Would have signed (flipped) early at LSU but he doesn't have a committable offer i.e. grades, see how things stand in a few weeks.

This annoys me because I know that if it’s admissions that’s the stumbling block, you know Auburn will always be able to get a player in.

Heard he can't get in Bama as well. Scored like a 12 or something on ACT. That's what @UncontrollaVOL'sBIL said (just realized BIL created an account and decided to join in). 😂😂

LSU fans are still wondering how Eddie Lacy (Alabama) ever qualified, and you can add Pooka to the list as well. If you told me Pooka tested out at a 4th grade level, I would probably believe that. (Funny and sad at the same time.) We'll see how it pans out on the Pickens front, nothing is a given on this one.... if I were to guess probably won't be at LSU.

I suspect its going to be a juggernaut for a while. Its more about the system now.

I have always heard that maintaining championship status is less satisfying than the climb to get there.

I keep hoping Nick Saban feels this way and eventually moves onto bigger challenges.. like the NFL, or retirement. ☺️

They got him in by classifying him as "learning disabled." I think it was Dan Brooks that discovered the loophole.

This is correct, Travis Henry was able to take the ACT/SAT by having someone read him the questions verbally and he answered verbally due to him being classified "Learning Disabled". He passed. None of the Florida schools could believe it when UT was able to get him qualified.

Fulmer got Travis Henry in and that dude legitimately could barely read or write. And I know this for a fact.

Ut was in thick with lacy and then they decided it was not possible for him to get into UT. If that's true about Henry imagine what the Lacy situation was like.

I don't have 1st hand knowledge of this. It was publicly told by a couple media members (don't recall who) when Henry was still in school or shortly after Henry left school. I had no idea of this rule either. They also said the Florida schools gave up on him due to his academics and UT coaches never gave up on him and found the LD loophole so he could take the SAT verbally.

Gotcha. Glad we got him, but that's crazy.

IIRC Lacy was going to commit to UT right up until he announced. Even his mother was surprised when he announced Bama.
