Is everyone on campus from the 2012 recruiting class?

  • I know that Demarcus Sweat was in question, but I don't know about anybody else. Does anyone know if everyone made it? If there is someone who didn't then Joker needs to go and get the guy who was denied admission to Florida ASAP....

  • Don't know if being cleared means the same as on campus.

  • Sweat was the last one who was waiting to get his test scores. Per Twitter, he is qualified, but I haven't seen anything on his report date yet.

    Doesn't matter. According to the new guidelines you can only admit the 25 you sign. Since we signed 25 and the Florida signee in question wasn't one of them, it doesn't matter if we are below the 85 limit because he wasn't one of our 25 we signed. If we had signed fewer than 25 and were under the 85 total then yes, go after him by all means but we didn't and we can't.

    I blame Joker for not predicting that Dante Phillips would be denied admission to Florida, thus saving a spot for him. biggrin

  • Looks like the entire class will make it to campus before camp opens. That, I believe, is a first as long as I've been following recruiting. But, more than getting every signee to campus is keeping them in the program, provided they can help UK. There has been too much attrition and too many big gambles. We see that with the fact both the JR and SR classes are very small.

    Joker addresses that fact (about attrittion) in a article on this site if you care to read it. Very informative. Try it.

    If this is in fact the new rule I don't like it at all.... I guess that's why guys who are having grades trouble had to have there scholarships pulled.... I thought the rule said that you can only sign 25 and not over sign, but if you didn't admit all 25 then you still had the chance to grab someone else for that 25th spot...

    Do we have anyone on the board that has the true skinny on this new rule. If so we would appreciate your input on the subject.
