Good lord, that's some grade inflation. I graduated #2 in my class with a 4.1, one of my best friends took one more AP class than I did (PASCAL computer programming language class) and so he was the valedictorian. Our entire Top 10 had higher than 4.0 GPAs.

Yeah, I knew I wasn't crazy, that sounds about right, like what I remember. I remember reading about all of those Silver Knight kids in the Miami Herald, and they all seemed to have 6.0 GPAs. Looks like FL may have toned things down a bit. Maybe Roscoe's girl had a 5.0 Senior Year GPA, but it...

OK, so when I was in HS (1980s), the only "bump" we got was an extra 0.5 for Advanced Placement classes. I had a 4.0 from 1st grade to 12th grade, so with all my AP classes, I got up to a 4.1 HS GPA. By the 90s, Florida HS's started giving bumps for "Advanced" classes, bigger bumps for...

True. UF and F$U grind out those teachers. I never really understood how UM could continue to have a College of Education, you'd spend a crazy amount at UM and then get paid crap in the real world. I'm telling you, there has to be a "bad timing" issue involved. There's no way in **** that a...

Yeah, I was living in the Red Roofs at the time (across from Mahoney Pearson), and we were told there would be "flooding" (our garage was in the basement, plus we were technically east of US 1, which was an evac zone). So I rode out the storm in Pearson with one of my best friends. We were...

That's fvckin' crazy. It may have been a timing issue, I know that UM tends to give out the full-ride scholarships pretty early in order to get kids to do early admissions decisions and whatnot. Sounds like she got the Pearson (quarter-tuition, I believe). I think that other poster said he...

You're kidding, right? People's houses were destroyed. I had plenty of friends in law school who were living at home with their parents. If someone was due to start law school, and then the parents' house was destroyed, I can certainly understand deferring for a year while helping the parents...

Not disputing anything you posted, but I find it hard to believe that Randall's daughter didn't get serious scholarship money at UM. Even 35 years ago, UM had serious money available through the traditional academic scholarships, plus they had money available through the "Golden Drum"...

OK, so I'm just now catching on to this issue. Roscoe is a Class of 2020 grad? And still unsigned? Here is what MIGHT be able to happen. Applies to UM. He is a legacy, which is good. Grades/SAT might not help as much. Some of the kids admitted for Fall 2020 might...not be coming this...

You can, you just have to wait 2 years for the track scholarship before converting to play football. Not worth it.

Nothing special, he just spends 300K and is never a counter or initial counter. I don't think it would be a problem to give any talented walk-on a scholarship at this point. If you take a look at the Gaytor article about their scholarship situation, they are at 84 "recruited" scholarship...

As a blueshirt, he counts as an IC, just one year later. If he pays for one year, he can get a scholarship 1 year later and never count as an IC.
