AUISALL1345162868 0 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Kausler has released an article with quotes from Peaches. The spin has begun! The story behind Tide signee Brent Calloway's academic hurdle (link) Don Kausler Jr./Tuscaloosa Bureau, The Birmingham News, Press-Register, and The Huntsville Times 07/09/2011 10:16 AM TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Heralded freshman Brent Calloway is not yet enrolled at Alabama because the one-half high school credit he needed to qualify was rejected by the NCAA. A report today in the TimesDaily of Florence includes many details about the holdup. Peaches Winston, Calloway's guardian, told the newspaper that a computer-based course that the linebacker/running back from Russellville completed in a little more than one week earlier this summer at Tharptown High School was rejected by the NCAA. Russellville High School does not offer summer classes. Calloway originally took the class during the regular school year at Russellville High School. "Somehow the NCAA didn't count one of his classes as half a credit," Winston said told the TimesDaily. "He's taking it, though, and he'll be ready in August. He didn't want to redshirt this year. He wants to play, and (Alabama) wants him ready." Summer school is in session for approximately one month at Tharptown. The NCAA was not satisfied because Calloway completed the class too quickly, according to Winston. "They just told him to take this class, pass it and he'd be eligible," Winston said told the TimesDaily. "They didn't say how long it should take. He passed the class in eight or nine days. He did the reading, took the test and passed it. We got the paperwork saying he made an 'A' on it. But he's doing whatever he has to do to be clear. We don't want anything to come down. We're just trying to make everything clear because we want him on the field." Calloway and wide receiver Duron Carter, a junior college transfer, are the only newcomers who have not yet begun classes at Alabama. Carter signed a grant-in-aid Friday with Alabama and will start classes in August. LOL. He finished it too fast. Hmmm. I too feel sorry for BC. The adults in his life obviously aren't much of an example to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUISALL1345162868 0 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 The adults in BC's life are all bought and paid for. But that is only a small part of what they are. Imagine the other negative "character" traits he has been subjected to virtually his entire life by these people. It will be a lot to overcome. I hope he can do it.

leontiger 1 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Even thought I am not in favor of a transfer to Auburn from BC, the character and leadership the Auburn staff has show in the past is exactly what this young man needs in his life.
