Football players practice pretty frequently. As long as he meets the eligibility requirements and is enrolled, he is eligible to play.
I don't visit this particular forum that often and wasn't aware of this thread. Here now though.
Yeah I mentioned that in the other thread. They liked Neal Barker and I bet Austin would still be there if Barker was.
Funny the only place reporting the calusa - conrad - wiley love triangle is auburn undercover(up)
Did you actually provide a link to google? Please
I told PitMaster to start this thread so we didn't have a petty back and forth in the other thread.
Teams are going to have an open spot for it. I'm not sure how likely it's going to grow.
This is kind of how I'm thinking as well. However, it seems that there are often scholarships left open or maybe filled by a walk-on so some coaches may put this process in when they think it will give them an edge in recruiting a player. Still, a lot of things have to fall into place to make it fit.
I am going to disagree here. I think folks in places like Lexington, Durham, Chapel Hill, Lawrence, etc - the places most used to dealing with 1 and 2 and done type guys - are racing around to see how they can do this. I think heads are spinning with the question "Why did we never think of this?"
They're aware of it, the kind of kids they recruit - even Cal at UK - just don't need such academic musical chair flimflammery to get into school. Or if they did, K or Self or maybe even Cal would simply say "Sorry. Next..."
The concept of 1-and-a-half-and-done doesn't have to involve the academic flim-flammery. This could grow if players decide they want to graduate early at their "regular" school and coaches will want to accommodate in order to get them. Coaches could start pushing it as well. An optimistic look at it is that it will be better for the player to get the additional time in college life...I don't think I'm that much of an optimist though.
