That’s great. When I was a player and yes it was LONG ago everyone on the team helped contribute to any success we had as a team. Hell if he played in the playoffs and had stats he help contribute. Not bad for a 5’9” guy that weighed 165 pounds. I do like his coaching resume too. Coaching mentor has been Tony Annese over the last 10+ years and his 1st head coaching job was taking over an SVSU program under NCAA violations and had barely 40 players on the roster. Somehow went 5-6 in his 1st year then 7-4 and last year was 8-3 with wins over Bowie and Indianapolis. I just find it comical that GVSU speaks so badly over one of their former players and grads. Is it to much to wish the best for a former Laker? Postma is a Cardinal guy deep down but we wish him the best.
When I first started this site, SVSU was a great team. It's good to see the program be a factor again.

Lol yup we have had some real beauties that is for sure and we take the craziest transfers too. At least I admit it and don’t cry about the admission policy that is basically equal at all GLIAC schools. To think GVSU loses to Ferris because of academics standards and the kids Ferris has access to is different than the kids GVSU does is a little insane since the schools offer scholarships to the same kids coming out of high school. It all comes back to the original subject this Scott Wooster hire, remember that. With such great academic standards can Scott Wooster take the next step? Kle you should be ashamed of yourself, you joker.2021 D2Football Fantasy Champion

No just shocked comparing the 2 resumes that Brady is still a Cardinal as I thought GVSU was suppose to be the top DII school in the country and they hired a guy with no HC experience and has been at Wayne State for the majority of his coaching career. Not even a coordinator, just surprising for such a prestigious university like GVSU.
I think it's more about the man than the title.

Again, you seem to be unable to understand how the schools themselves have different academic standards for who they will consider for admittance, regardless of the NCAA eligibility minimums lol. I don't know how else to explain it to you. I've done it multiple times now. There are recruits that Ferris and SVSU can admit which GV can not because of the *school's* standards and limits on special talent exceptions. I don't know if you're just not understanding this, or if you just plain don't believe it. Do you realize that Harvard and North Dakota State are both subject to the same NCAA eligibility requirements, but Harvard still does not accept the same academic profiles that NDSU can? Or is this just.....not a concept you understand? I'm being specifically hyperbolic with this example. I am not comparing GV to Harvard lol I'm simply asking if you understand this concept.

I disagree with this notion. You're not alone with it, but I'm simply using your post as a means of replying.. I think players, Brady especially, ARE Grand Valley or any program. With exceptions, coaches are most likely transitory employees. No one can take away Brady's letters or contributions.

Here is a list of the academic elite in DII. MTU and Davenport seem pretty good and Hillsdale is at a completely different level. I do like the graduation rates at GVSU for their athletes.

Colorado Mines, Missouri S&T, and South Dakota Mines are often among the lists of best colleges. They were missing from the list.

I just have a hard time believing you know anything about the inner doing at GVSU or any other school’s admissions policy or how many special people they let in. Maybe GVSU lets in 5 and Ferris lets in 15 who knows? Do you know how many of these special exceptions are on the GVSU team or how many the administrators allow with your insider informative?2021 D2Football Fantasy Champion

Back in my college days, if I were a football recruit, I'd have been accepted at GV as normal with my middle 50% GPA and ACT score for my incoming freshman class that year. If I were a football recruit today at GV, I'd have to be subject to the special talent admissions board and hope my GPA and ACT were just okay enough, paired with my superior athletic talent (lol) to earn special admission, because I would definitely not be accepted by the regular admission standards GV uses these days.
There's no set standard that schools use. There's no formula like "well if our incoming freshmen have a 3.5 GPA and a 30 ACT, we'll only accept 3-star football recruits who have at least a 2.5 GPA and 25 ACT, but if they're 2-star football recruits they need to have a 2.7 GPA and a 27 ACT" or anything.
They're case-by-case hearings, generally attended by representatives from the admissions department, faculty, athletics, and coaches, to discuss what kind of special academic advisement will be given to the recruit to make sure they perform well, academically, if admitted. The number of times this happens varies from school to school. All depends how the higher-ups operate. If a school tells their football coaches they can only get 5 special admittance kids each year, then the coaches probably aren't gonna submit 30 kids for the process. They're gonna pick-and-choose to stay in the good graces of the people who sign their paychecks.Last edited by KleShreen; 01-22-2023, 11:29 PM.2021 D2Football Fantasy Champion
