VERY reassuring. Especially considering that he's also finding time to work out. Gotta love his work ethic.

If he has a 100% on everything with two weeks to go, he could probably not show up to class and still get a B

Do not say such things

It's quite the bonus for me, I didn't expect him to make it to MSU. Very happy!

It was his GPA that was holding him back, not his ACT score. Usually, low GPA + good ACT score = intelligent kid who didn't always give it 100% in class. I'm sure he'll be working hard once he gets to MSU, considering this academic ordeal and the awesome academic resources at the Smith Center.

Wow - football aside, a great lesson for the kid that he has to have his act together in the classroom/work to accomplish other goals.

So can I. I did nothing in High School back in the 80's.
Got to MSU and was whoa, I had no clue what to do as far as academics and studying went. Took me a semester, but I figured it out. Coasting and putting in no effort would not get me through college.
Made Dean's list 5 times over my final 3 years at MSU while working 2 jobs, I'm proud of that. That was back on the trimester system.

I didn't get into MSU with my good looks, or GPA.

So does this change the coaches recruiting strategy to bring in yet another WR? Or have they been approaching this as though he was a lock to qualify anyway?

I doubt it. The coaches have known about Burbridge's progress for a while now. They still seem to want a taller WR. Burbridge is listed at 6-1. I do expect they'll be handing out a couple redshirts for some of the 2012 guys and probably the 2013 guys as well.

His ACT was a 21. That isn't that bad. He's probably a decently smart kid who wasn't motivated in school, and was more interested in football than class.
Sounds like he's putting it together now.
