Hope for Derrick.
Reading an article about Michael Oher, subject of the move "Blind Side".
In the movie, he starts blossoming academically when teachers discover he can learn. In the book upon which the movie is based, educational ethics are largely trashed by senior year when he's encouraged to replace F's on his transcript with A's by taking some easy 10 day internet courses from Brigham Young--an NCAA eligibility trick that the author labels "the great Mormon grade grub". Those 13 hours of summer school Derrick needs will be a snap if he can just enroll in those BYU courses. Now I know how that Mississippi State player received something like 30 hours in summer school to become eligible a number of years ago.

Maybe he could take some courses at that Junior College that Ron Brewer, Sr. attended the summer before becoming eligible at Arkansas
