Question about Freshmen?????

[bigearl]

Anybody have an update on Devin Williams? I heard great things about him in the spring, but haven't heard anyhting positive as of late. Also how about Jordan Jackson, and Abdul Le'Vier?

Thanks

From what I am hearing Williams will not be with the team. Did not make the grades. I heard that he had a GPA of 0.9 this semester. I guess he was studying with Southall.

WOW....He must have really worked hard for that .9 GPA! What a waste. What about Jackson and Levier? Also, is Ross Rix expected to see more time next year?

Too bad! I was hoping he would wear Stamps #

Is it a definate that is out, or is it kind of a "wait and see deal?" Either way, I know Coach isn't going to wait on this guy or anyone else for that matter. I'd like to see us sign Haynes, because he reminds me of Williams (similar atributes).

No I dont think it is definite but I heard it from a pretty reliable source. So I would say that its about 99% definite.

I'm betting he won't be around, and if not, good for Coach Bustle for laying down the law. I like coach's "team first" mentality. I think when you get a team to buy into that (as Saban has with LSU) you are on the road to success. NO ONE is bigger than the team!

Before we hang this guy out to dry, we should consider the possibilty that he may have really tried but because of ability (or even possibly a learning disorder?) did not do so well. Since he was ineligible coming in, this is a distinct possibilty. Not everyone can pass college courses no matter how hard they try. If this kid is gone, we should be wishing him well and thanking him for giviing it a shot at least. He could have went the JC route you know.

No offense but come on...........a 0.9 GPA. I can do that with my eyes closed and one hand behind my back. Keep in mind, college players need only pass 6 hours to be eligible. Personally, I think this is pathetic. Hope he like bagging groceries, because Albertson's is hiring!!!!

Anyone want to take a stab at our projected starting line-up for next year? Specifically, who replaces Stamps? Jordan Jackson a possibility?
