HoopJunkie Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Aspire did not have a post-graduate team or program this year so this must be a new development for them to add one. As of a few weeks ago, it’s a done deal. Coach in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SECRules Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Do these academies have tuition? Or are they run off sponsors, donations, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentuckyHShoops Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Who is the coach at Aspire? He is getting HORRIBLE advice. According to NCAA Division 1 qualifying rules, you can only retake 1 core course once you've graduated high school. No chance to be a D1 qualifier. Juco is his only option. Completely wasting a year. Prep schools lie like crazy to kids and their families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dognation2 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 With the issues that Jay has had with grades; I have to believe that he and his camp have thought his next move out thoroughly. I certainly hope so. And I wish him the best moving forward, great kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prep schools lie like crazy to kids and their families. Whoa Nellie...had to do that in honor of the late Keith Jackson. There are exceptions to that rule about replacing one grade. If you qualify under certain parameters you can replace three grades. I have no idea Jay's situation and whether he would qualify under the exceptions or if he even needs to replace 3 grades or not. But I do know there are conditions where you can replace 3 grades if you qualify. You also can prep for the ACT test and with the sliding scale a really high score on the test covers a lot of ground with your GPA. You may know his situation better than I do, but he might be able to replace 3 grades and not just 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallhoops Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Could a moderator change the title to this thread to something like Trinity's Jay Scrubb to Aspire Academy - Never Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realreason Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Per twitter....he has decided not to attend Aspire. I just hope he gets it right whatever move they make. I sure hope that he does as well, but going to and fro is defiantly not a good look. Hope the best for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
