Didn't ask the school about his academics till he committed. I would think that would be standard procedure and that it would be done more than once during the process. It seems recruiting is pretty much a waste of time when the kids don't qualify. That being said, the next kid that I recruit and sign will be my first...

Well, hopefully he keeps his butt in the class room doing overtime work. Doesn’t get any easier in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,631 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Not knowing a prospect's academic status is inexcusable. With as many people as there are in the athletic dept, somebody should be assigned to check this stuff before it gets as far as offering a scholarship. All kids come in on a three day visit. Why not require that transcripts, etc be brought with them at that time? Do it at an in-home visit before the offer is extended? Good grief!

Maybe one of these days we'll find out who's right. When we had guys we didn't use them.... I find this article funny because once we over with a guy (I know apparently some don't think it's a thing in college for whatever reason) and he breaks down the six other guys will all have viable made up reasons why we can't use them and we'll be talking about stocking upat hb.
