Randall to Iowa Western CC

[Fenway]

UPDATE: Turns out Jerrard Randall signed a letter of intent with Iowa Western CC on Wednesday, which suggests that he will go that route rather than the prep school route if he does not attain his needed test score.

This is less full of doom and gloom then your other one you just deleted but we've known this for a while now that he would most likely be heading to a CC because we've known he wasn't going to be academically eligible for UO

Means we won't see him again or Chip is stashing him there to get him later.

Do people really commit to community college?

[mrpd21]

I wonder if he was docked 200 points automatically on his SATs for his tat on his throat?

For the record, that's where Jared Ebert came from.

Assuming that Randall passes his SAT, he would become an automatic qualifier... He could RS or play 1 season at JC, then transfer to theschool of his choice, with 4 seasons to play 3/4.

This could actually work well for the Oregon, since Randall has already said he is still All Duck.

I would rather see him go the prep school route, as at the right program, it is as good or better experience than some JCs (Hargrave comes to mind), but finances may not allow that.

The added benefit of prep is the fact that the NCAA treats it as extended HS time, so there is no loss of eligibility.

that really sucks he wasn't able to qualify.

and manziel switched over to texas am... would have loved to see him in a duck uniform.

i saw mariota's senior highlights recently, however, and he looks like a great fit for our offense.

so if we get a good qb next year all will be right with the world

fwiw, tonyd tweeted that we will have 14 schollies next year plus attrition, which i think you can assume includes at least two guys leaving early and at least two guys transferring/not qualifying academically, so that would put us at 18 for the year.

we'll need a qb, plus a couple of DTs and DEs, couple LBs, an OL or two, a TE, a DB or two, that puts us at 12 so we'd have six spots for everything else. not bad!

I'm surprised he didn't look into a prep school, but finances and time constraints probably played a big role. If he passes his SAT but still goes to JC, he's probably going to be the QB that Chip brings in next season.

I have a feeling that a majority of 1 year post high school guys at hargrave magically qualified for scholarships there

[squintsdd]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Randall already retook his SAT's and didn't pass, giving him just 2 years left once he's done was CC. From what I understand, he told Tony D on Signing Day that he was retaking the test next week, but the next available test isn't actually until March. This just tells me that he was to embarassed to say that he didn't qualify, and didn't want to talk about it.

[Hoagduck]

He could still end up at UO in the end. Hope everything works out for the kid.

I will almost never judge people by their body art, unless it directly says something like "I'm gonna kill you", then maybe I take offense.
