BLUEDOVE3 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Posted May 15, 2014 The good news is that you identify those 'one or two" students who are lacking in their academic work. You make sure they get up and attend classes and monitor their academic progress with with "their" advisors. Some schools have their own personal academic advisors who travel with the teams and students have their own personal laptops to complete assignments in hotel, airplane, or whatever. Especially if its only one or two students. Quote

Based on the APR rankings released yesterday, it seems to be more than 1 or 2 athletes. http://web1.ncaa.org/maps/aprRelease.jsp Remember, an APR of 925 is equal to a 50% graduation rate. Lamar was 915. Quote

AshlyHasBeen Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 What you must remember is if a player leaves the program or doesn't finish school it counts against the program. It's not necessarily the guys on the roster making horrible grades. Quote

(1) Coaches ask players to leave (transfer) from their programs every year to make room for new players UNLV had several players to leave their program just this year. But anyway, I look at it as a wake up call. Quote

The Knight Regime doesn't get off that easy. ;) Big girl 1 Quote

And again, kids leave their respective programs every year. Last year the number was about 300 and I hear this year its up to 500 transfers. So programs lose kids every year. The good thing is that Lamar will have to implement better recruitment of student athletes and MOST importantly , put academic programming in place to help these kids. Big girl 1 Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 So, what do you tell your recruits now to get their interest in Lamar? They're on probation Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 So, what do you tell your recruits now to get their interest in Lamar? They're on probation When are they off of it again? Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 When are they off of it again? Exactly!! I started to put this question out there. I'm sure the school will have to meet the academic requirements first before being released from probation. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
