If he is in fact out due to academics, perhaps its time keeper of three kings puts down the twitter and helps her kid hit the books and get into college. High school is insultingly easy, if you are ineligible it is hard to feel sorry for you because you had to try to fail.

I was thinking the same thing.

though...I would love to see her answer if you tweeted that to her. Like a rocket that would lift off....

A 2.3 is NOT ****ing hard. All you actually need is to not get all D's. I don't feel sorry at all for these kids that can't maintain that. If you even put 25% effort into school, you should be able to get above a 2.3. You have homework, find the answers online. You're in class, listen to the **** teacher and take the notes. That's literally all the effort it takes to get above a 2.3, and that's practically nothing.

Maybe not meeting the gpa to get into UM is understandable if it's like a 3.0. But seriously you need to step your **** up if you can't get that in high school. I don't know how they can possibly succeed in college if they can't do it in high school. The level of difficulty increases 500%.

No you can't get all C's. ALL C's would be 2.0 and they need a 2.3 in math science english history and social sciences. .. that A in PE doesn't help anymore...but I'm with you...40% effort in HS should land you a 2.5 easy.

Was grouping C+'s in the C category as well. I think a C+ average is like a 2.4. Regardless I think you get my point. It's literally the difference between not doing any work and semi-trying.
If I was a high school head coach, I wouldn't let them play unless they had a 2.5. And definitely not unless they at least meet the NCAA requirements. The kid shouldn't even be able to get to the point where senior year this is all happening. This should have already happened the previous 2 years.

When will these kids learn that these private schools are not there to help them at all?

Gulliver, Columbus, etc only care about their own school and their teams, not the individual players

If Mullins would have gone to any public school in Dade, I guarantee he would be taken care of and we wouldn't even be hearing about any academic problems

lol, how is that helpful to the kid at all? That's setting them up for failure in life. High School academics are easy.

I think you are splitting hairs here frankly. If all you can muster in high school with legitimate effort is a 2.5 I am not sure you are any more prepared for more advanced curriculum in the college setting. The reality is anyone under at least a 3.0 wasn't getting in on their own work ethic and understanding of curriculum anyway, so special programs and resources were going to need to be made available unirregardless. The 2.5 high school gpa student is going to be noticeably behind his peers just the same in terms of legitimate academic pursuit.

WTF does being from Miami have to do with the fact that If you can't get at least a 2.3-2.5 gpa in high school, you're absolutely not trying, and you are basically stupid.
And the "help" you are talking about is literally just automatically giving the athletes better grades, because they are athletes. How is that helpful to these kids? Sure it means they'll play football and maybe make it into college, but what after that? what if there one of the like 97% that don't make the NFL?

Academics don't matter at all for these kids.

Cardale Jones said it best. They ain't here to play school.

Miami Dade public schools is probably the worst school system in the country. Most kids who aren't in honors classes in Miami can't spell basic words or even read. These kids aren't raised in academic environments at all.

They know that their ticket out isn't their GPA. It's their athletic talent. Inner city public schools in Dade are a joke academically

Knaw down here hidalgo county texas is the worse school district the valley period I feel bad for a lot the kids down here.

This kid doesn't go to a public school so throw that argument into the irrelevant bucket. He attends Gulliver Prep one of the most respected private schools in South Fl. There is significant resources for him to take advantage of to improve his brain. If you consider the significant relationship that our staff has with Gulliver my guess is that there is a good chance that they will get it done and Mullen will qualify.

 

[dedostheibis]

Wait isnt gulliver a rich private school?

 

[mianjomar]

Wait isnt gulliver a rich private school?

Pretty much. Like St. Thomas and most of the rest Private high schools Gulliver recruits players from all over South Fl.(They all deny it.) Gulliver is at least eighteen to twenty large a year. Sean Taylor the son of a police officer attended there so you get the picture.

The cost of Gullivers tuition is in the mid to upper 20s. What makes this situation even worse is that Gulliver has a separate campus for students that need "extra" attention in the class room so if he is unable to maintain high school eligibility then that's really bad and could signal problems for NCAA eligibility when it comes to the core classes and new standards for 2016.
