    He was failing his foreign language classes online. He was here with no money and nowhere to stay. He wasn't going to get in. And before you start ragging on the kid for not getting it done, don't There was a lot going on. He wasn't going to get in to UW. He could go to Oregon or Alabama and not have to worry about retaking the classes. With all the crap going on in Seattle and back home, it was just too much.

    A long series of circumstances with plenty of blame to go around, UW wasn't blameless. It was unfortunate. It's be rehashed quite a bit. And honestly, I think most, if they'd had the same circumstances at the time would have made the same decision. It was a messed up deal on all sides. Unfortunately, a 17 year old was put in a bad situation. new city, no money, no place to stay, deaths in his family back home, financial constraints, trying to cram 2 years worth of foreign language classes into a couple of months and not doing well.....

    Gifted writing, right there.

    JFC, 2 quarters of Spanglish at UW is “too much to ask?” Isn’t this fag from Vegas? I’m sure it was a completely foreign language.

    “No place to stay?” Was he sleeping in Snoozalo?

    Talk about hyperbole. I could go on, but now I am pissed and need another drink.

    Someone needs to tear-end that faggy mini “affordable” Mercedes Kim drives around in with a NW tough logging truck and push into Lake WA at “the Landing”

    FTG
    I know you're being sarcastic but the Landing isn't actually on the shore of Lake Washington.

    Pretty easy to pop off on something you know very little about

    There were a lot of things going on behind the scenes. Most here have no idea about the real process of recruiting, admissions, standards, and what really happens. If they did, they'd probably keep quiet or have different opinions.

    Let's remember that parents of recruits and players read these boards. Careful about what you say. It can easily be taken the wrong way.

    So parents of recruits will be turned off if we tell them Kim's a fag?

    None of this has every made sense to me for three reasons:
    1.) Why was he even in Seattle? We're talking about community college (almost certainly online) language courses. He could have been taking them on Dad's couch in his underwear.
    2.) Why did he have to be taking "two years" worth of language credits in a matter of weeks? I get the kid wanted to enroll in the spring, but why was that such a deal-breaker? The vast majority of recruits still come in in the fall, and it wouldn't have made or broken his position on the roster had he done likewise. He had like eight months to finish the coursework, not a couple of months.
    3.) If things weren't shady, there's no "20 pound weight loss, closer to family" BS. Period. That the kid's camp felt they needed to throw out a bullshit smokescreen as all the proof you need that there wasn't "blame to go around."

    1. He came to enroll at UW for summer ball and once he got to campus he found out he wasn't eligible. He couldn't afford a ticket home so obviously he stayed here to complete the class while working out with his teammates.
    2. Nevada Highschoola doesn't require language for graduation and ,once again, no one told him he needed it to be admitted to UW.
    3. He was to prideful to admit he didn't get in and was dealing with some real family issues at the time.

    These all were answered by Hopate during interviews with Bama media. I find it very interesting when I was admitted to UW with 0 foriegn language credits on a waiver that I would complete them prior to graduating uw, yet A football player cant get this.
    JT could've hooked him up, sheltered him and bought him a RT ticket. But nobody asked.

    Poor Saint gets no respect.

    When Dabo steals a recruit, the check never bounces. Saban is losing his edge.

    Sounds like he came up with it at a bar.
