re: Alls we need to know about Pratt...

I wouldn't doubt his HS coach helped OSU out, but I highly doubt the other Fedora got involved. He'd having nothing to gain from it

FWIW his myspace page is still LSU theme. However mood = betrayed. I wonder who he thinks betrayed him??? Is it up to LSU to make sure he was clear or is that on the HS level and was up to his moron coach.

this is my guess of what went down piecing together all the alleged information:

dex was all set to enroll in LSU, ready for some SEC ball, but when to got here, there was a problem getting him through the clearing house. there seems to be a correspondence class in doubt, nd that could be the bubble class it takes to get into the SEC over big12 (the conferences DO NOT have identical requirements-- i believe you need 3 sciences for SEC ball, 2 in the bi12, along with other minor differences im not aware of)

anyways, someone from LSU- a coach probably- dropped the ball and didnt check to make sure this class would be approved by the clearing house. he shows up, theres a problem with his class, hes pissed he graduated early, yet lacks the requirements to get in. hes embarrassed how this all worked out, feels someone else dropped the ball, leaves LSU with his coach.

now, he wants to jump into bed with okie st, probably b/c he doesnt need that extra class and can possibly get in right away. he gets in now, he doesnt have to do more coursework to get into LSU, probably not the exact way he drew it up, but hes rolling with the punches

forgive me if after being committed for over 7 months i dont buy the "not comfortable" excuse. and the distance factor doesnt hold water if hes going to play even further away somewhere else. i think this is an academic situation gone wrong and is easier fixed at okie st, than LSU. good luck, dex

I think it was grades. Do ranters know that The Big 12 conference has lower grade standards than the other BCS confereces? Did everyone see the BCS championship game that 6ft 8in 355 lbs. OT of OKL that committed to LSU,he didn't have the grades and 10 days latter was ENROLLED at OKL?

Then why make the trip at all? If I wanted to play elsewhere i wouldnt have traveled over 500 miles if i knew i wasnt staying..makes no sense.

this is another reason that makes my story more legit. he wouldnt have gone all the way over there, all his shite with him, if he wasnt comfortable and ready to enroll. if it was strictly a comfort thing, he wouldnt be pissed right now. if it was only comfort, he would have picked up the phone and told miles and he was having second thoughts and reopening the recruiting process. hard to imagine that academics arent the leading factor in this entire situation
