My bust. Thanks for setting me straight. RTR!He's a 2017 recruit and is expected to be on campus in January.
That really hurts a JUCO. You want/need them to play immediately,BOL saying Johnson won't enroll in January. Apparently has some academic work to do in order to graduate in the spring.

It means he "ain't coming anymore..." Call it what you want...that's the first time I have ever seen the SEC having stronger admission requirements.Does that really qualify as a decommit when he knows that he doesn't qualify?
Understand what you`re saying. Nevertheless, it`s always been a source of amusement to me that a kid can master the intricacies of a playbook the thickness of a small phone book but can`t make it through a freshman English course, for example. Maybe someone who knows more about education/learning can explain it to me. Not trying to be nasty at all, just have never grasped that whole thing.It means he "ain't coming anymore..."

As far as struggling to make the grade...some of us don't really know how academically challenged these young men can be. I have a son who was "learning disabled" and school was a massive challenge...he graduated, played a D-I level sport, and graduated from college -- but it was never routine or easy. He's doing great in business...but trust me...some brains are wired different from others. Doesn't mean they are dumb, but that they learn differently. All the best to this young man...
I was in advanced freshman comp in the early 1970s in Morgan Hall with a bunch of future doctors and lawyers, and not a one of them could write a coherent sentence. Football is something players love and they can see an immediate value in doing it well. School, in many cases, is something they've never learned to do, either at home or in the classroom. Or, as in the case of Padre's son, their brains simply work in different ways. A friend of mine at UA who literally had troubling reading a book turned his life around when he walked into his first engineering class. Turns out he was a genius in the field.Understand what you`re saying.

Mike Ford comes to mind, several will end up a USF or other schools in that conference because of lower admission requirements. It is a major reason those teams compete well on any given Saturday...that's the first time I have ever seen the SEC having stronger admission requirements.

Gary Johnson had been committed to Alabama. Told that SEC requires math requirement for JUCOs. Big 12 does not.
