So a corner whose waiting for his felony charges to be dropped and an unstable diva tight end are gonna put UGA over the top this year. Would love to be a fly on the wall in that locker room.

How's he going to play at Georgia this year? He can't even with grades. He'd have to sit out a year unless Georgia knows something about impending rule changes or something.

He will pull a Justin Fields excuse and cry racism at LSU to get immediate eligibility at the school that Fields cried was racist.

He wanted to transfer to UF. His grades were shite and UF couldn’t take him. Hence him going back to LSU to try to walk it back. LSU helped him and guided him how to get back. He has 6 credit hours to complete and he’s good.

I assume once he got that initial chunk out of the way he was thinking hmm I can go somewhere else if I want since my GPA isn’t a 1.0 anymore.


What do you think LSU did to his grades?

He came to talk to LSU because he couldn't transfer, the semester was half over at that point, what did they do enroll him classes 2 months after they started?

His was not eligible to transfer, not sure what LSU could do to make that happen at that point in April. In January sure, meaning he would have had to be enrolled at LSU in the Spring/Summer with the hope of getting the grades to be eligible for Fall.

Most likely he spoiled his chances of playing other than Juco when he left in January.

I mean I’m telling you what had been said. You know something we all don’t? LSU gave him a roadmap to get back here that included coursework. It’s a lot easier to work within the university where you were than get someone else to accept you.

I don’t know the particulars of what was done but I’m very sure we were as helpful as we could be. There are ways to do things grades wise.

If you know something else, please tell us how we are all wrong?

If you have a roadmap but never get in the car (Spring), the roadmap is irrelevant. He came to speak with O in April because Florida gave him the bad news.

There really isn't much to know, he is going to have to go to class and get grades to fix the problem. Most likely 2022 to play major ball, I would say most probably it won't be at LSU as he might have to serve a suspension on top.

The roadmap isn't the same roadmap if he isn't going to LSU.

https://www.athleticscholarships.net/college-transfer-4-4.htm

quote:

Trying to Transfer While Ineligible In Division I, a student-athlete who transfers while ineligible at his or her original school is not allowed to be given an athletic scholarship at the second school. If you are considering transferring, make sure you know all the academic requirements you have to meet not only to be eligible at your new school, but also at your original school. Your old school should be willing to help, especially in Division I where leaving ineligible will cost the school significant APR points.


Even if he paid his way without a scholarship at UGA, most likely he will have to sit for 2021. Of course, he doesn't look like he would qualify at UGA under their normal transfer rules either.

I'm just saying its getting hard to imagine where he can easily get out of this for this season other than Juco.

LSU has accelerated spring classes that don’t start until mid March and end beginning of May. I feel like the news of him in classes at LSU didn’t come until after that, but he could have very well been allowed to start these classes a couple weeks late due to being a big time athlete . He could have taken the classes he need starting in April and ended in early may and now able to bolt whenever he wants. I hope this isn’t what happened but could definitely see it.

So, he is going to pay his way for an accelerated schedule and summer at LSU at an out of state price?

How many hours can one complete in the accelerated schedule?
