Du'Vonta Lampkin 2015 DT is available he won't enroll at UT

[westcoastcanes]

I don't see the connection between him and UM...

Clearly a #staytuned situation.

Although there is likely no connection between he and Miami, he clearly hates Miami, Golden, Coach D and Jim Morris for something and an epic fail has been committed by everyone associated with Miami including the Big Cheese for not naming a pizza after him.

SMH, what is this site coming to.

He won't be enrolling at UT. He won't be enrolling at Miami either.

He will probably go to LSU. Maquedius Bain and 3 other football players were arrested in 2 separate incidents, including DT Trey L(crazy spelling). Trey has been suspended indefinitely so they will need a body

I also don't think LSU is a landing place for him because LSU has the same foreign language requirement Texas does. This was one of the big issues with 2014 DT Travonte Valentine's enrollment at LSU and Miami had a punchers with getting him admitted since as private school UM has more flexibility in what classes to accept.

Sounds like a high character kid who was unfortunately failed by inept public school administration. His parents could have also provided a little more proactive support but in the end they trusted the school system apparently. But when one door closes in Texas hopefully another has opened in Miami, an he would be an ideal fit for UM's defense.

Texas signee Du'Vonta Lampkin still waiting, wants to move on

Texas signee Du'Vonta Lampkin still waiting, wants to move on
Chris Hummer Jul 16, 2015

HOUSTON — Texas signee Du’Vonta Lampkin is still waiting.

A little over a week after submitting an appeal to be released from his National Letter of Intent, he and his family are still awaiting a decision from the NCAA. Texas will have until July 17 to submit its appeal to the NCAA, and then college football’s governing body will make a ruling.

“Right now we are in limbo,” Du’Vonta Lampkin’s mother Vanessa said. “We’re waiting for the NCAA to come down and either say yes or no in regards to the release. It is their decision.”

Lampkin, who declined to speak Wednesday at his press conference, is asking out of his letter of intent because he cannot meet the academic requirements to enroll at The University of Texas. Despite graduating from Cypress Falls High School, Lampkin is still missing a year of Spanish that’s necessary to be accepted.

The three-star defensive tackle graduated on the Minimum High School Program track at Cypress Falls High School, meaning he would only need to take one year of a foreign language classes. For enrollment at UT, a student needs to graduate on the second of Texas’ three-tier academic plan system -- the Recommended Graduation Plan.

Lampkin’s mother said Lampkin took French as a freshman before switching to Spanish as a sophomore. Lampkin had difficult time passing the course throughout high school – he completed his work for Spanish 1B last Monday – and his mom said Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District told them Lampkin would not have enough time to complete the required Spanish 2 classes to enroll at Texas in the fall.

Vanessa said there were no options made available to her in regards to UT waiving the requirement.

“I did everything I could do to see different options available,” she said. “But there weren’t any.”

If Lampkin’s appeal is granted by the NCAA, he will be released from his letter of intent and will be free to sign with another team. But even if it isn’t, Lampkin would still not be admitted into Texas due to eligibility issues. Vanessa said she is not sure why the Longhorns have thus far denied his release.

Either way, the only defensive tackle Texas signed in the 2015 class won’t be on campus next season.

“We’re not angry with Texas at all,” Vanessa Lampkin said. “They have not said that they’re angry. They’re disappointed due to the fact Du’Vonta was the only DT in the 2015 class. They have always been high on him.”

The Lampkins said they have not spoken with head coach Charlie Strong since May, but have kept in weekly contact with defensive coordinator Vance Bedford throughout the process.

Lampkin’s mom said Du’Vonta had the opportunity to back out of his Texas pledge in January and instead commit to Oklahoma, where he could enroll without issue, but he instead stuck with the Longhorns.

This meant he had to complete four semesters of Spanish in a little over six months.

“Du’Vonta took on a large task in January when he decided Texas is where he wanted to go,” Vanessa Lampkin said. “When he had to family during graduation he couldn’t’ go, it broke his heart.”

There have been rumors Lampkin has spoken to other schools in the interim about switching if Lampkin was released from his letter of intent, but Vanessa said he has not. Lampkin, originally an Oklahoma commit, has always been linked to the Sooners, even dating back to his commitment to Texas.

Lampkin could potentially enroll at a junior college, take his required courses and then enroll at Texas in the spring. But, as Lampkin has said many times in the past, that is not an option. Vanessa instead labeled junior college as a “last resort.”

“Du’Vonta’s dream has always been to go to a Division 1 school and play football,” Vanessa said. “Every coach through his door has said JUCO is not an option. Don’t you ever think that it is an option. When you have pounded that into someone’s head, they’re programed to think if you go there, you’re never getting out.

