In one school the Spanish course might be a serious, rigorous academic course while at another school (especially rural schools, the Spanish teacher's entire Spanish vocabulary might consist of the lyrics to La Bamba).

No kidding!

I went to Maumee Valley (Toledo guys know what I'm talking about) and was thrown into Spanish 2 without ever taking Spanish 1 and it was a hurricane of pain, just so insanely rigorous for a 13-year old kid who had never had it. Then I went to St. Francis to play football and the Latin 1 in 9th grade was excellent. I ended up at Cardinal Stritch and took French 1-3, which was great...but the Spanish teacher there showed the Spanish version of Free Willy 45% of the time and kids graduated knowing mostly "no hablo espanol" and "no comprendo."

It is a bit silly to not allow this guy to take some classes during the spring and summer to be eligible, if he is at all close.

True. So it would seem either he's not at all close, or he's not willing to wait and risk losing other offers. Hard for us to know which at this point.

The admissions requirements are clear. It's not the school's fault that someone failed to meet them.

I just don't Understand how he didn't know that these classes were required. I don't know if it was his fault for not seeing this or his Guidance counselor. When i was in school we could go the the GC our Jr year and they would tell us exactly what we needed to get in to that school.

To be fair, Notre Dame may not have been on his radar screen that early. We didn't offer until May of his junior year, and he spent much of the time since committed to Michigan, right?
Also, when it comes to these sort of things, football players are often "special." He may have mistakenly believed that applied here.

If there is/was possibly a window for him to complete the Spanish course he needs, then that would be great.

Appreciate the comment

As I've said several times, it's not because of 1 Spanish class.

I missed those, these boards have been moving quick lately.

I know patience is at a minimum right now, so for everyone's sake

Sorry, my fault, I'll try to be more observant next round.

It does look a little less than prepared when the staff twice goes after a guy that Michigan dropped for academic/character issues, and then realizes those same concerns will certainly keep him from getting past admissions here.

One of the things that killed RichRod was a dependence on borderline students in recruiting. A lot of those guys signed LOI and then never left the program because those same issues resurfaced. Demar Dorsey is the really crazy one, where he signed a LOI only to find out admissions wouldn't clear him.

Kelly needs to realize ND isn't Cincy, and that he can't rely on recruiting the same guys here that he did for the Bearcats.

Complete agree.

Completely disagree.

Standifer and even Rios were backups. Notre Dame had Darby and Wright in the bag until an unfortunate series of events took place.

What happened to him

What happened to him

Is Anthony going to summer school to complete a class and will sign with ND once he completes the class? Is that why he has not signed with Colorado? Is he a silent commit with us pending summer school?

I think his LOI has to be signed by April 1. If he doesn't sign by that time he will have to wait till the next signing period in order for it to valid. Feb 2013.

Befuddling to me that Vandy is an option when ND isn't...
