With Ekrpe Olomu How Many Spots left

maybe we don't have all the info?

Maybe you are right. Just following this thread makes me think that the only position that we stopped recruiting is CB, hence telling McClure that there is no room for him. I don't think that we are out of it for Walls at this point but I don't know anything. I just can't fathom the coaches turning him down. If we do, oh well. We are pretty well set at Safety.

[Boom]

"I'd be absolutely shocked if the coaches turned down Walls and especially Lee, while having no problem taking a guy who hasn't played for 2 years because of injuries (Garrick) and a project (Wilson)."

That does seem kind of wierd to me to.


From Scout on Avery Walls
"Walls plans to major in business/entrepreneurship and reports a 3.3 GPA and opted not to disclose his scores on the SAT and ACT, but says he has plans to retake the SAT for sure on Nov. 6. "

GPA looks good but its self reported and he wouldnt disclose his SAT and ACT so possibly it isnt what is being reported and he may not qualify anyway?

well that's pure speculation dude.

but it is a mystery about Garrick and Wilson.

by all accounts, Wilson is a sleeper... so the coaches must like his upside.
but Garrick is on his second knee surgery, already. i mean, that's a big risk. he doesn't have any other offers so i hear, so basically, we're offering a sleeper with no offers coming off two knee surgeries with an uncertain future. and then dissing a guy like Walls.

something doesn't fit there. maybe we don't have all the info?

seems pretty simple

Garrick is a linebacker..... Wilson is a safety.......the comparison stops there.

There's a sliding scale for GPA/test scores. With a 3.3, Walls would have to completely bomb the SAT/ACT to not qualify - pretty unlikely.

Besides, he has offers from Stanford, Vanderbilt, Duke, and Northwestern - I'm sure he's fine academically.

No way in hell we would turn down Lee. Honestly don't think he would end up on defense anyways. I think he would be used on the offensive side of the ball.
