I don’t put much to those Cognitive Test. If the president of the US doesn’t need one… why should anyone else?
Seems like a money grab for the companies that put them out.

I only had a scout team guy for the football team in one of my small breakout sessions for English. He was actually a really good student and great to work with in class, actually engaged unlike a lot of my classmates. Plus, at least at the time (13-14ish) they would come make sure players were at least attending class.
Agreed. Although it still is a remarkable score regardless. I don't think they do much in reality and can see how someone may not do well on that kind of thing for a huge variety of reasons.
I love the Davis brothers for what they did for ISU football but they both probably had their own borderline learning disabilities. Troy had a hard time talking. Keith Murphy has said multiple times on his radio show that some at ISU were worried about him having to give a speech if he won the Heisman.
Nope, Darren.
This listing is from March 2020 (Vince Young among lowest scores, too):
Troy's was also pretty low iirc, but not quite as low as Darren's.
Thankfully, the Wonderlic is basically fake anyway.
I knew several athletes we all thought were less than stellar and had to perform magic to stay eligible. Wrestlers were the worst. One now has a PhD in education and several ended up running companies that were very successful. Eventually motivation and pride bring out the true self.
In today's world this pay for play may never bring out that motivation in these kids. They think the here and now is the end of the rainbow.
I had to make up a history test with a bunch of football offensive linemen. I think they were all pretty smart and went to class regularly but they were traveling during the normal test time. On the other hand, I was making up the test because my writing hand was blistered and bandaged because my roommate dropped a hot oil popcorn popper griddle on it. It was all essay and I took longer than them because my hand was still pretty messed up. They all started comparing how many times they had broken a bone in their hands and dislocated fingers and I felt like a wuss.
Nebraska football / NCAA thinks academics matter.
"Deondre Jackson, the former Texas A&M running back who announced this winter that he was going to play at Nebraska, will not attend NU after all, he announced Tuesday on Twitter.
Jackson could not make an immediate transfer to NU because of academic issues. He will return to the portal and look for a new school."
Blocked from goin to Nebraska over ACADEMIC issues? Holy cow........
I know right? LOL, Frost really is trying to bring back old traditions but keeps finding things standing in his way. Beyond better opposing defenses, better opposing offenses, now he has to fight academics too.
Someone is covering the real reason. No one has academic admission problems at nu.
Yea but you can get away with anything there. If Huskers won't take this guy... I'm surprised whatever he didn't isn't global news.
JP on Murph and Randy just now: basically Hunter sold his NIL to an Agent and in return he gets the equivalent of what he would make jumping to the G league.
So the agency gets to market him to teams in the hopes of getting him to a bigger school with a bigger footprint and can collect on his NIL. Am I understanding that correctly?
But there’s something going on behind the scenes that made him want to leave amirite?
This just gets more and more gross by the day (not just TH but the entire pay for play situation).
Correct. The agent wants him at a blue blood for more exposure.
