Greg Gilmore's Faux Pas

During his commitment announcement, he mentioned to the announcer that his mother wanted him to go to Florida and his dad wanted LSU. His mom wanted Florida because of the academics. He asked the announcer if knew that LSU was not nationally accredited. What is that all about? That statement could hurt recruitment.

You're going to have to quote him for anyone to make sense of it.

I'm wondering if someone told him that Florida was AAU and LSU isn't (which is correct). Maybe he didn't know what that meant, and just assumed some sort of accreditation.

Not sure. Maybe he meant that Florida is an AAU member ( Association of American Universities). It's not a big deal because only 4 SEC schools are members - Vandy, Mizzou, aTm, and Florida. I admit that it is prestigious; however, it does not mean that a university is unaccredited or mediocre.

I somehow doubt that after nearly 150 years anyone is going to question that LSU is not a genuine nationally accredited university. Especially based on a statement from a high school recruit.

At least we know what Florida is saying about us during visits.
We can speak about our acreditations early and often so it never gets into a kids mind again. There are 4-5 acreditation boards, you only need one of them. Why go thru the trouble of having multiple?

I'm sure they have general studies or sports management at every university.

No doubt UF is a better school. But, in the end, it's about where you feel the most comfortable. I'm glad he picked us. Hopefully his commitment sticks.

I taught at LSU and the University of Maryland. As far accreditation is concerned, there is not a difference between the 2 schools. In fact LSU is in top 5 in fields like Petroleum Engineering. I don't know what he was talking about but schools like LSU are way beyond most football players need academically.

I think he was talking about Education specifically. Maybe I didn't hear that right.

Sounds like the fans won him over last weekend.
In my own opinion where you get your degree from is only important for your first couple of jobs. After you produce it doesn't matter where you get your degree from.
I have hired many people in my career. I look at production and not the schools that the person got their diploma from. Idiots graduate from Florida all the time.
Great pickup by the Tigers!
