I'm guessing Mel Kiper changed his ranking of him as the number 1 mlb since he is 290 now
I was a horrible and crazily undisciplined student in college. Downright sorry and lazy much of the time. I have a lot of respect for student athletes at Tech who have all of the practice obligations on top of school work. Our program is doing something right keeping academic issues at bay for the most part.
Glad to hear this good news on JHD. If he does regain his eligibility after this semester I wonder what he will decide to do for the summer semester. I imagine he won't take it off altogether but imagine a "light" load might be in order after busting his hump so hard to get back.
I read that at yesterday's Lunch Bunch CPJ said that JHD expects to regain his academic eligibility this semester, but still has summer available if needed. I have to say this made my day!
Far be it for me to rain on our parade today, but I'm slowing my roll on this. I was there at the lunch. I heard what CPJ said, and it certainly wasn't pessimistic. Nor--though--did I feel in context that it was any cause for newfound optimism either.I read that at yesterday's Lunch Bunch CPJ said that JHD expects to regain his academic eligibility this semester, but still has summer available if needed.

You sound a lot like me. Graduated with a 2.3 and that was after talking my way back in after beginning of Soph. Year. Drinking age of 18 really was a distraction. Looking back, I could have done better. Athletes need help , and they get it. But help was also available to me and I was too dumb to take advantage of it.Could not agree more.....I came into Tech a national merit scholar, top 10 of my H.S. class........and came to a rude awakening after my first quarter.....even then, I never had the discipline to study like I should have. (The drinking age at 18 did not help ) Ended up graduating with a 2.1 and that was pulling it up for quite awhile. I really respect all the athletes who not only dedicate so much time to their sport, but also maintain the academics. (For my second degree, at a Jesuit university.......I partied more, studied less and coasted with a 2.8., just more reason to respect thee athletes at Tech......they could have gone elsewhere and had it much easier)
This is probably closer to the truth.We all talk about how he made Shaq better going against him in practice. That worked both ways tho. Imagine how much he was able to improve facing that monster of a guard day after day.
Never thought I would engross myself in line play, but it is really great fun -- and educational -- to turn off the sound and watch the offense, mainly Mason, work against Georgia, FSU and MSU particularly. Everybody else, I'm sure, but I do have a job. The guy was remarkable to watch, and to be willing and able to do what he did for 35-38 minutes a game makes for a great clinic.This is probably closer to the truth.
