I know Harris and Fournette were in my friends public speaking class but they dropped after the first day this semester.

How does his star power affect the classroom?


When I was in school (decades ago), I had several classes with the starting quarterback. He was a smart guy who did well his freshman year (before he became the starter). When he became the starter and also a star, he still managed to go to class regularly--though I don't know how well he did. He drew attention from girls who liked to sit near him, but it did not disrupt the class one bit. I don't know why anyone would think the professor would act differently because he had a football player in the class.

That gorilla must have shown up in the 2nd half, because the stadium is pretty empty.

have a class with him. His major is Sports Admin. Honestly, everyone treats him as just another student, and that's probably how he wants to be treated. He's a cool dude, always comes to class and pays attention. This particular class has a lot of football players in it, and they generally all go to class. Leonard doesn't do much talking, just lets his actions on the field speak for themselves and handles his business as any other student.





It been a minute, but that was my experience with classes with "stars".

You can tell the people that actually went to college and those that didnt in this thread

No, but I do know a Professor that has him in his class. He said he attends class and is a very good/bright student.

Gameday asked him what his daily life has been like since being at the top of the Heisman race and all he said was he takes A LOT of picture in a single day.

That's what Les pays the professor to tell compliance...

I know you're just joking but that's not how Fournette rolls. He supposedly takes school very seriously.

Had a class with Tyrann when he was a freshman, a blow off sociology class. He would sit in the back with head phones on when he did show up. The instructor would call a few names out at the end as an attendance check and he happened to be there once. He was supposed to recite one fact from class. He had no idea, someone had to whisper it to him.

I'd imagine Leonard is a bit more attentive.

My wife had a class with Raion Hill back in 1997. She liked him and said he was smart and funny. He showed up most of the time. Of course, anyone who knows what happened with Raion Hill in 1997 knows that this is almost the same.

That's funny. My son is a freshman. He told me he saw LF this week at McDonalds.

My freshman year at Ole Miss our good friend sat next to Patrick Willis in some class that had assigned seats.

P-Willie would always asked to borrow his laptop and would never sign out of facebook. My buddy was always too scared to frick with it though

Patrick was the nicest dude ever though.

I had a class with Greg Hardy and he never showed up after the first day I don't think. He also used to get shitfaced at our fraternity house sometimes. Once, in the middle of the winter when it was in the 20's, he drank himself stupid and jumped in our pool (yes we had a pool) with all his clothes and jacket on then proceeded to get angry at everyone who laughed at him.

fricking psycho.

I have a class with him 8:30 on MWF. He's really a funny guy

We had someone from compliance come talk to our class last week, and they were discussing trademarks.

"This is something we're dealing with with one of your fellow classmates at the moment.."

LF started looking around And like another poster said, he's treated like any other student. No one harasses him for pics or autographs. Well at least in class. Might be different walking while walking around.
