I can't recall where, or from whom, I heard this. I will say I thought it was important enough at the time to remember...oh well.

I think Chase has this wrong. I keep coming back to hearing there is sufficient reason to doubt Milliner will have all his grades in order for January.

That said...this may have changed over the last few weeks.

Do we have any guys coming out of Hargrave in the fall? I see that as good either way.

Upward spiral.
Early out (graduate with the degree early) opens the door to early in (Spring enrollment).

CNS sees the potential of having everyone do this, adding spring ball to every Freshman before he sees Summer and the first season.

No. Just the one JUCO re-sign.

We don't have any kids placed at Hargrove right now. Honestly, I don't know if, or when, we'll use that route again.

There were some really strange things surrounding Hargrove during the last signing day period. To say the least, there will be some skeptical people watching what happens there this February.

How is Devonta Bolton doing? I'm a little surprised he is not on this list.

The word is that Bolton won't have his grades in order to enroll early.
