    Just updating this one with a little good news. 12 of the 13 scholarship players finished the semester, with only Daniel Orton taking an incomplete and possibly hurting the APR.

    Interesting to note that Wall, Cousins and Bledsoe finished classes and the team GPA was 2.18, which is an improvement from the previous fall grades, and also includes Orton who left in bad academic standing.

    Not the greatest, but any improvement is good, especially noting everyone did complete the year except Orton who left for California to work out as soon as the season ended.

    If "these guys show no ability to be college students", how can they be admitted to said colleges?
