Can we afford to say: "Oh well"?

It's not like he can't afford to Greyshirt (pay his own way) or for a tutor.

What makes you think he'd qualify at SDSU if he doesn't have qualifying scores at UCLA? I don't think UCLA raises their athletic enrollment standards much above the GPA/test score standards most adhere to.
Hate seeing this, especially a kid who has access to tutors, etc. whenever he wants. Shaq's a pretty bright guy, so would think he'd have good examples to follow.

I have no evidence to say he won’t qualify at SDSU, so maybe we can explore the option. Evan Burns? I don’t have any clue if he would or wouldn’t but it is worth inquiring. It would be fun to watch him play here |

The CSU system will accept students with a GPA at or above 3.0. Those with GPS below 3.0 may still qualify for enrollment into the CSU if they have an additional qualifying test score: www2.calstate.edu/apply/eligibility-index/Documents/eligibility-index.pdfSo, the standards for enrollment in the UC and CSU system are fairly comparable. I once read it that the academic standards for enrollment into USC and Stanford are below the requirements set by the state schools. |

UCLA may not have thought Burns would be cleared by clearinghouse and may have questioned some of his scores and thus backed off to pursue someone else while SDSU thought it was worth rolling the dice. Happens often. |

Happens often. And Burns struggled with academics once enrolled which led to him leaving early IIRC. |

After his injury his attendance to classes may have suffered a bit.

Any new info/updates on Shareef?
Do the Aztecs have any shot at him?

Any new info/updates on Shareef? Do the Aztecs have any shot at him? He probably has another chance to raise his test score & gain eligibility (or increase his GPA so a lower test score is required), but it sounds like that's a long shot at best. If he wouldn't clear NCAA clearinghouse at UCLA I doubt he would at SDSU as well. The MWC doesn't allow non-qualifiers. Sounds like Kentucky knew about this & decided not to even offer after he decommited, and Kentucky can get anybody who even has a hint of eligibility in. If he does shock people & get eligible I'm sure he'll simply end up at UCLA. Maybe he ends up in the G-league for their base pay, since he can't be signed/drafted by an NBA team, or he does what Robinson & others have done & simply sits out the year & practices. Or EU? Doubt he goes the JC route. PS. Plus, his game is similar to McD's - he's not a true post, so they'd take time from each other. I doubt they'd want to add him & step on McD's toes, thus hurting their relationship with McD & their chances with Jaden. |

Does he have any interest in San Diego State and, if not, why are we talking about him? 1. I haven't seen 1 word about him being interested in SDSU (or anywhere besides UA/UCLA/Kentucky actually) 2. Because someone always brings up a Player X who isn't on the radar (see half of the threads in the recruiting forum) 3. I'd prefer to see fewer of those threads, but "what ifs" are a part of sports...and many thrive on talking about those scenarios. |

I enjoy the recruiting section but I really don’t need to take the time to sift through all those that aren’t interested. |
