Lee loses two more players

[Rebel02]

Wait, I thought Lee was going to be different from Jesse in that Lee's players would succeed in the classroom? Bring Evans back!

Athlete was eligible when the semester began due to his work in the previous semester. Therefore there was no negative APR impact. He was removed from scholarship as he barely made it in the previous semester and the administration saw there was a risk this would occur. You guys may recall that when Raymone Andrews was signed, Travis Bureau supposedly gave up his scholarship for that to occur. I believe Travis got the scholarship back when McCoy struggled. As he is not on scholarship this semester, the APR impact from his struggles is ZERO. This explanation comes from someone in athletic administration whom I trust 100%. One more good semester academically and we will be out of the ARP rolling averge concern.

The window for yanking and granting scholarships is rather small.

I do recall the word going into this season was... what a team player Travis was for giving up his scholarship -for the team- to make room. Evidently that was old (and wrong) news.

No problem. McCoy should not count because he was not on scholarship this season. Walk-ons don't affect APR unless coaches decide to include them.

Josh,
Maybe we were talking about 2 different things too. If so, that was my fault. I was saying that the APR was not affected in Oct, because the student athlete was elgibile, and returned to school even after his scholarship was pulled. What is called a 2 for 2.

Maybe you were saying that he didn't count on next Oct 2010 because he wasn't on scholarship this year and was a walkon. I think that was were Jay might have been coming from too.

If you find out different let me know. Thanks man. I know it is confusing. Just trying to help some folks out. I'm getting a ton of APR Questions.

_ If I were a reporter I would have questions. I'm not and I still have questions.

This is all rather weird considering McCoy's struggles in the classroom happened last spring yet he stayed eligible. Good for him, a lot of incentive to keep up and improve the effort.

At struggle time David Walker decided to keep Robert Lee because he was best suited to keep players eligible. I didn't buy it then or now, that does not make Robert a bad guy.

Do all struggling kids get scholarships yanked? I mean since when do coaches have higher standards than the University? HE PASSED.

Chicken-Egg did Robert have a crystal ball or was the scholarship yanking a morale killer?

Not all student-athletes who barely retain eligibility lose their scholarship. I believe it may become a more common occurrence in the future however as APR is a relatively new issue schools are dealing with. Also, not every school who has an athlete in this situation is trying to get out of a rolling average impact threat. Finally, if it were an athlete who performed at an all conference level, perhaps the risk would have been taken.

Seriously. Lee has improved the APR from the mess that it was becoming since Evans was here.

Please

The entire APR fiasco is on Lee. Not Evans.

Evans era influence -which was minimal- went off the books at least 2 years ago.

It is my understanding the APR mess is 100% Lee's doing.

Since you are so sure, can you go back and find out what our APR rating was in Evans' final years? Compare that to what Lee's APR rating has been improving to for the past several years.

Wow, blaming it on the coach? Look back to McCoy's travels over the last few years. I don't think academics were a strong point for the young man. There is a certain level of responsibility that the young man must have and show to remain eligible in order to stay on scholarship and play. This is Ryan's last year. What if his grades, which I doubt were never really that good, are just an afterthought for a young man who may be packing it in. He's playing much less now with Andrews playing and Lago still there and the team is not exactly winning a lot of games. If you have questions, I suggest you ask them to the proper people for which you can get the answers. Maybe coach saw that he wasn't going to class, his dedication to the team was diminishing and saw the writing on the wall.

Can Lee work on improving the W's?
