I mean can’t we just pull some strings and get his credits over or just reclassify him as a different year? Lol I don’t know how it all works but if he is as good as everyone says, I don’t think he’s concerned about a degree

Wonder if leary silently committed and mccall decided to look elsewhere
More likely he found out Leary was coming and got the reds that AU is considering another portal QB and decided to bail.

And that my friends is why you take Leary if he wants to commit regardless of what McCall does

I doubt Auburn wouldn't have known by now if he didn't have enough credits. They wouldn't be wasting time on him if he didn't. I'm sure they have people that can't recruit studying the recruits Auburn wants in detail.

A kid coming out of high school flunks a couple of courses and does not have enough credits to graduate......a friggin guy in college for four years has quite a few credits for crying out loud. Some schools may not recognize some courses.....so academically he might transfer as a junior instead of a senior, but it would not keep him from qualifying to enter Auburn. Now if he was flunking everything thats a different story, maybe some of you just have the vernacular wrong.
Maybe he is backing off til Leary finishes his OV, he is in the portal he does not have to sign next week. Though we definitely need a QB to show this portal class who they will be playing with, and early on.

He’s only been in the portal a few days so its totally plausible they had him send transcripts this week to evaluate and discovered this.
I doubt very seriously Auburn knew details about his transcript or coursework before he went into the portal and even then, the coaching staff is going to have to leave that up to the academics to figure out how it will work/what will transfer.

If I am going to have to figure out words like vernacular on here I might as well switch over to the Vanderbilt board

quote:It maybe true but "can he qualify?" should be the second question on the list, right after "Do we want him?". HS kids I could see with so many different systems and how they do classes but I would think all ncaa schools would have to be straightforward and laid out the same. But I'm sure how high he is on our board determines how much the coaches studied him in this much of a crunch.

If he's been after Auburn and we wanted him, QB is our #2 need and him being #1 or #2 on our board, it just seems like the coaches would know this the day after they talked to him the first time.

How are they supposed to know that without getting his CC transcripts?
He could be passing all his classes at CC with flying colors, yet have issue with transfer credits/eligibility at AU. He has to have so many credits to retain eligibility. Schools don’t just automatically accept all other school’s credits and AU has some foundational requirements that would need to be met. It also could be AU does not have the major he was working towards at CC which would greatly affect what he could transfer here.
Its the same thing that happened with Desi Sills.
Do you think these players’ records are just public record anyone can access at any time, because they are not. Those have to be requested to be sent from CC, It then has to go to the academic staff to be reviewed. Its not like Freeze is making this decision himself, he has a staff that understands the academics required. Its also not as simple as HS players GPA/test scores etc.
Looks like Freeze probably had a heads up on a possible concern as he brought Leary in for an OV last minute. That discussion probably started taking place around Wednesday more than likely.
When I was at AU, I took additional credit hours at UAB during one summer while I was home but I made sure, before I did, that the classes I was taking at UAB would transfer and meet my requirements at Auburn because, again, not all transfer credits from other schools are going to be accepted at Auburn and that is true of pretty much all schools.

Per JLee, it is an “academic snag” with McCall. Appears to be progress towards degree again. Said there is still a chance that could be sorted out but likely wouldn’t be until after spring. If accurate, this means our top 2 QBs on the board are both unavailable for spring practice.

I have taken classes at Alabama, Jacksonville State, UNA, some weird online platform overseas, and Gadsden State. The whole transfer credits stuff is a farce. One school made me retake intro to Biology (an elective) just because one was 104 and one was 103. Basically I’ve passed over 220 credit hours and maybe three quarters are sufficient.

Been a while since I was in school. But I vaguely remember a university would only accept so many transfer classes. So an athlete would need to be in his first year or a grad transfer. I guess he could retake classes. Kinda strange he hasn't graduated yet.

I took classes at UNA for dual enrollment in HS.
I went to Alabama for 3 and a half years and did guard/ ROTC..
Got deployed. Got back. Got married. moved to Gadsden finished my degree at JSU.
And now after all of that I’m taking my arse back to school. According to the classes they’re making me take my next major will be sexy secretary.

Academic snag seems like an excuse. If a good QB wants to come here, we'll make a way.
Last second excuses always point to a different underlying issue.
The news of McCall not coming and Leary coming dropped at the same time. I think the "insiders" just got their QBs mixed up and are trying to save face.

The fact McCall has been in school for four years and doesn’t have his degree makes progress towards degree very plausible. The later they are in their college career the less wiggle room you have on this front. Believe he would have to have at least 80% of credits that would transfer towards a degree at AU.
This is far more likely then every single beat writer mixing up the same two players. My guess is we finally got his transcript from CC.

He's not coming. Maybe to Bama, but he is dumb. Let's go HAM on that NC State kid.
