Hopefully Jasper will stay if Liggins does not get eligible. Maybe just wishful thinking though.

I don't see what's so funny, I think he really does...

 

I was laughing at a previous quote that said "Don't he have a learning disability." Poor grammar brought about a laugh. Apologies.

Wow, calmed down with the name calling, the NCAA academic criteria is not a cake walk.

 

Yes, it is a cake walk...

It should be a bit of a cake walk, but I'm not in the kids position.

 

There is supposed to be some good high school competition in the Durham, NC area, but I really dont know. We may need the kid though if Jasper leaves and Liggins cant get eligible and he can actually play.

What does he need to improve to get into uk? His ACT or SAT? Or his grades in general?

His GPA is low, and there isn't anything he can do to change that number. On the sliding scale, he's fighting uphill.

 

At this stage a qualifying score could very well raise questions.

 

Liggins is a good kid, but he has always been a risk to qualify. Right now I'd put it at 20/80 he is at UK for 08/09...

To call the kid an "idiot" or stupid or any of that stuff is pretty uncalled for. Do you guys know his situation? I don't. There maybe reasons we just don't understand or know about what has caused his troubles. He may have done very poorly when he was a freshman and sophomore and been trying his best to make up ground since then. Whatever the case is, hes a high school kid who should not be called an idiot.

I don't know what you have to make to get in to UK now but I do know things have changed over the last few years to make it harder.I would say they can't lower the scores for athletes and not other students.

So if GT is right and he needs a 21 to make it, he's sitting on a 2.05 GPA.

 

For the record, my opinion is that a 21 is still not an ungodly hurdle to cross for a kid that has basically a straight C average... I could have taken the test for him when I was 12 and he'd be headed to Lexington.

THanks, but no thanks. They already tried that with Eric Manuel, and that didn't work out too well.

Well, also not likely that any kid I would take a test for is a Wildcat lean but if he were...:fire:

But on my serious point, what do you think?

Even a big old dummy like me scored better than a 21, so I'd have to agree with you.
