He didnt qualify
So he can't play this year at all?
If he fails, or has failed, to qualify he will need to go JUCO and obtain a JUCO degree with a 2.5 or higher GPA in order to play for PItt or any other school. That is the current NCAA rule.
Any news of how his summer class(es) are going? Progress reports?
Weird response basically saying nothing.Look up the new ncaa requirements and you could probably guess what the scenarios are.
Last test date was June 3 and scores were released June 22. There are no more test dates to qualify for this year.He can still qualify. Waiting on test scores.
Prep school is no longer an option. You may only retake one course to qualify post graduation/4th year after entering 9th grade. If he didn't qualify is options are to enroll at Pitt, pay his own way the first year and lose a year of eligibility. He would not be allowed to practice with the team. He could also go to JUCO and graduate then enroll.Prep School.
Like most reporters he is clueless on NCAA rules. In that same article it says prep school is option even though the NCAA closed that loophole two years ago.The report by Alan Saunders on June 23rd (after SAT's were released) said he still has a chance to be eligible if he works at it this summer. That leads me to think there is still a chance?

I never said it did. I was just correcting the poster who said they were waiting for the test score. He may only be one course away from qualifying. We won't know until August.
That is dated June 26, after those dates. Obviously he doesn't think the door was shut on June 22.
I think the spin would be something like "PSU lands another 4 star recruit, meanwhile Pitt 4 star recruit deemed academically ineligible."Probably the best hope to hang a hat on is that the PG would have immediately published a gloating article if he definitely would fail to make it. No news might be the best news right now.

To be eligible you have to have a minimum GPA in NCAA Core Courses. (Eliminates electives and courses like gym class). The GPA has a sliding scale of test scores. Prior to 2016 a student could repeat as many courses as they wanted at prep school. So I kid could go to a school like Milford and repeat 4 years worth of math and science courses getting A's and raise their GPA so that a lower SAT score would make them eligible. Post 2016 the NCAA says you may only repeat one course in summer school or prep school after graduating or 4 years after you enter 9th grade. So the loophole is no closed.
Not sure but we are pitt so we are due for at least 2 more pieces of terrible news or it wouldn't be an off season for us. Tipton was bad but we are pitt so we need at least a few more arrests or some other pieces of bad news before I feel comfortable.Not sure who are Pitt fans and who aren't on this thread but lots of misinformation on here. He is retaking the exam.
I also heard there may be some Hamlin news?? Anyone heard anything? I'm not posting it

What did he say?
Sweet. Love our off seasons.Posted "more to come" after the Bookser news or something came out recently, then deleted it
What is "the exam"? He is not retaking a standardized (SAT or ACT) test at this point. He can't.Not sure who are Pitt fans and who aren't on this thread but lots of misinformation on here. He is retaking the exam.

Is the issue the SAT/ACT score or High School requirements?
The last test he could have taken to be eligible for 2017 was more than a month ago and thus he couldn't be retaking any SAT/ACT, unless he goes to prep or JUCO. So, him "putting in study time" on June 26th couldn't be for a 2017 eligible SAT/ACT.https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/scores/getting-scores
1) The results will become available today for the SAT that was taken in June. We should hear something in the next day or so.
2) There is another SAT in August and the results are available September 18.
Maybe he is in summer school and was studying for a test or doing other school work.The last test he could have taken to be eligible for 2017 was more than a month ago and thus he couldn't be retaking any SAT/ACT, unless he goes to prep or JUCO. So, him "putting in study time" on June 26th couldn't be for a 2017 eligible SAT/ACT.
Unfortunately for players like this the time to study was the last four years not the final few months of HS?The last test he could have taken to be eligible for 2017 was more than a month ago and thus he couldn't be retaking any SAT/ACT, unless he goes to prep or JUCO.

Sad to say his bigger mistake might have been committing to a school that is too honest.Unfortunately for players like this the time to study was the last four years not the final few months of HS?
Agreed. I imagine that is what he was doing. My point was with the poster saying "the exam" and not "a class" which seems to indicate they think he is taking the SAT/ACT again.Maybe he is in summer school and was studying for a test or doing other school work.
