If he can't qualify for an academic redshirt, he was never close. He must have had a path to qualify or UT wouldn't have squandered a spot. Being able to count his 16 best core grades toward a 2.0, with no courses or grades locked-in, is a lot easier. Under the lower requirements, his worst grades don't even have to count.

The difference between a D and an A when figuring GPA for 16 core classes in one single class is roughly .3

I have been guessing he is trying to replace 1 poor grade of the 16. He could easily be sitting right on that 2.0 mark trying like crazy to make an A to get to the 2.3

Still. Have. To. Qualify. I never gloomed on the 2.0 v 2.3 thing. His core classes have been the hangup.

Yes but the point is he probably already qualified for the academic redshirt and is just trying to qualify to play instead now. Otherwise they probably wouldn't already list him on the roster.

Edit: lawless wasn't added to the roster when it came out a month ago but jj was.

All of this discussion seems .to fail to consider that the.NCAA -"ClearingHouse" can throw all of this out in a blink of an eye...OR has that changed?

It's not the clearing house anymore but yeah, that would seem to be what we're waiting on now. NCAA approval. I don't think anybody has failed to consider that though.

I thought that there was a discussion about getting a late course finished and reported.
If that is the case the NCAA has its own schedule. They don't expedite, as they want to discourage these type of cases.and I have no idea what the current title is for the review committee. They change everything constantly so that everybody stays confused.

There was and it still can be done in time. And the coaches expect it.

Sorry, I’m way behind in this thread and just hope someone can clarify something for me.

Does JJ have to be enrolled by the time fall classes start to be eligible to play this season?

no definitely July,
err
super cereal about Fall Camp,
got Edrick Loften feels about him making it in.

Just because you made a timeline doesn't change the fact that the coaches expect him to qualify. Or that even if he isn't available to play this season, he very likely still qualifies for an academic redshirt allowing him to practice with the team this fall while he gets his grades up to qualify for next season. There are stories like Loften where they never make it in, and there are also stories where they do.

By the end of fall add/drop week I would assume.

From my guessing seat I don't think we are waiting on the NCAA. I think we are waiting on him to improve a score enough to then qualify.


If we are waiting on the NCAA I think he woud be practicing now as they have a 10 grade period for that iirc. Especially if he is close enough to be an acedemic RS

A recent similar storyline at UGA...2017/Wyatt. Well known the kid had some core grade issues that could prevent enrollment. As summer concluded, his glide-path took him to JUCO as a JET student to get his Core Grade fixed. He then enrolled for January 1.
With all the background noise that has ben around JJ for over a year now...This looks like his likely trajectory....

Correct, if he has met the criteria, he can practice while awaiting the NCAA decision. If he makes it, NCAA should just be a formality as they have approved just about everyone. Only one I’ve seen turned down was they thought it was tampered manuscript/test scores.

I have thought he would make it all along, but if he is still trying to finish classes it seems like he was either way behind or is struggling to make score. I would have to think if he can't get in by next week even if he does get in it will be much later in the year before he makes much of a impact. If it is only a matter of raising a score I cannot fathom it taking this long. But none of us know what truly is the case here, most like me are just speculating. I am pulling for JJ. GBO!!!!

Silly question here...if a player takes an academic redshirt, does that count as a normal redshirt year? IOW, it would be the same as if he had come in needing to develop in a S&C program etc.

So, after an academic redshift, the only redshirt option remaining would be a medical?

I ain't know spit about no academics.

This is the type of thing that I feel is better left for the coaches to worry about. No sense worrying about it when there are to many unknown variables. Can't solve the equation with so many unknowns.

Yes, I believe it counts as a normal redshirt. It's just a way to help borderline kids qualify.
