Jaleel Johnson...

[EST1847]

Rob Howe just tweeted this "Jaleel said he needs two more points on ACT."

Can't say I know off the top of my head what the minimum score for enrollment is but its got to be around 16.

Hopefully we don't have another Rodney Coe situation (minus the position switching)

 

[Churlish79]

Yeah, I saw that as well..

Montini is a pretty good school. Kinda surprised at this..

 

[EST1847]

Rivals has him with a 2.5 GPA which is pretty meh... You'd hope to see higher but I've seen worse.

Wow, disappointing. Does he get to take it again before fall camp?

His high school must have had some tutoring involved and maybe some soft grading. Grade inflation in high school and college can be a bad practice sometimes to show high grad rates.

The next 3 scheduled ACT tests are April 14th, June 9th, and Sept 8th (Which would be too late)

There was also a test on Feb 11th.. not sure if he did a retake there or not.

Why does it have to be around 16? I thought is was more along the lines of low 20's.

Here's a link (on U of Illinois' website) to the sliding scale for academic qualification. If the 2.5 GPA for JJ is accurate, he will have to score in the 68th percentile on the ACT. That would be a score of 23. (If I'm reading the chart correctly.)

This is the formula Iowa uses.​

Need 245 instate and 255 out of state to qualify


Not sure on NCAA qualifications.​

Thanks for the info farmer. Sounds like Churlish's point of going to a good school might hurt him in his class rank. My concern for a guy like this is 2 years from now he might not have the same college mindset he does right now. I don't want to see him get huge at a CC, transfer to Michigan and run over our guards on the way to murdering Rudock.

 

[NeilDiamond]

16? Wow.

I don't want him to go the way of CC because odds are the Hawks are really going to need him in the next two years.

Maybe shoulda spent a little more time in the classroom and a little less time on the twitter machine.

When I was in College in order to run track at UNI we had to score a Min of 18 on the ACT.

 

[Billso]

Crap.

When I was in College in order to run track at UNI we had to score a Min of 18 on the ACT.

That's what it was when I graduated in 2000.

 

[sergeanthulka]

Why can't we just admit partial qualifiers like they do @ tOSU? Or is that an outdated rule, or something?

 

[kmurp]

We just can't seem to get big defensive linemen. Sounds to me like he isn't coming.

 

[HawkForce]

Buh-bye Jaleel

I'm about 80 % sure that rule only applies to general student admission and not athletes
