all signees, make the academic grades & test scores to qualify. Like I say, if I am wrong I do not mind being corrected! WDE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
