au_bsci_04 407 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Guy is all over the place, sounds like he is set on playing wherever his brother can get enrolled. His confidence is great and needed as a DB, but he is boarder line arrogant. "I am the hype!" Really, did he say that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMan70 3,277 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Does anybody have an update on whether as of today, we have or are getting close to offering MacKensie Alexander's brother, MacKenro ? It's a 2-fer more than likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenesChin 9 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Heard grades is a significant factor with Mackenro's recruitment but who knows. He is a legit prospect and returned like 6 of his 7 interceptions to the house.Just overshadowed by his brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucpe 0 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Somebody tweeted Alexander twins to Clemson. Can anyone confirm? Not committed. Mackenro does not have a Clemson offer yet. But Clemson as already shown us that they aren't afraid to offer a kid just to get someone they want more. Maybe after getting burned by Nkemdiche, they'll think twice about it, though.

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Funny thing about the overshadowed brother... Ole Miss offered Denzel Nkemdiche hoping to would help land Robert. Denzel turned out to be the best player on the defensive side of the ball for them this year. Not saying it always works like that, but sometimes, the overshadowed one turns out to be a player as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCBAuburnaFan 1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It doesn't sound like we'll get him without trying to get his brother as well, and i haven't heard any interest in his brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenesChin 9 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Rumors are that we are evaluating Mckenro and a huge limitation is his ability to get academics in order and get to school. With new signing rules, nonqualifiers still count which would kill us in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With new signing rules, nonqualifiers still count which would kill us in the long run If true, that is good to hear and a move in the right direction. Then, because of the reason you describe, if he and his brother aren't able to play together with anybody right now he will know we at least tried to get his brother.

GenesChin 9 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think Mckenro is a really solid prospect. If Ole Miss could get Denzel Nkemdiche in school I don't see how AU couldn't get Mckenro if we start fixing our admissions process for football players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ole Miss could get Denzel Nkemdiche in school I don't see how AU couldn't get Mckenro if we start fixing our admissions process for football players Hoping this is yellow font. Taking academically challenged kids just has too many risks now, and AU does not reside within tuscaloosa borders. If McKenro can play then I would love to have the brothers, but we will find another way without them if it is better for the team. I would like to see our graduation rate improve.

Mikey 16,598 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think Mckenro is a really solid prospect. If Ole Miss could get Denzel Nkemdiche in school I don't see how AU couldn't get Mckenro if we start fixing our admissions process for football players All that's necessary to do that is get a new University President whose ideas about sports are different from the ideas of our last five or six presidents. Until then, admissions policies for athletes aren't likely to change. The Hooks kid is a prime example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s is a crutch to these kids who won`t do what is required to live this dream. Looks like his brother did what was required; why couldn`t or wouldn`t he. And more than likely they are one or two and done when they can`t cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,402 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 the admission requirements are not exactly einstein levels. i actually would be worried that kids who could not make the minimum admission standards would have the scholastic discipline to succeed in college and therefore would be a disadvantage to the student athlete in the long run. i.e. failing out as a possible exception ... kinda of a jovon robinson type thing ... if a kid has excelled for his last couple of years of schooling then having a 9th grade suspect english class keep a kid out of college is just stupid. in an ideal world i would like to see some avenue of documented exceptions for kids like this. but they really need to be well above average in the recent years to make up for the substandard work of the past.

im4au 44 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 My degrees are much more important to me than winning football games. I wouldn't support lowering entrance standards for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
