I could have swore I heard Al Eichbach say that he is not going to qualify, even coming from a JUCO. Maybe this is why we have more scholly's to give?

Crapolla. This would be very dissapointing. I hope he makes it. From what I've heard he is a good kid, but from a rough neighborhood in Chicago. C'mon Chris, you can do it man!
THIS KID IS AMAZING. HE WILL START FROM THE MOMENT HE GETS ON CAMPUS. That being said i dont know if he ever will
That sucks...
He still HAS ALL SPRING AND SUMMER TO GET ENOUGH CREDITS TO GRAUATE. I Think he will make it.

This guy reminds me of Torrance Marshall already, beast on the field and kinda slow otherwise...What sucks is its not their fault usually but rather the environment they are brought up and taught in. Good Luck to him, I hope to see him in OU and doing well for himself

With a record of 109-23 (.826) and six Big 12 championships in 10 seasons, Stoops has reason to be arrogant. But he is not. He is somewhere between humble and unimpressed.

Who is this "they" that you are talking about. I hope the kid makes it for more reasons than just football.
Torrrance will always be one of my favorite OU players because of "the play." He was my next door neighbor for a while. Well, at least his baby's mama was. We invited him over to a few parties, but he didn't ever show up.
By "they" I mean kids who are really good kids and have a lot of talent but arent always given the same oppurtunities to be taught correctly. Mosty poor kids and inner-city kids

I heard Al say a few weeks ago that he thought Patterson wouldn't qualify.
We need to get Patterson some of the same classes that Ricky Clemons took to get into Missouri.
Seriously though he is a big time football player and it appears real unlikely that he will qualify. Technically I believe he could go back to NEO for one more year because he redshirted his first year and try again next year but I really doubt we ever see him in an OU uniform.
You know how these things can turn on a dime, though. Using the Ricky Clemons example is good. Also, Chad Johnson from the Bengals went to JUCO for 2 years and made it to oregon state, and he flat out said that he hated class, he hated going to class, and he missed absolutely as much class as he could because he hated it so much. I'm not for sure, but I bet that he might just find a way to get to OU.
These JUCO places have tutors and special aids to help these guys out. I'm not saying illegal stuff, even though EVERYONE knows that cheating goes on everywhere, but being from a rough neighborhood like Chris's might just motivate him enough to get to work and get his credits.....Let's hope, this guy is a stud LB...
I have too much sympathy for myself to feel any for you......
Word is that Chris has about a year's worth of credits to get b-4 August(around 30). He needs to take about 18 hours this spring and 12 in the summer. I think the summer classes he can pass pretty easy, but the spring classes are the ones to keep an eye on.....
I have too much sympathy for myself to feel any for you......
i wouldn't expect him until next spring
I hope he keeps with it and has the stamina to fight his way into OU. Things are always worth more when you work for them.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed....I hope he makes it this year...Originally Posted by jkm, the stolen pifwafwi

i know regular students need 24 credit hours to transfer to ou, so i doubt that athletes need 30. so unless he got 0 hours completed this fall, he shouldn't be in that bad of shape...
I believe his situation requires him to get a degree from NEO before he can transfer.
This is what I've HEARD...who knows....time will tell...
I have too much sympathy for myself to feel any for you......
he is a non-qualifying juco player. he has no choice but to have an associates degree before he can get into OU.
Doesn't bode well for staying qualified once he gets here.
It is amazing that he would be that far away after being there for 2 years.
