FWIW he isn't in the LSU student directory.

Fred Davis committed to the Trojans on 1/25/04 and was in class the next day for a semester that started on either the 5th or 12th.

the fourth week is the last week you can drop a class without getting an incomplete at OSU, maybe you can add a class up until the fourth week also?

I'm a little baffelled, at one point JB was concerned with a quality education.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't LSU at the other end of the scale even among state schools?
Not that it's worth anything; but TigerRag had nothing going on JB.

Last day to add a class without petition for winter quarter is January 19.

I can unequivacably guarantee beyond any shadow of doubt through a source absolutely in the know that he will be coming here or not!

Does this thing have spell check?

[ysubuck]

With all of Ohio State's crooked professors and all of the "special" accomodations that are made for football players, I can't see why it would even be a problem for JB to enroll whenever he wants to!!

This kid is the king of vague and everyone eats up each comment.

The fact remains a statement like "I will be in class in a few weeks" could easily refer to OSU's Spring Quarter every bit as much as it refers to LSU's second semester.

Great sign? I dunno, but def. not a knock out blow for OSU's chances.

Personally, I would think he would have much to do to prep for enrollement, including closing the book on HS..so if allowed to rationalize this might actually be in OSU's favor..he has a 'few weeks' more to tie up the loose ends for enrollment at OSU vs. LSU.

AND...while I am here on my soapbox...if he told LSU he is coming and will enroll in a few weeks....as long as he could still get into OSU this year (3Q)...it ain't over till he signs the LOI with JBark..so stand down, continue to bite your nails, but don't assume anything until it is done.

I still think as of today it could go any which way from here....and then tomorrow is a whole 'nother decision. I don't think he is playing games..I think he just really likes all of the options in front of him....and who wouldn't?

If he enrolls early at LSU, he doesn't need to sign a LOI and is subject to D-1 transfer rules.

Thanks, but I wasn't trying to imply if he enrolls at LSU we still have a chance...what I meant was...if he told LSU he is GOING to enroll, I am not ready to assume it is over just yet.

He has told half of DI that he is on the way to play for them.

This *may* be like OSU....ND....OSU.....Texas....ND.....and the rest before.

Gotcha. I misunderstood what you were saying...shoulda known

Split off some more...let's stick to Joseph please. The DL discussion has its own thread here.

What is to be had from this is he says he starts school the 3rd week of January.
