But he's playing for Wichita as a freshman??? That's confusing.

You can say his name.  Why did you go out of your way twice to avoid saying his name?

"kid from Newark"
"kid playing for Wichita St."

I spend all my time playing Trackmania, and various board games. You might remember me as Corndog7 or PossibleOatmeal.

It's accurate. I'm not sure if Wichita has lower standards or he possibly would have been a late qualifier, but we moved on with little interest when we were made award of this. The guy can play, but I'm not sure he was a great fit for us anways!

That's so dumb...

His name is Austin Reaves. Now do you want to an answer the OP's question, or do you not know?

Interesting...just from reviewing each schools website, it would appear that UA requires a minimum 3.0 GOA for undergrad admission. That's news to me. Wichita by comparison requires a 2.0

Thanks for the info!

Everyone has "special" exemptions, I'd bet the farm we have football and basketball recruits that didn't make a 3.0 He needed work with both the test score and GPA to qualify, he did both and WSU had made him an offer and wanted him.

It's not dumb.  How would I know if I remembered anything about the situation if he doesn't even call him by name?  I wanted to help, but I found myself jumping through unnecessary hoops to get his name when he could've just said it.  He clearly knew it.  Twice he could've done it and twice he didn't.  It seemed weird.  If you want to chase down the info for him, be my guest.

I think there's more to it than he didn't qualify. I know some of his family, they said initially he didn't have the ACT scores, but he worked and got them pretty late. I will just say that the situation with Monk had a lot to do with it.
