The jury is still out on five-star recruit Trey Metoyer but at least now we'll know when the verdict will be in. Metoyer is currently working to qualify at OU by taking two classes at Tyler Junior College. He must make an A in one class and a B in the other which according to an article in The Oklahoman he's confident will happen but there's another minor problem as well.
"If I get them, I am on my way up there," Metoyer told the Oklahoman. "Everything is going well. I'm going to class every day and passing my tests and passing my daily grades, so it is looking good."
The current summer semester at Tyler Junior College ends on August 11th which is seven days after the Sooners open camp on August 4th. It is estimated that during that time Metoyer could miss up to ten practices but that isn't shaking his confidence at all.
"With me coming in late, I'm going to go in and try to learn plays right away," Metoyer said to The Oklahoman. "But I'm confident I will make it."
It at least appears that this is looking more and more like a positive situation for what many are describing as the crown jewel of Oklahoma's last recruiting class.

Stop. Just stop. We get it. UT chooses which grade risks to take based on their probability of actually committing to UT being able to thrive academically at UT. The academic curriculum for UT student athletes is clearly easy enough for a retard since Vince Young did it uniquely challenging.

You know, I like how we all sit & pass judgements on academics.... at the end of the day does it matter?
I have a great job & a great income. I graduated debt free from OU. That was a choice I made. I got into 3 Ivy League schools, but I did what was best for ME. Its no different. If Metoyer thinks OU puts more emphasis on the WR so be it. If Chase Beeler realizes his future is NOT in football & transfers from OU to Stanford, so be it. It’s a big world out there. Maybe Metoyer couldnt make at UT, so my brother who has a PhD made it 2 semesters. It happens, let it go.
The kid made some academic misteps. Big Deal. If kids * especially in texass** have academic problems due to learning inabilities, there are lots of programs & options for meeting the requirements without failing. My neighbors kid goes to Baylor has a terrific GPA etc & has an aid sit in class with him to take his notes. Lots of schools go to extra lengths for these kids, so dont tell me “Would he last at texass?” about my kid, your kid or a football recruit…. its all the same
