So other than showing effort, there isn't anything the coaches are really going to know about them qualifying until after NSD. So it will be interesting to see how they are handled. I've said this on here a few times. They don't have to sign LOI's in order to get scholarships. I wonder if we don't sign others and then if/when they qualify we deal with getting them in school and onto scholarship at that point in the summer. Especially with expected transfers post spring supposedly opening up a few scholarships. Edited January 23, 2018 by seaofred92 1 Quote Link to comment

If Smith/Masry haven't qualified yet we can wait and add them after the spring transfers (which will happen). Quote Link to comment

How transparent can their teachers be with the coaching staff or if they can at all? Quote Link to comment

I'm sure they can tell them current grades, but they'll only be 1 month into the semester by NSD so not sure it'd help much. Quote Link to comment

Actually, FERPA would not let them disclose current grades unless the student's guardian allowed it. I'm sure the high school coaches could get that info and share it secretly, but it is illegal. Plus, as you stated, the grade in early February has very little bearing on earning credits. At this point, I would guess they are waiting on ACT results and minimum scores. His 7 cores are in already (have to have them before beginning of senior year). He must have not had a high enough GPA to qualify with those, so they needed to load his schedule both semesters to qualify. If you are this far in and not qualified, chances are you won't.

Warrior10 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 247 Miami writer was asked by the Neb boys to provide a breakdown on our Florida commits as he's seen them all in person. Athlete. Could play DB or WR. Better in coverage than in the box. Good ball skills. 1 Quote Link to comment
