WarTim 3,456 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 If he is in playing shape, he will be needed and will crack the lineup for significant playing time. GREAT news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KunzelTiger 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 He has to pass the NCAA clearinghouse first (which he should)...And I can confirm the premium content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubie16 1 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 UPDATE ON GREG SMITH... He did pass the algebra class but there was a mix-up in his transcripts and it turns out he does not have the required courses to graduate... (premium content from rivals, so I can't provide a link or go into much more detail...) Edit: however, this is also being reported on ITAT free board... It also looks as though he could still be here by August...although that is awful close to the season. It will be interesting to see this one play out. It does not look like this was Greg's fault, more like he was told the wrong things about what he needed to do to graduate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgr4lfe 220 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I hope someone gets that cleared up, we need that extra experience and depth on the DL this fall!!! I'll ask CTT about if I see him at church Sunday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKW 86 7,431 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Updated: He needs seven hours to get on campus. He is enrolled and should make them now. NE MS JUCO evidently mis-informed him and almost blew the deal. It is not CERTAIN, but it is likely that he will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUesquire 1 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I absolutely when I hear about screw ups in transcripts, not having the required courses etc. First off, there should NEVER be a mix up with transcripts. What is there to mix up? Who's responsible for this? And, not having the required courses????? WTF? There's a young man who has been signed to a scholarship to attend school and play football. This scholarship is literally worth what...$50K...$100K..more? In one sense, this young man is a very valuable commodity to Auburn University. (Sorry to put it in those terms, but a scholarship is in a very real sense, a business transaction that holds a lot of expense and risk for one side) And NO ONE has been making sure this guy is doing what he needs to do and that his transcripts are in order? Greg Smith may get in and I sure hope he's here and ready to play. But, when I hear of crap like this, and you hear it every year, you have to wonder if there's someone actually assigned to make sure these young men are doing what they need to do and their stuff is in order.
