Anthony Hitchens is another Akron player, I bet if you dug deep enough, you would find a little fraud, he failed his SAT so many times, he finally passed and kept grades up to play. Hmmmmm
What is failing the SAT, though? it's not a pass/fail test. Did he graduate from high school? If so, he can be admitted to an open admission institution, right? I understand there may be an NCAA min for SAT though. So, did he go as a partial qualifier?

Yes he graduated from Chillicothe High School, I believe you need a 13 to pass SAT If I'm not mistaken his last test he scored an 11, Just sayin some how Dambrot could take dumb students and keep them eligible to play basketball. He had several player that fit that bill. makes you wonder now with this new release.
But he qualified based on his ACT scores. So you have that.

Without knowing what his support environment was leading up to college it's really hard to judge. Putting him in a positive learning environment with tutors and positive academic support could have a huge effect on his learning ability. Not saying that's what happened because I don't know a thing about any of it but there are plenty of stories about kids that thrived in the right environment. Anecdotally, my nephew barely carried a 2.0 in high school and could have earned a D1 scholarship in soccer but he was a horrible student. To the point that he wasn't even allowed to play his Senior season. He decided he wasn't even going to go to college and got a job. During the summer after he graduated he started dating a girl who was headed to UNC on an academic scholarship. She got him motivated and convinced him to enroll in a community college. Long story short, he just graduated from UNC-Greensboro with a 3.6 gpa.

Wow, this post about a young man who earned his college degree is pretty sad, especially when you consider that G-Man doesn’t even know the difference in an SAT or ACT and the scoring. Sad, truly sad. SAT (back then was based on hundreds of points, with a 2400 being the highest, the ACT was scored with a possible of 36. And your “13 to pass”, is not true on either test. In fact, I am willing to bet you cannot explain how the ACT composite works and what you can do by taking the exam multiple times.

Isn't the ACT simply based on the admission standards of the school? There is no pass/fail, but you need a higher score to get into some schools over others.

I like long stories -- Did he stick with the girl? Anyone know what Kenny Kaminski is up to these days?

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

NO, ACT is based on a minimum score for NCAA eligibility and then the schools acceptable score, which is in many places lower than an admission standard of said school. The fact you are commenting on something you 1. Have no clue about. 2. Have not even taken the time to research. 3. You still want to trash a kid based on erroneous facts. 4. You can neither “fail nor pass either the SAT or ACT.

Good JOB

I said I BELIEVE but that's ok, the higher education you have must not understand that meaning, Humpty Hitchens did have problems getting into Akron. Then after his father passed he left.

In today's climate this *could* bring Dambrot down at DU. It'll be interesting to see what the follow up is on this by various media outlets.

Agree. Although I don't necessarily think that it should. But "today's climate" is something I typically disagree with.
