re: What's really the point in signing a kid that you know isn't going to qualify?

Well, its just a formal thing now. Sign with us, and we'll walk you through the process. Since they don't count against the numbers unless they make the grades/score, and enroll, its just a nice gesture that you hope gives you some good pub with them, their family, and other recruits that might be their friends...And just maybe fill a spot later, when they qualify out of JUCO...but I get the point..

Good point. One of the local talking head radio guys was saying today that one of the things that sold Sione Teuhema on LSU last year was they were the only school that took the time to walk him through what core courses, grades, etc. he needed.

Not exactly the same thing I'll grant you. But a little effort like that can't hurt with recruits.
