JTT not taking care of business in classroom

DCDeac said:
Hard to believe. Next you'll tell me Ari's having classroom trouble as well.

It's a shame these fine young athletes can't find a coach that isn't hell bent on screwing them over.

It's obvious to me sometimes that none of you ever actually met JTT or Ari...because it is not surprising to me at all that they have trouble in the classroom.

Joke's on you. I took AP European History with JT back at West Charlotte. You tell me how a kid who knocked out a 5 on that test without studying is having trouble making grades at a dump like USC. Obviously he's making a statement - whether it's a political statement or just a silent commentary on USC's Athletic Department I couldn't tell you.

We're only 2 weeks from the 60 minutes interview where he'll share the details with the world though, so we'll know soon enough.
 
JT doesn't seem too worried about being declared ineligible:


JT Terrell ‏@JTTerrell5_LOE 6h My birthday weekend start tomorrow !!! Everything just got REAL !!
 
After we were told JTT was leaving Wake to get help with his drinking problem one of his first tweets then was "back in Burlington and getting ready for the Cummings-Williams game tonite with all my buds" . Help with his problems.
 
Yahoo Sports on JT and Ari:


Gambling on Wake Forest Transfers J.T. Terrell and Ari Stewart Hasn’t Paid Off for USC


The calculated risk former USC coach Kevin O'Neill took on a pair of talented but troubled Wake Forest transfers hasn't worked out as well as the Trojans hoped.

“There’s not a whole lot I can do as a coach other than give support," Enfield told the Los Angeles Daily News. "We have tutors, an unbelievable academic support system here with advisors and learning specialists. If you can’t succeed, it’s not USC’s fault. It’s not the program’s fault. It’s your fault. I think J.T. understands that. He needs to mature and do what he needs to do."

USC can't say it was blindsided by the academic woes of Terrell and Stewart because a lack of maturity is what led to their departure from Wake Forest.

Who does? What does this even mean?

It means both of those guys were either too fucking stupid or didn't give enough of a shit to pass classes at Wake Forest.

How is this a difficult concept to understand based on how they've both also failed out of USC?
 
Ironically, it might actually be a testament to Bzz that he got JTT through an entire season at Wake.

Then I think saying something like they couldn't cut it at Wake would be more appropriate, but I suppose that is just semantics.

I ran into UNC assistant CB McGrath the summer before JTT's freshman year, and he warned me that JTT wasn't going to do well at Wake and that the fans would ultimately not like him.
