Rivers and Cole

[Uncle Ruckus]

Someone help me understand this. Rivers and Cole are both EEs who transferred from UGA and UM to EMCC. Both signed/committed to state around a month ago but aren't enrolled yet because they haven't been cleared. If they've already been cleared before by their former D1 schools and the NCAA, why the 17 do they have to do it again? They weren't JUCO guys who were ineligible out of HS, they were D1 guys who transferred into JUCO.

Good questions. I'd also like the answer.

Weren't they taking classes that ended not too long ago?

Different eligibility criteria for entering freshmen vs JUCO transfers? I believe freshmen have a sliding scale utilizing their GPA and ACT/SAT results.

Are ACT/SAT results a part of a JUCO eligibility evaluation or is it just GPA/core credits?

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I have no idea. I always thought that as long as they were full time and not failing that it would not matter seeing as they have been cleared before.

It has been mentioned the EMCC testing schedule was a little differ

I'm not exactly sure how that effects things, but obviously it has delayed their enrollment. These are our best JUCO prospects as well in my opinion from the film I watched.

Steve addressed it yesterday. Worst case scenario is that they have to sign in February. Of course, the risk to that is that they can still be recruited during that time by other schools. It's obviously better to get them in here and plugged into spring practice, but it won't be the end of the world (unless Ole Miss flips them).

What is the day or deadline they have to get everything straight?

I don't know the specifics of these situations, but once they are in JUCO they have to make the appropriate progress towards a degree. They can't just pass any random classes.

Any time someone changes colleges there's scrutiny over course names/descriptions and opinions can vary as to what equates to what. I'm sure we have folks here who transferred during school and went through this. These guys are transferring twice, so three schools involved. Then of course the NCAA can complicate anything.

Again, I don't know this case, but just an example of how someone could get hung up despite being full qualifiers out of HS.

I think I read somewhere that the add/drop deadline is Tuesday of next week.

You bring up another question of mine. Can't JUCO EE guys actually sign LOIs in December, while HS EE guys sign financial agreements? I think the answer is yes, and if so, how would they be eligible to be recruited if they have already signed LOIs?

Drop date is Friday, add date is Tuesday
