Heath at WR

[Walter White.sixpack]

Some are giddy about him being able to get involved in Moorhead's offense.

Others seem doubtful that Heath even makes it to campus.

What are the road blocks to him getting enrolled this summer and a productive member of the team?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I wouldn’t be getting giddy at this point.

 

[coach66]

Same roadblock that may keep Williams out of Ole Miss I believe. It's hard

to believe JPS refuses to let the State step in and at least try and help a terrible situation.

 

[paindonthurt_]

Unfortunately it’s not hard to believe

They're gonna ride that ship all the way down to the bottom

The giddy are probably in for a disappointment.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

Will be a minor miracle if he makes it Hinds' campus

So we wasted a scholarship on someone who we knew would not qualify? That’s no better than OM wasting one on a DB that they know won’t qualify. I believe the 25 hard cap applies this past signing period

 

[coach66]

I think the problem was only recently discovered from what I was told.

We didn't know till a month after signing day.They tried to scam us to put it bluntly.

Who tried to scam us?

There's only one way "they" scammed our coaching and compliance staff - and that's if the administration/counselors at his school falsified his records. If that is the case, then we need to put pressure on the state Dept of Ed to force the JPS admins to fire some people. At the very least, it's unethical....at worst it's a clear violation of FERPA

Either we didn’t do our due dilegence, or somebody falsified some information somewhere. If it’s the latter, seems we could appeal for that scholly back.

Rumor is there may be some administrative fallout.

It's already in the works.

We don't lose a sholly for situations like this till this upcoming class.

Agreed, if we were purposefully misled and that is proven then we shouldn't be penalized the scholly.

I doubt the NCAA would care how much due diligence we did or didn't do. Not sure how we could "get that scholarship back" anyway. Cap us at 26 scholarships next year? If they did that, they'd be defeating the whole purpose of the hard 25 cap rule.

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

So this is academically related?

You didn’t read my post before responding. I said if it was the latter (fraud) that it “seems” we should have some reason for appeal. And I have no idea how the ncaa would handle it. If I did, I’d probably be an extremely rich individual.

 

[Dawgzilla]

We didn't even sign 25 did we? Maybe I'm missing something.

This is some serious ****, but I don't think we would have signed someone else but for being "scammed" over Heath.

 

[Walter White.sixpack]

Buddy Stephens about to get him a four star?

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I forgot all about heath. Not sure what that means.

 

[patdog]

I read your post. I just don't think it would be a basis for any appeal.

We didn't sign 25 because Moorhead didn't want to have a set number of people who had to be cut after spring. He wanted to see every player in person before deciding who to cut. At least, that was the story, and if it was true, we presumably would have signed another body.

 

[WilCoDawg]

Hasn’t the NCAA already proven their rules serve no purpose?

 

[Dawgzilla]

Even if true, that's a self-imposed limit. The suggestion that we should get a scholarship back for future use doesn't make any sense. This is a serious issue if State was misled, but teams have attrition every year. If we are now a scholarship short its our own fault.

Didn’t callaway’s head coach play for us? Dang, he HAD to have known what was going on. And that the house of cards would crumble eventually. Hard to believe he’d be that dumb. We weren’t the only ones lied to though. Fkorida and LSU were still hard on him. As was OM. All the way to signing day.

We just need to tell them we are actually doing this for Ole Miss and they will let us have it back no problem.

If we can somehow place him in JC and get him back in a year or two, it wouldn't be any different time wise than have had in our Mullenz past in getting him on the field.
