RE: Is this the most degreed players we have ever had at once
Karl Moton also has his undergraduate degree, I believe.
I love seeing these guys live up to the student aspect of student-athlete and get their degrees. I love seeing them take advantage of the opportunity they have been given to get a college degree. And I love that they are getting their degrees from my alma mater! Go Blazers!

I really like it that Haase was Academic All-Conference as a soph, then an Academic All-American as a junior and senior. It means he knows that getting it done in the classroom is possible and that he can demand it of his team without getting any lip about it.

I vaguely may recall that when Carter Long received his degree, that Reginald Allen also received his as well as Frank Haywood.
Just trying to remember.

I was listening to memphis radio and an interview with an outgoing Tiger football player who had received his degree prior to his senior season. He said this season, he was working on a second degree and taking a lot of online courses.
Do our players take online courses too, specifically if they have graduated already. is there an NCAA rule limiting the number of online courses a student athlete can take?
Yes Players can take online courses. they have to have at least one class on campus. that goes for undergrad as well as post grad.
Was the Memphis player a 5th year senior or 4 year. I would have had my degree if i played a fifth year.
