Why does it matter when these kids take certain classes as long as they take them?

I agree with this. I don't even understand why this is a big issue.

Probably has something to do with failing multiple core courses in their first few years of high school and then magically passing all of them their senior year on top of the normal course load to become eligible.
There was a certain recruit a few years ago that signed elsewhere who wasn't even classifed as a senior entering his last football season....but somehow made up all the ground he had missed over the course of that year and the following Summer, and managed to raise his gpa to the required level in the process.
The NCAA doesn't have any jurisdiction over high schools and how grades are determined, but it is pretty clear what is going on in some situations. I think it's just their attempt to curb the more egregious cases.
