Hoza Scott doesn't make the grades

How does a kid bail after just one day?

He finally met J.J. Eckert?

I asked about this ... the shorter road was to go GED than to make up all the time missed ... disenroll from HS take the GED enroll in JUCO..
All of this said, the kid must still prioritize his lifestyle to one of class and football first or he will find himself back on the mean streets of Houston in a hurry!

He needed to get his GED and spend at least a semester in JUCO. At that point he could have enrolled at aggy, taken the Manziel approach and max out on on-line classes, major in Agricultural Leadership and been in great shape to be eligible. It's not as if there aren't options for kids who want to play football but don't want anything to do with the academic side of the equation.

You can't just spend one semester at a JUCO and transfer in. As a non-qualifier he would have to graduate with an associate's or attend three semesters satisfying all English and math credits and having all of those credits transferable to whatever college he would attend. You continue to say our school is lenient academically towards recruits, but yet we have turned down many kids throughout the years who can't get in through normal means, especially JUCOs who met minimum NCAA requirements but not school requirements. If "aggy" was so desperate to win and Sumlin wanted a recruiting pitch (as you say) why wouldn't the university plant people to take the ACT/SAT for Derrick Griffin or waive the school requirements for JUCO transfer for a guy like LaMarc Strahan or Logan David?

fairly positive that the academic requirements are the same between UT and A&M for any student athlete.

I think this is right also. Further agree with the Aggie post that you have to do more the just one semester at JC. I'm pretty sure what he posted is correct.
