🏈 With today being the 24th, Eddie Lacy final is today (Updated: Lacy makes the grade)

[TerryP]

...he's told the staff on BOL that he might find out something this afternoon or tonight about his grade.

If you didn't know, he's taking an Algebra II class and he's been running a B average, but needs an A to qualify.

Updates will come as they become available on his class...then, we have the NCAA Clearinghouse and UA's compliance to get through.

good luck to the young man. I hope he does well and is on campus soon.

Update! Lacy got his A! It is now up to the NCAA Clearinghouse!

What is impressive to me is that not only do these kids want to come play for UA, but they are willing to work their butts off to do it.

EDIT: Wow, he doesnt seem to play for contact like TR does, but he looks like an electric runner who can be a game breaker. At this rate, our fourth string RBs will have future NFL prospects.

I am extremely excited about Lacy. I'd love a Richardson/Lacy thing. A little "Thunder and Lightning" except not the sucky Clemson version.

 

[Lyrically_N_Gaged]

I was expecting Lacy to be an all-speed back, but judging by the video he has a bit of power to his step also.

Nice video. I got Lacy a bit underrated, I haven't seen so many videos about him, but looks like a fantastic and interesting runningback. Remembers me something of NFL Cowboy's Marion Barber and it's nice to see him getting cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse. That's another weapon for our fantastic and young runningback corp.

And now I say, why the hell LSU passed on this kid?

RTR,

RTR,

As I remember it, LSU thought that there was no chance that Lacy would get his grades up to par. They tried to get in on him late, when his situation had improved, but by then we had him locked up.

RTR,

A long discussion about Lacy from a few months ago.

King of off topic, but what about sentimore weren't we supposed to find out about him today.

There never has been as much info about him as about Lacy. He was considered mych more likely to make it than Lacy.

 

[bamabarney]

If he gets clearance from the clearinghouse and the universities compliance dept. could we see some attrition at the RB spot?

There have been some fairly strong hints of Matchett going on a medical scholarship, and an unsupported rumor that Preyear will transfer.

I'm gonna tell you, of all the kids we signed in that class, Lacy might be my favorite. At least, his potential has me incredibly excited. Y'all, if you've not seen film on him.......YOU HAVE TO! OFF THE HOOK! The guy is an all-world talent that would have been recruited harder by more schools had his grades not scared some teams off.

If Lacy comes in and works hard and lives up to his potential, we could be seeing possibly the most dominant set of running backs to ever play together at BAMA. Richardson, Ingram and Lacy.

Sentimore reportedly made his grades as well, and his fate as well is now left up to the NCAA Clearinghouse.
