Dee Finley, the only top prospect in the state last year that we did not sign, did not qualify academically.
If you recall, Finley lived about five minutes from Jordan-Hare Stadium, but frankly never showed much interest in the Tigers. He committed to Florida fairly early in the process, and ultimately signed with the Gators.
Anyway, it seems that Mr. Finley has come up a couple of core courses short of qualifying to play this season. Right now the plan is for him to spend the Fall semester at Milford Prep in upstate New York and then enroll at Florida this January.
Previously, Finley had said that he had qualified, but that turned out to not be the case.
