just found him on rivals. good athlete. question is, though, how does a kid get denied admission to USC and even Nebraska and get into Coastal?

Coastal has absolutely no standards and is a diploma mill.

Not sure. I know he went/is in, I think Ga Mil Acad to kinda work up his grades etc. Maybe that's why? I have no idea.

Not sure about Nebraska - but USC has an academic review committee that has made news recently denying admission to athletes even though they qualify.

They didn't qualify. xnonox Spurrier is wanting to lower admission standards so it'll be easier for athletes to qualify.

Sure they did - they met the minimum NCAA qualifications. The problem is that Spurrier believed that as long as athletes meet the NCAA minimums that they would be admitted and the admissions review board believed another. USC isn't Harvard of the south but it seems that USC admissions were trying to make a point of some of the athletes. They denied an athlete but later allowed him on appeal ... ? The USC admissions process is very subjective. Spurrier lost the battle last year but I think he is going to win the war when it comes down to it. Spurrier and the boosters have a lot of pull.

Luckily, USC has slightly higher standards than the NCAA minimum for athletes... for now. I agree Spurrier will probably get that changed though.
