What about Thursday's and Friday's?

Then, there is the issue of test norming and cultural bias.

There are a lot of reasons why not everyone may do well on standardized tests and it doesn't necessarily have to do with intelligence. Not all of our recruits come from your background and, in fact, a majority of those from outside of Iowa probably don't.

nope went to the 11th largest school in the state, worked multiple jobs during high school and was involved in 3 sports a year, and multiple clubs, both my parents work full time. but hey that just destroys your case.

Hey don't start bringing yoga pants into this!

Apparently they didn't teach capitalization, punctuation, or proper grammar at the 11th largest school in the state.

If you are going to post about how wonderful you are it would be wise to make some attempt to properly spell and punctuate.

I spent literally no time preparing also and got a 20. Had under a three point in HS and still got into ISU. I will note I made it to Dean's List almost every Wednesday night and made Dean's List one semester while I was there.

Since we are going there, I took the ACT in 7th grade as part of a tag program and got a 18. I took it in 9th grade and got a 21.

Rivals lists Simon s the #47 corner IN THE COUNTRY!

The CB listed #48 is committed to LSU.

Simon has an offer from THE Ohios State University and he is coming to ISU to visit. That is awesome no matter what his test scores are. As long as he qualifies, that's all that matters at this point.
