BIGREDIOWAN Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Did you ever stop to think that perhaps we stopped recruiting him?? In light of what is going on over at the Travis Lewis thread, I sure hope we didn't stop recruiting him. He had us as his favorite for the majority of the time. Some are saying he won't qualify so if that is the case I understand. But why would he then go to Baylor...isn't that a pretty tough school to qualify? I am asking because I don't know but I always thought Baylor was very tough academically. I'm almost positive Baylor is a pretty good academic school?! Quote Link to comment

If you have grades to get into any NCAA institution then you can get into Baylor if they want you to. Each school sets their own admission requirements above and beyond what NCAA mandates the kicker is every school can make an exception to their admission requirements (within NCAA standards) for an excepional talent (if you were the greatest math mind in the history of the world but you didn't have the grade in english that Baylor says you need are they going to turn you away? No because you will bring notoriety to that school which means more money). The talent can be anything that the school wants it to be. Great musician, bandmarcherguy, nudebodychick, and yes football player. Not every school does it (Harvard, I believe, does not give any athletic scholly's out so they aren't inclined to make any exceptions), but every school can. Quote Link to comment

I have heard coach altman complain about this numerous times... Quote Link to comment

Eric the Red Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 AGain just a rumor, but thats what the internet is for, so.. Earl Patin is also rumored to be rethnking his decision to attend Baylor in favor of NU. Quote Link to comment
Washusker Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Well, although I loved Lewis, it appears we've got options. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 If we could get Patin in here and qualified, then that would ease the loss of Lewis, in my eyes anyways. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 We are getting some options opening up here for some great players so lets just get tomorrow here already so I can stop running around the house!!!! Quote Link to comment
huskerfan17 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 wait i thought he just commited to baylor? now hes looking at nebraska again? Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 wait i thought he just commited to baylor? now hes looking at nebraska again? makes more sense than guys who are commited to a school almost all season than on the final day switch schools.... With Travis Lewis decommiting he may see a spot for himself here I would take Patin over Lewis just because of size and mentality... Lewis wasnt even a LB is highschool Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Patin has been on my wish list all year long. Lewis is a big loss, but Patin would ease the pain. Quote Link to comment
born red Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 he would still have to go JUCO for two years right? What's the probability that he doesn't go JUCO? If he does go JUCO does this mean we can sign him and another guy...say J. Love for example? Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 AGain just a rumor, but thats what the internet is for, so.. Earl Patin is also rumored to be rethnking his decision to attend Baylor in favor of NU. Rivals has him as signing LOI with Baylor. Quote Link to comment
