This is on the kid.
To think that the school (coaches or administrators) hasn't made it clear to every kid in the entire school that they should not wait until December of their senior year to take the SAT is asinine.
They can't force kids to take the test.
Why would any athlete that plays in the fall wait until the fall to take the test? It should be done before.
This kid is old enough to do media interviews, play in all star games, go to camps, etc. He should worry more about the important stuff.
It may be on him, or it may be on the coaches who knows.
But like some other posters have mentioned, its likely on the coaches too. A lot of these high school coaches do not do what's in the best interests of these kids academically and often they are unprepared. You could go to the locker room of any HS right now and I guarantee about 90% of them don't even know what requirements they need to make to get into school. This happens every year with numerous recruits.
Sure does. We see it all the time.
Just not surprised one bit with this kid. He has always given off the "lazy" vibe and I am not just talking about his supposed on-field lackadaisical attitude.
True. I'm not speaking to Lane specifically on this issue, just more in general.
A lot of these kids don't even understand the concept of college and would not be going if they couldn't play ball. The people in their lives, more specifically the coaches, need to do a better job of informing them of their opportunities. Even if they go D-2, they can get an education paid for. But yet every year you have kids all over the country not taking the ACT or SAT until their last semester of school trying to qualify. It's a **** shame.
