He graduated today and got a standing ovation when his name was called....
"A large group of Alabama athletes will graduate this weekend as the fall semester ends.
It includes 15 current or former Crimson Tide football player, a Major League Baseball player and an Olympian.
The football group is headlined by quarterback Jalen Hurts who will earn his undergraduate degree in three years.

Other football players who will get diplomas include Elliot Baker, Joshua Casher, Miller Forristall, Derek Kief, Jamar King, Donavan Mosley and Ryan Parris.
From the Alabama basketball programs, Donta Hall, Dazon Ingram and Amber Richardson will get degrees.
Seattle Mariners pitcher Wade LeBlanc will also graduate 12 years after beginning his professional career. Hunter Alexander, Dylan Duarte, Brock Love and Kyle Kaufman are also graduating from the baseball program.
Christopher Reid, a 2016 Olympic swimmer, is also set to graduate along with All-American track and field athlete Quanesha Burks.
Also on the list of graduates: Domonique Williams (track and field), Rachel Bobo (softball), (track and field), Smith Hinton (tennis), Cat Jorgensen (soccer), Christina Maartensson (soccer) and Paige Matherson (swimming and diving), Emma Welch (soccer) and Leah Lawrence (volleyball)."

Must've been handing degrees out of fruit loop boxes.
There are two rules for success: 1. Never tell everything you know.

He'll be gone and the bammers should wish him well instead of any animosity. He stuck around to get his degree when most other kids would have packed it in or left. then he hung around and showed character in bailing the team out when Tua got hurt. Hell, I gave him a standing ovation. Now though, unless he realistically can win the starting job back he truly has no reason to stay. It's best for him to go somewhere that better suit his skill set.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Congratulations to the young men and women. RTR
Did Auburn not graduate any players or did Gus forget to tell his assistants to make sure they went to class?
One day the right woman will come along and the next thing you know you'll be wearing her underwear!

You're wrong Jawbone. Jalen hung around and became a better quarterback instead of a ball hog. Tua forced him to get better if he wanted to play.

There is not even a hint of animosity from Bama fans concerning Jalen transferring; ultimate teammate, class kid, good student and will be successful in the future; whatever his chosen path.

This is the thread where we all pretend like our respective schools are virtuous and rigorous for athletes and the other schools just hand out degrees.....
May as well join in, the aubs act like AU is some much more prestigious of a school to get into.... while Georgia and Auburn both let this cat in. Can’t understand a damn thing he says. On the other hand, I know the standards seem to be quite a bit lower for athletes. After hearing some of these kids talk, I haven’t a clue how they made it through to get a diploma. Every time I hear Blake sims on WJOX I cringe because he’s such a bad speaker and genuinely comes across as dumb... maybe he’s just a nervous speaker.... but damn it’s bad...

Yea they're all doing it and its all a front.

Back in the 1970’s, I worked for a huge engineering company in Chicago. We hired hundreds of designers and drafters every year. Being an Affirmative Action Employer, we’d recruit at some of the inner city community colleges that offered AAS degrees in Drafting Technology. At Malcolm X College, 25% of the graduates couldn’t spell “Malcolm”. At Kennedy- King College, 50% of the graduates couldn’t spell “Kennedy”. Most of them spelled it phonetically: “Kinndy”. When I asked the Placement Directors at these schools what the entrance requirements were, they said if you graduated in the upper half of a city highschool, you had to be admitted.. They admitted that if an inner city kid showed up for class, didn’t commit a crime on school property and didn’t assault the staff, they would graduate in the upper 50% of their class and yet be completely illiterate.. Once they reached the inner city community colleges, the instructors just continued to give them passing grades, even though they were still illiterate. These poor kids then graduated with an AAS degree but with no job skills and unable to even fill out an employment application properly. I blame the corrupt and incompetent Chicago Democratic machine for allowing this to happen.
