What if Azzi Fudd did what Top '21 UCLA commit Dominique Darius did? [Merged]

Let her enjoy her family until the World balances out a little. Don't you want fans there for her debut?

Here’s the thread on the same subject from the other day:

What if Azzi Fudd did what Top '21 UCLA commit Dominique Darius did? [Merged]

During the Seton Hall game, I texted MilfordHusky and asked what would happen if Azzi Fudd graduated High School early (presuming that her coursework is completed) and enrolled at UCONN for the Spring Semester? I mused that with the High School season uncertain and the extra year of eligibility...

Along these lines, the quarterback for the Washington Football Team in a key game this weekend--win and they are Division champs--could be Taylor Heinicke. Taylor was taking Final Exams at ODU a couple of weeks ago. Pretty big jump from college student to NFL QB in a very important game.

He is 27 was part of 4 nfl teams as an I drafted free agent and played in the xfl so if he was taking college exams he had to finish up after a few years of finishing his college elegibility

Yes. Heinicke played for ODU in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. Like most NFL players, he didn’t leave with a degree, so he returned to ODU this year to finish.

Sure, but I want to see it as well from my cave. Not my choice when or how she gets to Storrs, we will all enjoy her arrival and look forward to it.

I'm pretty sure the UCLA kid actually graduated last year. The article said she's at a prep school. Most of those offer athletes a PG (post grad) year to focus on sports beyond academics.... If that's the case, she was probably already finished with HS coursework or had very little left to do this year. With Azzi as a 4 year HS student, this would be tremendously difficult.....

That’s not the case Darius attends Blair Academy and is not a PG and has been doing so since 2017. That entire league Mid Atlantic does allow for PG however you cannot do a PG year at the same MAPL school where you completed your 4 prep years.

Correct. Though he has been around professional football for a while, he hasn't played very much at all. If I'm the Eagles' Defensive Coordinator tomorrow night, I'm blitzing the hell out of him.

What do you think about Rex Ryan's theory that there's no way the Eagles let the Cowboys win the division?

Rex Ryan is a gasbag. Do you see Jalen Hurts tanking? These guys are playing for jobs. Plus the Cowboys are perfectly capable of keeping themselves out of the playoffs.

Love it! Thanks

Certainly not as it was before, but still not bad for most high schoolers. I doubt many HS seniors would want to leave early to join a team in mid-January. Also, of course, most high schoolers aren't in position academically to graduate in mid-January.

Plus this year isn't the true Sr. Year high school experience.

True. But the high schoolers in my area still seem to be having a pretty good experience.

Not up here no sports and mostly virtual learning. It's more the hanging out and being normal kids. For most of them it's learning to appreciate what you can now. Learning that at times you can only do what you need to and the wants are a lot more difficult to have because of Covid

Regarding the possibility of UConn’s 2021 commits enrolling early and playing later this season, Auriemma said that hasn’t happened yet, but he didn’t necessarily rule it out either. They’d first have to graduate high school.

“Where are we with our players?” Auriemma asked. “Well, one, they’re still in high school. If and when, since it has become an issue, if all of a sudden our four incoming freshmen find out, ‘Hey, my season’s canceled, I can finish school tomorrow. Coach, can I come?’ That hasn’t happened yet. That doesn’t mean it won’t, that doesn’t mean it will.”

Another disappointment for UConn as Baylor game canceled due to Mulkey’s positive COVID test

The clash scheduled for Thursday against the No. 6 Bears would have been UConn’s first...
