Watch it not be him. Throw tomatoes at me if so for passing on hearsay.
He's not on the list of Student Athletes walking in spring graduation. I guess he could graduate over the summer.Wouldn’t he likely be an immediately eligible grad transfer like Braun?
Sure there are more coming but don't think he'd be the big name KQ is referring to. Which kinda worries me...Watch it not be him. Throw tomatoes at me if so.
I liked what I saw out of Dontae Smith in the spring game as well. IMO Kirvonte's injury set him back, even though Choice stated it was still his job.
Those qualities exist on a spectrum, but to the gist of your question, yes, many inside and outside of GT live by a higher standard of that philosophy than what some posters here suggest otherwise. Remember, this is an online forum and does not represent an unbiased sample of the GT population.Is there such as thing as right and wrong, as integrity?
I've heard something similar multiple times from GT faculty (usually implicitly) in the 2000s via newsletters, emails, and talks to justify continued funding, support, and preferential treatment of the athletic department (e.g. lower academic admission standard, mandatory earmarked fee, dedicated facilities, etc). Maybe that should be revisited as the college football industry continues to separate college from football.Sport is a way for people to pull themselves up and reach beyond the means of their communities and families to improve themselves.
This is probably why the powder keg hasn't exploded yet. It does make it distasteful in regards to the alleged verbal promises of more. Although the cynic in me does note that's a pretty important lesson to prepare for the "real world".Because it isn't actually pulling the scholarship. It's choosing not to renew it when it expires.
I do disagree with any of the preferential treatment towards student athletes, but I disagree even more towards the continued lowering of the "student" while raising the "athlete". In this aspect, I admire the priorities held by Caltech and MIT more than GT and VT.So I take it you disagree with lowering admissions standards for SA's? I'm not saying we don't have some of the brightest SA's out there, but I can bet you that there are a handful in every class that would not be accepted for admission if not for athletics.
I’m guessing CotrellHe is also implying one is a big name player....one of the qbs? Or maybe RBs?
I know who.Someone just let me know when they find out who.
I know who.
Someone in this thread has guessed correctly.Who? (asking for a friend)
I’m guessing Cotrell
Carries would be limited too IMO with all our RB depth and he may want to be a feature back somewhere to showcase his skills.It’s been said to be Kirvonte Benson. Which makes kinda bc of his injury history and may not want to prove himself again. Also, don’t see KB as an inside zone runner kinda in the same vein as not seeing Cottrell as a slot WR
I wish him the best
Not one of the ones listed in Kelly's article, but I think Jarett Cole might be one.
