I suppose that Moorhead has no choice but to focus on bringing in JUCO and Transfer Portal guys (hopefully mature and experienced) to try to win next fall (or he'll be gone). No time to develop high school talent I'm afraid, especially in desperate situations. It's not good that high school recruits seem to be almost an afterthought in collge football, but that's the reality in general for many of them. It seems that with the portal in partuclar a large number of high school recruits will never find a place to get playing time and will themslves have to jump ship to find a better situation. Over and over again.

I have been very pleased with UA as the parent of a freshman. Eveyone in every department has been pleasant and helpful. My son chose UA over Miami, Kent, BGSU, and Ohio State. As a parent during the admission and enrollment process, I just felt from the beginning that UA cared about my son and his education. I can't help but feel that a lot of this comes from the overall vision of President Miller making its way through campus and UA culture.

Thank you for the info

Thank you for the input.

That is what I suspected, but this guy I knew swore that this was commn practice at Ohio State. Thanks

I have a general question about NCAA D1 sports (specifically football) and acadmeic rules. I heard several years ago from an Ohio State walk-on (who made the team) that scholarship D1 football players only take one actual academic class during fall semester and that the remainder of thier schedule is a multi-credit course called "Varsity athletics" (or something similar) to assure that they are full-time students. Then they would take a regular load of classes in the spring and summer sessions. Is there any truth to this?

I have been off campus for many years (1996), but I really like the UA President. My son is a freshman at UA, and I think the university is under solid leadership in, unfortunately, troubled times. I enjoy President Miller's social media posts. I hope he can bring in more freshmen next year.
