Joe Mitchell?

[Shox21]

Shox21, my post was not directed at you or meant to reflect negatively on you in any manner. My point was that the post you were referring to was, at least, a bit confusing and some might say nearly incomprehensible. I was trying to mess with nut, not you.

No offense taken, but your post could also have been taken two ways. Just explaining that sometimes the brain doesn't register what the eye sees. (and I'm getting older on top of that)

Was Shox21 referring to the test score, or the grammar in the post that reported the test score?

I really was an excellent student in school and was VERY good at reading comprehension, but as the years go on -----

Sorry, my eyes saw it as ACT but my brain registered it as SAT, hence my comment about "blindfolded" (you do have to admit that 17 is a dismal SAT score). And it's been a long, long time since I had to refer to an ACT score, so don't really know what is acceptable there, but do know that the highest is in the mid 30's (I am remembering 36 or somewhere close).

You do have to admit the post I answered was a bit confusing. When asked if this kid was a qualifier, 2305 said "i doubt he told me the first time he took the act he got a 17" Okay, was that "I doubt he would have a problem with qualifiying as he told me ...." or (keeping in mind that my brain had registered this as a SAT score) "I doubt he would qualify as he told me ...." That's all. I'll try to do better next time.

An ACT of 17 is pretty weak. An SAT of 17 is amazing since 200 used to be the minimum possible score. :D

After staying up most of the night playing video games, my kids took the ACT in the morning and got both got 28 or 29; the idea of "studying" for the ACT was completely ignored by both. So a 17 is weak. Now a 37 - amazing!! :shock:

per the ACT web site

The Composite Score is the average of your four test scores

per the NCAA FRESHMAN-ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS QUICK REFERENCE SHEET

The ACT score used for NCAA purposes is a sum of the four sections on the ACT: English, mathematics, reading and science.

also

Division I has a sliding scale for test score and grade-point average. The sliding scale for those requirements is shown on page two of this sheet.

given a 17 composite score would be generated from the following score range 16.5 * 4 = 66 through 17.49 * 4 = 69.96 which must be rounded down to a 69. (70 would yield a 17.5 which would be rounded to an 18 )

This would require a core GPA from 2.55 at 66 to 2.475 at a 69 to be eligible.


Division II requirements are

Division II has no sliding scale. The minimum core grade-point average is 2.000. The minimum SAT score is 820 (verbal and math sections only) and the minimum ACT sum score is 68.

I also find it interesting on the NCAA site that a GPA of 3.550 and higher would require a minimum ACT score of 9.25. A kid with a 3.550 GPA should be able to skip half of the ACT and still get a 9.25 on the ACT.

Unless he had "help" with his grades. 8)

Joe is taking an official visit to Georgia State this weekend.

[tropicalshox]

Verbals to Ohio.

[RoyalShock]

Mitchell had a pretty good line in his last game: 31 pts (15/17 FT), 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 turnovers.

Rumor is he is enrolled at Wichita State and will be an invited walk-on.

Rumor is he is enrolled at Wichita State and will be an invited walk-on.

So ... yeah ... heard this on KGSO this afternoon. Freakin' sweet to add JucoRecruiting's No. 28 player and No. 5 SG at the last minute. Joe was an NJCAA HM All-American last year and led HCCC with 18.2 ppg, 1.5 steals per game, and 4.1 assists per game. He also managed -- on a team with Robert Goff and William Nelson in the post -- to grab 5.4 boards per game despite being 6-1.

He shot 52 percent from the floor, 30 percent from three, and 78 percent from the line.

(Might I just add: "If true")

[tropicalshox]

Was there any explanation about what happened to him and Ohio? I thought he signed an LOI. Did KGSO present it as rumor or fact?

[Aargh]

If this is true, we've just abut filled out that 4th team for practices.

It was strange -- they were adamant that it was a rumor, one they normally wouldn't talk about. But they essentially said that, given the sources (which they didn't name), they felt it was solid enough to report.

As of today, Joe's name is still on the roster on the Ohio U. website.

Another huge non-scholly get for the coaching staff if true!
