🏈 tougher academic requirements in SEC vs Big XII??

[planomateo]

so I don't really pay attention to this stuff, figure someone on here can confirm. With all the academic chest beating the other leagues do, I wouldn't have guessed this. I'm shocked.

I don't have anything solid yet, but I am hearing we will struggle to get academic acceptance for current junior college commitments Logan David and Marion Grice of Blinn College because of tougher academic restrictions in the Southeastern Conference than in the Big 12. The Aggies are currently after SDE ​

Darrington Sentimore

(6'3 273) of Gulf Coast Community College, who recently visited College Station. We've offered 340 pound DT ​

Mike Pennel

of Scottsdale CC, and are pursuing current Tennessee commit ​

Damien Jacobs

. I remain hopeful we're just trying to build much-needed depth on the defensive line, but with Tim DeRuyter taking the Fresno State job, we may see a move to an even-front defense. This concerns me right now, because we lack the personnel for such a scheme. ​

While I don't know for sure, I'd guess this has to do with the SEC requiring all JUCO players—take Darrington coming out of Gulf Coast as an example—to have graduated from their schools before they would be eligible for SEC play.

His profile says UT has offered. Are they taking a chance thinking he might graduate?

I know Texas has offered Brandon Moore. Hadn't heard about Sentimore.

maybe one of the comments is correct.

is thst it has something to do with online course credit. Think the Big 12 will allow the credits to transfer, SEC will not.​

Sentimore was a Bama commit back in the day, wasn't he?

Chief, he actually signed with us, got in school, played long enough to get in Nick's dog houuse as I remember.
