ellitor 33,114 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Is Auburn still pursuing him? We started pursueing him again after the new staff was hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Does this mean that he can get into Auburn even if he does not meet the school's academic requirements and practice with team like a red shirt or something? How can that be? The normal entrance requirements for a non-athlete are much higher than we sometimes allow in order to get a desired athlete. Seems that if he can't meet SEC or NCAA minimums to play as a freshman, he could not get into AU at all. Am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is talk above about him not being able to "qualify" to play this season yet he could be in school and practice with the team but not be on scholarship. Tiger mentions Prop 48....is the "academic red shirt" plan a new version of that old scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously in school and taking classes. Eligible to study and work towards a degree but not sure if he can play ball. All this stuff is odd to me.

Mikey 16,723 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 If he can practice but not play I would be fine with that. I'm not nearly as fine with that as I would be with signing a full qualifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELP Purifoy is still waiting on the NCAA to bless his test scores as I understand it....so technically when he got his scholly he met AU's standards but the NCAA later raised some questions. The David situation does not sound the same to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, if they red light it then Purifoy would be retroactively ineligible this season by the NCAA. That's why AU has been so cautious w/ him.

Maybe it's supposed to be private...but the coaches MUST find out whether a prospect can be accepted at AU. GPA, SAT, etc...I don't really care whether the guy is flunking algebra or whatever. BUT....there is no point in learning about academic issues 3 months after signing day like we used to back in Tubs day when every year some top recruits failed to show up at AU.
