No offense to "Tay", but I'm a little surpised that ND offered him with the fact he only has a 2.5 core GPA and he just took the SAT in June. That seems to be a little bit of a reach for ND academic standards for athletes, doesn't it? Now at "the U" that would be a different story. There he would be considered by his peers as some sort of a "brainiac" or genius!

-------He didn't bash the kid, and 17 year olds are not babies. I'm 20 and 17 year olds are alot more mature than you think.

I agree with everything you said.

Just saying that no one knows him personally and he dosen't deserve to be bad mouthed just for getting an offer

I thought we stopped recruiting him because of his grades

Whether Notre Dame has stopped recruiting him or not, I wish the kid all the best. Do a little search on Pahokee, FL and you'll see that if the kid makes it out of Muckville and gets any education beyond high school, he's ahead of the game. He may not have the grades for ND, but the social environment of Pahokee doesn't exactly promote academic excellence or even importance. Good luck to him, not matter where he ends up.
