Davis said he had met with Clowney last spring, when he visited one of Clowney’s teammates to pitch him on Hargrave. Davis’s program has taken in many top prospects while they worked to meet qualifying standards.

“A lot of D’s on there,” Davis said of Clowney’s transcript, adding that Clowney had performed particularly poorly in his earlier years at South Pointe. Speaking of students who had enrolled at Hargrave, Davis said “it was pretty common” for a nonqualifier to have a transcript like Clowney’s.

.......

Koon, who taught Clowney’s English class, said Clowney was “an abstract” to most people at the school of roughly 1,400 students, most of whom do not know him personally. Some of Clowney’s teachers, while admiring his athletic ability, wish that he would apply himself in the classroom.

Koon said. “I don’t mean to imply that he doesn’t have a strong mind. But his earlier years, he wasn’t focused on his studies. He’s not much focused on books. He can’t stand reading, and he’ll tell you that.”

No way will Clowney end up at a solid ACC school like Clemson. He's definitely ESSSSS EEEE CCCCCCEEEE bound.

He can't stand reading? Geez thats actually pretty sad. I'm sure he do great at whatever SEC school he chooses though, they'll make sure of it.

Quote from the Hargrave coach:

Troy Davis, the coach at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., said he had reviewed Clowney’s transcript and described it as consistent with those of other prospects who had failed to meet the N.C.A.A.’s standards. In those cases, the prospects needed to enroll in postgraduate programs like the one at Hargrave. The standards are a formula using high school grades and standardized test

“A lot of D’s on there,” Davis said of Clowney’s transcript, adding that Clowney had performed particularly poorly in his earlier years at South Pointe. Speaking of students who had enrolled at Hargrave, Davis said “it was pretty common” for a nonqualifier to have a transcript like Clowney’s.