“Du’Vonta is a qualifier,” Vanessa said. “So why would he not go on to play D1 football in the fall?”

Lampkin does not want to go the junior college route, and his mom said he would be willing to redshirt at another Division 1 school, if necessary. But for the moment, the family is just eager for the saga to be complete.

Vanessa said she just wants Lampkin to be able to play football.

“We are ready for things to come to an end,” she said.

he nneds a year of spanish? really? UT is looking to graduate day laborers? its not vital to his success in life let him in.

 

[Cane2]

Amazing the power of the National Collusion & Corrupt Associations (NCAA) to allow Texas to keep him from entering Texas yet also allow Texas to keep Lampkin from enrolling anywhere desirable in Division I FBS Football.

 

[theibisrules]

A real shame he can't go to FSU because they're overloaded at DT.

While FSU is slappin hoes and GETTIN DT's....the U is losin out on DT's and gettin slapped by all the other teams in the ACC. I'd say that's an even trade off.

Charlie Strong said at Big 12 media days that Lampkin will be released from his NLI when UT's fall 2015 registration closes. An since UT's last day of registration is Aug 31 and Oklahoma's last day is Aug 28 which effectively eliminates OU and most other FBS schools except for Miami unless Lampkin wins his appeal. UM's last day of Fall 2015 registration is Sept 2.

So he most likely will fall to Miami by default, which I am okay with since he would most likely redshirt anyway. Adding this kid, 2015 RB Jordan Stevenson and Jaynard Bostwick as a transfer from UF would be be a small recruiting coup for Golden.

Has there been even a whisper of this kid having ANY interest in Miami, other than in your head?

 

[Paranos]

Which kid are you referring to?

If it is RB Jordan Stevenson here is the article
Recruiting Radar: Miami among many pushing for 4-star RB Jordan Stevenson - State of The U

If your referring to Jaynard bostwick then that is a stupid question, go look at his signing day videos or read some old threads about him an Miami.

As for Lampkin he can't officially talk to any school yet, cough cough an his family is very aware of the rules and how things work.

If he needs a Spanish class credit he can get that with a stroll down 8th street.

Nope lol. Stevenson is down to Nebraska and Bama. Bostwick who knows, although I gotta think Miami is an early favorite. Lampkin and Miami have never been in the same breath outside of this board...

Actually Lampkin and Jorge Baez talk via twitter an started following each other. Keeping in mind due to NCAA rules Lampkin can't talk to another schools coaching staff directly until he is released from his NLI. So please know what your talking about before trying to disperage posts your clearly uninformed about and ill-prepared to discuss.

Lampkins NCAA appeal to be released by Texas has been denied which works in Miami's favor because UM has the latest enrollment deadline of all the schools he would consider.

Report: Texas defensive tackle signee Du’Vonta Lampkin LOI appeal denied
By Nick Castillo July 27, 2015

Longhorn defensive tackle signee Du’Vonta Lampkin lost an appeal to be released from his national letter of intent, according to a report from Orangebloods.com.

Lampkin, a Cypress native, and Texas have been entangled in a long saga which began because of a missing foreign language credit. Lampkin needs four semesters worth of a foreign language to be admitted by the University of Texas. He has completed Spanish 1A and 1B but was told by the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District that he couldn’t finish the two semesters worth of Spanish in time to gain admission into UT by the fall.

Lampkin was the only defensive tackle signee in the 2015 recruiting class. He was hoping to be allowed out of his letter of intent in order to enroll in another school that doesn’t have the same foreign language requirements as Texas. Alabama and Oklahoma have been two schools rumored to be a landing spot for Lampkin.

If he is denied admission to Texas rather than released from his scholarship, he will likely have to attend a junior college.

A little off topic of this thread but Devonaire Clarington has yet to get into Texas either (as we all knew would happen). Read something yesterday that said his transcripts are a nightmare and he technically hasn't graduated high school yet. That's at least 2 members of that class gone if you count Lampkin, those are the only 2 I'm aware of. Could be more.

 

[Paranos]

Has clarington even cleared the ncaa, didin't he tranfers between like three high schools in two years?

Where as Lampkin has cleared the NCAA an it is literally Texas along with charlie strong crapping on him.

WR Gilbert Johnson failed to get in as well. He is from Homstead. Went JUCO after failing to get into to UGA lst yr. He is best friends with Davate Davis. Hence why Davis signed with Texas and not us. Think there is 1 more too that failed to get in.

Charlie Strong will be fired from Texas after 2 more seasons.
1. He's getting his *** kicked by TCU and Baylor.
2. Texas is no Loserville when it comes to Academics
3. He has nothing close, nothing, to Teddy Bridgewater
4. Texas has more money than it knows what to do with and will pay Strong off in a heartbeat if needed.
