confusion on corey smith?!

[UTDreamTeam#22#25]

What is the deal with this guy? one day he is committed, the next open. Is he a VOL or not? and do we really want him with croom, bowles, and possibly Patterson in the mix?!

 

[Berry4Heisman]

He's a Vol, but he's not officially committed and won't be signing with us this year, so he won't affect the numbers. He's in JuCo this year and will be a part of next year's class.

 

[Eastknox865]

I was thinking he was a high school kid headed to juco next season. Am I wrong is he already in juco?

 

[Berry4Heisman]

Yeah, he was in such bad academic standing apparently that he went straight to JuCo instead of trying to fix everything his senior year.

 

[B-HamVOL]

He's already in JUCO. Not sure how this is possible but there have been several to state this in his thread.

 

[Berry4Heisman]

I'm assuming he got his GED...not sure how the process works, but I think it's just a test.

 

[Sabanocchio]

Yeah, he got his GED. He didn't have the credits to graduate I believe is what the problem was and was not going to be allowed to play his senior year. He is on a plan that will help him graduate in December of '12 if all goes well and be part of next year's class and an EE.

How do you still get to play HS ball while failing? No child left behind wurks wundurz.

He can obtain his GED then he must pass 12 college credits to become eligible for athletic participation. We see it in JUCO baseball alot its nothing out of the ordinary

Part of the 2012 class?

 

[MiramarVol]

We're on the '12 class now and he has to graduate JUCO with an AD. That makes him class of '13. He plays this fall and next fall in JUCO, and graduates in Dec of '12. Enrolls in Jan and plays Spring ball.

This is not true... His situation was based off not having any eligibility left to play his senior year. Grades were not the problem...

No I think he was in trouble or something as a freshman in high school, things happened and he didn't get to take classes or something wierd like that.
