There are, however, several objective indicators that virtually all admissions departments utilize to determine suitability of a prospective student. While the indicators tend to be standardized, the manner in which they are viewed varies by school. Unfortunately, at some schools, the athletic department is allowed to interfere in the admissions process. Often this works out - no harm no foul; but when it doesn't, it typically leads to a tragic situation.
I am not saying this happened in this case; just somewhat disturbed at the cavalier attitude of posters who act like they hope it did. | |

| Reports are this guy is out of shape and needs to do a lot of work if he's going to play this year. But the early take is that he has the skill set and frame to be a big help. Per VQ. Not a surprise. | |

This fan base needs to stop expecting true freshmen to make a big impact. It's rare. There is nothing wrong with the report. He'll eventually get in shape. I'm just glad we got him and hope he can keep his head on straight in school (keep his grades up). | |

| the pic posted on 247 looks like he is carrying a lot of bad weight. On the other hand, Trent Taylor looks like he has lived in the weight room this summer. Hope he gets in the mix this season. | |

Hope he gets in the mix this season. | The good news is that a guy that size can drop bad weight pretty quickly, especially in a fall camp setting. I'm betting he's 15lbs+ lighter by Aug 31st. | |
