Be careful what you wish for, Gray had to wait a year, because his scores improved too much. Pass the test ,then become elite, under the academic support staff's guidance.And had an elite day!

I remember that all too well. I can't imagine Gray cheated as that would have been pretty hard to do. Always kind of wondered about that situation.
Does anyone know if Eric Abojei is going to Iowa Western CC this coming season? Will PJF make an exception on signing JC transfers if he becomes eligible after a year at IWCC?

Tyrone Chambers did end up qualifying a few weeks ago so I think if Abojei was going to qualify, we would have know by now.
That was a strange situation. I have read that the ACT and SAT have strong reliability and that taking the test multiple times should not produce results that vary by more than 10%. Anyway I hope that Eric is soon eligible.Q was doing graduate work his "Senior" year. I have no doubt he did not cheat. He's a bright guy.

Go Gophers!!
per the Casper Star-Tribune:
Eric Abojei is looking for a fresh start at Wyoming.
The freshman’s recruiting process did not go exactly as planned. Before his junior season at Robbinsdale Cooper High School in Minnesota, the offensive lineman committed to Minnesota. He did not qualify, however, and was unable to sign with the Golden Gophers earlier this year.
Wyoming reached out to Abojei in early summer, and by June 28, he was eligible and committed to the Cowboys.
“They told me that they had some spots for me, and they were looking for somebody like me to come out here and play,” Abojei said Wednesday, three days into his first fall camp with Wyoming. “In my recruiting, I kept them in my eyes and I just made sure that I was talking to them, especially (offensive coordinator Brent) Vigen, (head coach Craig) Bohl, (offensive line coach Scott) Fuchs, all of them.
“We communicated, and they helped me, especially with my qualification. I respected that, and my family respected that the most. Especially coming from Minnesota when I committed, that was looking for family and trust and communication, and that’s what I found here is family, communication and that trust.”

It is too bad for the Gophers to lose an in-state talent like Eric, but congratulations and good luck to him.
Wyoming might be a better fit for him where he can flourish as a player, as a student, and as a person. A smaller school might be better for him. If he is struggling to meet the U's stringent admissions requirements, he may have a tougher time focusing on both playing football and his schoolwork. It seems like he and his family and support people took the time to carefully map out the course that is best for him.
We are going to lose a few folks like Jeff Jones, Andre McDonald, Eric Abojei, Michael Floyd, James Laurenitis, Jashon Cornell, Frank Ragnow, etc... for one reason or another. That is life. We just don't want to lose a player after he is signed.
