Anyone know the story here? How in the world did a guy from Texas who has offers from multiple SEC schools decide on CHARLOTTE?

Word on Twitter is academics but Charlotte is trying their best to get him to qualify.

Two problems had to be resolved. (1) CLT was the only program with an admissions loophole to get him a "provisional admission." (2) Then, there was the issue that he's a suitcase kid. They managed to convince him that the LYNX light rail is a bullet train to DFW with a $15 round trip ticket. He thinks he can go home on the cheap every weekend after the CFB season ends. :lol: jk

word from CSNBBS was he couldn't qualify anywhere, even the SEC. Looks like Arkansas was the only one that was legitimately interested, and as desperate as they are, couldn't get him in.

We'll see if he ever gets on the field. I'm sure UNCC grads are super thrilled they've joined the race to the bottom of academic standards with Marsha.

I was about to say that getting a player that could not get in any SEC program is not something to brag about. He may be talented but he could not get in App or any ACC school. South Carolina would not even give him a look and I use to joke that they would take anyone. If he does not get in Charlotte he either has SC State, D2, or NAIA school I would think.

A slippery slope for Club Lit.... They best be careful or they might be the fastest team to move to FBS and get sanctioned.

I believe the saying goes something like: if your not cheating your not trying.

That quote is attributed to the late great sports rules enthusiast Eddie Gurrero.

Sounds like he could be a potential "Last Chance U" player in the near future

If he qualifies at UNCC aren’t there P5 options as well?

I thought UNCC was going to be a P5 next year. Did that not materialize?
