    Is it just that easy to graduate a full year early from High School? Are kids taking a lot more HS credits in Middle School now?

    That Texas move to to the SEC already paying of huge dividends to lock up in state recruits. Wait…

    Yeah it’s way easier these days with online options and credit waivers and whatnot.

    Seems like a weird decision. He'll be a year behind everyone developmentally, he's already missed the spring, and he's going into an already loaded qb room.

    Basically yes. He just has to finish one English class apparently.

    Well, would he rather get developed by high school coaches and trainers or one of the best staffs in college football?

    Actually, yes. My manager’s daughter just graduated, and her last two years were pretty much nothing but college prep classes.

    I meant that I'd rather go into a pool of people my age with another year of growth and lifting than a year behind. Maybe it doesn't matter as much for a qb than a lineman or something though

    Happens all the time in basketball. Jalen Bridges graduated early. He was going to finish at Fairmont st then go to prep school. Huggs convinced him to reclassify and come to campus and redshirt

    We just enrolled a HS JUNIOR. But apparently he's from UK and when he came to the US he was placed a year behind bc of how they do schooling over there

    WVU did this with Jalen Bridges. Hell be an all Big12 player in basketball this year. This was Huggs argument: would he be better off going to a prep school or graduating early, and red-shirting while going against Big12 players

    He’s working on the assumption that he won’t be at OSU the full 4-5 years anyway, so one less year in HS and one more year developing at the college level is an excellent business decision.

    The only reason I took anything other than English my Senior year was to be eligible for football and start getting college credit. I think I had two classes my second semester of Senior year. Was it not like that for most of you?

    No, not in my day. The schools here now though have it set up so you can pretty much be done with 2 years of college credit by the time you graduate HS:

    Good chance he's a 3 year guy regardless, so it would effectively be the same with draft eligibility rules.

    It’s going to completely change their QB recruiting plans. Not entirely sure yet. The hope is that Jadyn Davis reclassifies to 2023. He was originally in that class before moving down to 2024.

    Somewhere between Lawrence and Fields as prospects seems about right. Definitely one of the better QB prospects in the last decade or so.

    And he'll knock that in a month or he's been doing it all summer?

    Still remember the Bama commit taking 3 math classes all in one summer, at the same time, and getting an A in each. Like Pre Algebra, Algebra, then Geometry all at once. :laugh:
