Jerrard Randall

[L Perry]

I guess we will probably never know exactly why, but could the current scandal have any sway in the matter, from Randall's end??

[buckmarkduck]

No, he still wants to come to UO, but UO can't take him it's the simple. He even filed paperwork yesterday with UO and we had to let him know he's not accepted.

[L Perry]

Well that stinks. Someone will snap him up! Selfishly I kinda wish he went the JC route and came back in 2 years, but......

[Oregonian]

I have a hard time believing that the academics at UO are holding them out from signing him... The only thing UO needs to absolutely abide by are the NCAA guidelines and apparently he's meeting them if he's eligible at LSU. Furthermore, Oregon doesn't have that much academic prowess and I know takes a boatload of kids on appeal. UO is not academically rigorous, so it seems odd to me that they'd just toss the kid out for it.

Now if there's something with the coaches, I'll believe it. But considering the times UO has spent in the past waiting for kids to get NCAA clearance for the bare minimum when their grades and test scores are absolutely awful, I don't see that being the full story here.

[L Perry]

I do believe that there is a sliding scale/bell curve that the entire class has to fit in. They may have signees which require him to score higher than he has to meet those requirments. To achieve the mean average.

[greenyellow]

Sucks because it means Oregon only goes into the season with 3 QBs, with them only having 4 if they keep Hawkins as an emergency back-up. Randall not getting in means that getting 2 QBs in 2012 is necessary.

Me to, signed Miles Wade, Anthony Leon and Justin Thompson.

LSU is a joke academically. Even if Randall didn't meet the NCAA minimum standards, LSU can take him as a partial qualifier. Yes, SEC schools can do that (except Vanderbilt).

[vagusnerve]

really really too bad about jerrard.

i wish him all the luck in the future.

too bad he won't be a duck

[briarduck]

Holy smokes this does suck...once his ACT score was in I wasn't even worried about NOT taking him! DAMN IT!

Those guys had to go the JC route.

It appears that may not be the case with Randal

you sure. maybe Chip doesnt want him now?

[buckmarkduck]

He may not, but the Oregonian said yesterday he had submitted papers to UO, but now I here our coaches haven't even had contact with him for 4 weeks. Who knows I guess.


Boom each of those 3 tried to get into UO after JC ball and all 3 where denied, yet each got into another D1 school Memphis, Arkansas and TT.

I'm pretty sure Myles Wade was actually turned away for non academic reasons after JC (performance was no longer up to par?)

not sure about the other 2 though

[woundedknees]

With Wade, the report supposedly was that he had taken some online classes that were no longer acceptable under OUS rules.
