AU Counsel 64 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Opposing running backs may learn a new meaning to getting the "ball stripped" when they come through a hole and meet Slap Nuts. I really hope we get him so that nickname sticks... Sounds like the sort of guy you want on Kickoff coverage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Would he be a walk on Certain people that should know are saying that if he scores high enough on the ACT and qualifies he'll be signed and be a part of the '14 class. If he doesn't score high enough he won't qualify at any D-1 school and will have to go the JUCO route. I don't see walk on anywhere in there. He has until May 29 to sign and be a part of this class so he does have some time. Any clue on a timeline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUEngineer2016 407 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 This would make a fantastic story. I hope this kid rallies, makes his grades and becomes a star for Auburn.

tombigbeetiger 223 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think that I read where his core average is a 2.9.....if that is correct, can't he get by with a 17 on his ACT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 He is taking the ACT tomorrow . He only needs a seventeen .. auburn requires more than a 17 I thought. Are you sure your not talking about bammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurbis 572 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 He is taking the ACT tomorrow . He only needs a seventeen .. auburn requires more than a 17 I thought. Are you sure your not talking about bammer I did a little research and found that 17 is the NCAA requirement. A player has to score a total of 68 across all four subjects which is an averge of 17. There is a sliding scale that shows the higher the core GPA is then the lower the required ACT score. He may not necessarily need a 17 per NCAA guidelines but AU may still require a minimum of 17 for scholarship athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusl5 0 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Sorry, if I'm wrong about the ACT score . I did wish him luck on the test on twitter !! WDE ! I would love to see this kid in an Auburn uniform . He is a beast !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout54 55 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 as for nicknames, I LOVE SLAPNUTS! it is hilarious! that said, we could also play with his name he could be LOFI, instead of WIFI. incorporates his name, a play on words with WIFI ,and in a roundabout way infers the SLAPNUTS name as well. I don't know. May be reaching, but I thought it was funny, and maybe a little more family friendly, but would still get a chuckle from those that see the connection. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure as soon as they're available someone on Twitter will relay them. That will be private information. The person taking the test or his parents might make that public but anyone else that does will be breaking the law. I guess our best indicator of his test scores will be if he gets signed to an AU scholarship before the end of May. If we read that he signed with a JUCO, we'll know he didn't test high enough.
