A Sea Of Red

he reported saturday!

Seems a little early in the year for reporting. Maybe wants to get a jump on things before camp begins in August. Looking forward to see if he plays this year or redshirts. He is probably our most prized recruit this year.

We have around a dozen incoming freshmen on campus right now. They're taking a few summer classes to get a jump on the year.

Welcome aboard ELKIN, glad to see you found your way over from the other board!

Perhaps Libertine or someone else can answer this: Do the summer school classes right now count toward qualificiation for this coming year or do you start from scratch as a freshman in the fall?

Yes, they count but it won't matter for these guys. By graduating high school with X GPA and X score on the SAT/ACT they're already eligible for college athletics. When taking these classes now will really benefit them will be going into the fall of 2007 when they will have to have completed 24 credit hours to be eligible.

That's what I was getting at, Libertine. In order to maintain academic standing, you have to keep a certain GPA with a minimum number of credits. I didn't know if the annual total begins each school year or if there are certain plateaus that must be reached for each semester on campus. It certainly appears to be a wise call to get in as many summer school credits as possible considering how time-intensive football can be during the fall amongst all the other classwork.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that each athlete also has to carry at least a 2.0 GPA or better. It's not just a matter of passing the class.

You're right. That's exactly why it's being done.

Ok, so who are you on NCPreps? I've got an idea, I just don't know which one of you it is. There's about 17 Elkin fans over there.

im elkinftball2002 on ncpreps

Ok. This name (SuperJon) got blacklisted on there but I'm back under a different name. This is about the 7th name I've had on there because one FBRef finds out it's me he bans it.

yeah that guy is ban happy

Very much so. You say one bad word against him and you're gone.

this started on our old board- will try to get a link to it for you.

here's the gist of the initial post by our friend ELKIN FAN:

author=elkinftball2002
Terry will be a true freahman starting linebacker for liberty. In his 4 years of varsity football he won 3 state titles,4 time all conference,2 time all state (lead defense in votes his 12th grade year), 2 time conference player of the year,was in the top 5 in NC for sacks and TFL in 11th and 12th grade. He runs a legit 4.6 forty but has been time at 4.54 has a 475 bench. I have a short video click the link to see what he's about ill post more clips later if anybody wants to see those as well.

We have several guys who by all means shouldn't be headed to a I-AA school except for injury. So terry is certainly one of the guys I'm most excited about, but we have several guys who could make an immediate impact.

He played I-A ball in NC (the smallest of the 8 leagues) but he's very good.

Rocco was recruiting him to UVA, I think. Then when Rocco came here, Adams did too.

yes that is very true SJ.

he was offered by nc state

then why isnt he at nc state?

Probably for the same reason Jerome Simpson is at Coastal instead of ECU: the chance to play more and have an impact.

because he wanted to go with rocco who has followed terry since the 9th grade

Terry - it is nice that you wanted to follow Rocco, shows loyalty.
