2012 College Football Season Thread (Realer Than The Real Deal) - Page 337

I think florida knows they're getting clark so they turned timmons away and ohio st will hold a spot forever for bell even if it's unlikely that he'll end up there.

Ross is an FSU fan. Or a Gator. Depending on the day of the week. He's been known to switch identities up.

Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is a grey shirt?

Yeah because we have big recruiting classes...ughh shut up

Essentially delaying your enrollment until the next January.

You won't be on scholly and if you take classes you can only take up to a certain amt of hours. It allows for more scholarships to be available for the current year

Good info.

I've always wondered this also. I assumed it was a redshirt, but with different rules?

Sort of (in regards to Rook's post). But you aren't allowed to participate with the team. So no practicing, lifting on your own...stuff like that.

Looks like Hatcher is UK's to lose.

Grey shirting is rare with a player with multiple offers, also the route taken when a player doesn't get cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse.

Got it. Thanks

if freeze says something he is guilty if he doesnt say anything he is guilty. so pick your posion, think he was tired of the kids getting there name dragged threw the mud

Doesn't that essentially mean these Grey shirts would have to have some money to then pay for their schooling? Does that not open the door for where might those finances come from?

Same thing I was thinking...

I remember somebody in this thread joked about how Nick Saban convinces recruits to Greyshirt and now I see probably why there cool with it

So then how does a regular 18 year old come up with the coin to pay for school then, not on scholly?

Which rankings are you looking at?

Rivals:

2002: UGA #3 FSU#4
2003: UGA #6 FSU#21
2004: UGA #9 FSU#4
2005: UGA #10 FSU#2
2006: UGA #4 FSU#3
2007: UGA #9 FSU#21
2008: UGA #7 FSU#9
2009: UGA #6 FSU#7
2010: UGA #15 FSU#10
2011: UGA #5 FSU#2
2012: UGA #12 FSU#6

Dude said if production was based on recruiting rankings, FSU would be winning Championships. Y'all have both had similar rankings though...

It's hilarious that two knuckleheads who've been talking about all the high schoolers their so happy about cheering for are now trying to downplay all that? Like every year it hasn't been some slogan how this year class is bringing them rings or some ********. Y'all underachieve like CRAZY all things considered.

And again, so does Clemson. We suck. Our Rivals rankings in those years: 22, 67, 61, 17, 16, 16, 12, 37, 19, 8, 14

 

 

Meh, not anymore.  every sec school dirty recruits. in Ole Miss' case it might legit just be that kids like the coach and the idea of being the best class in school history and the first to win anything worth a damn in years is pretty appealing. when you're 17, hype has a lot to do with the decisions you make.

 

i think freeze tweeted that mostly because his personality is the type to get defensive real quick and confront any naysayers when others would just ignore the grumbling.

They usually don't attend school (in the fall) they just work until the next January. Sometimes they take summer classes.

And it's not like they can't take out student loans. The situation of them being paid wouldn't come up, because the highly regarded/wanted players who "get paid" would never get grey shirted in the first place.

Ok, that makes sense. I was looking at it from the perspective someone mentioned that if their grades were not up to par, greying them would be a way around it, and if a school goes to that much trouble to get a kid, bad grades and all, then there must be something to him, on the field.

I see what you guys are sayin now. Thanks for clearin that up.

 

 

pretty much all these. like Mossi johnson for UCLA was going to come in with everyone else but tore his ACL a few weeks ago so will get surgery and rehab till january.

 

or Jeremy Castro last year who didnt have the test scores right away so didnt get them till dec so came in january as a Grey Shirt.

one semester of regular financial/a loan isn't that big of a deal compared to regular students 

 

basically. imagine a top undergrad school telling you you had to defer for a semester or pay 1 semester of school fees but then you could go for free the rest of the way.

 

to some kids it looks more appealing than going the community college route or to a "lesser" school in the long run.

Some get sent to local JuCo's. Get/keep grades you get a scholly as an EE the following year.


"ToRrodney Prevot will not be signing with USC"

Not shocking, unfortunately.

Prevot is going to be an Aggie... Sounds like they plan on landing Daeshon Hall, too...

JJ Gustafson took a grey shirt, so A&M has to feel good about picking up someone else tomorrow too.

 

 

should have just let his bum *** feel good at thinking UK stole a recurit from those schools

We ain't stealing kids in our back yard, fool... but had Joker still been around, Timmons and Hatcher wouldn't be at UK.

We got 9 kids from Florida, 6 of em are at skill positions.

Stoops is pulling a top 25 class... Let me rock.
