I hate to speculate, but the kid was ineligible a couple of years back because of poor academics. It could be that he hasn't made it through the NCAA Clearinghouse.

Blade says he has to pass ACTS soon to be eligible as a Frosh.

He is a solid athlete. I can see him walking on in football (once his academics are squared away) and maybe earning a scholarship in the future. I dont really see hoops in his future, Coach Orr has plenty of bodies already. BG only has club track, but varsity track doesnt offer much anyway as far as money is concerned.
I look for Joplins name to surface in 2010/2011

Varsity track, like varsity football, offers no money unless BG is skirting the rules. Professional track on the other hand offers big money and Joplin has about as much chance to compete professionally ther as he does in football. Which is to say about none.

Interestingly, he jumped 6'10" last year which would win state most years but was only the third best jumper in the area and not even close to the other two. The Napolean kid who went to Auburn was the best and Kynard from Rogers, who lost head to head wtih the NApolean kid a couple times I think, had the highest jump, although it came indoors. Pretty good LJer too but some kid from Delta is out near 24- and wins all the sprints, too. ?Yikes!
