Eric Bledsoe’s high school grades confliction is still under investigation

Eric Bledsoe’s high school grades confliction is still under investigation


According to reports, the investigations about The Los Angeles Clippers rookie guard Eric Bledsoe in grizzlies jerseys a fraud high school grade is continuing. Currently, the investigators in minnesota timberwolves jersey have already got some evidence: they found the high school transcripts and test records Blaisot in part contradictory.

Bledsoe's four-year transcript shows he made an A in Algebra 3 in night school as a senior by receiving a 90 during each of the two sessions. However, a grade report from those night sessions showed Bledsoe was recorded as making a C average, with a low C recorded in the first session and a low B recorded in the second.


By receiving an A in Algebra 3, Bledsoe in timberwolves jerseys barely qualified for initial eligibility in college, based on the standardized test score his former coach said Bledsoe made. The NCAA determines a player's eligibility through a sliding scale based on grade-point average in 16 core classes and an ACT or SAT score. Former Parker coach Maurice Ford in new orleans hornets jersey was quoted in a New York Times story in May as saying Bledsoe's sum ACT score was a 69. That meant Bledsoe in hornets jerseys needed to jump from a 1.75 core GPA in almost three years at Hayes High School to a 2.475 by the end of his high school career at Parker, his transcript shows. Bledsoe in chris paul jersey ended with a 2.5 core GPA, according to his transcript, making him eligible for a one-and-done season at Kentucky. Bledsoe in chris paul jerseys flourished as a freshman on the court, and his success story continued with his first-round selection in the NBA Draft in June.


If Bledsoe in thunder jerseys had received a C in Algebra 3, as was recorded in the grade report, his core GPA would have been 2.375, according to his transcript. Even a B in the class would have left Bledsoe in oklahoma city thunder jersey short of qualifying, at 2.4375. In a telephone conversation with The Birmingham News, the Algebra 3 teacher, Larry Webster in kevin durant jersey, said the final course grade recorded on the night-school grade report is wrong. "You've got the wrong grade. There are two of those printout sheets. I already talked to the (school) board attorney." He said he wouldn't comment further and hung up.


At the request of the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA), the Birmingham school system hired outside attorneys to investigate Bledsoe's academic records at Hayes and Parker compared to his final transcript. A school system attorney said on Sept. 3 the report is expected soon. ClipperBlog.com said Neil Olshey in durant jersey had long wanted Eric Bledsoe, and was very happy when he became available to him via trade. If he didn’t think Bledsoe had the capablities to develop into the point guard of the future, he wouldn’t have traded a future first (top 10 protected) to get him. Bledsoe will be incredibly up and down and a turnover machine his first year in the league, but he’ll also be the lightning quick scoring guard that are all the rage around the league right now. Think something along the lines of Ty Lawson in Denver.


The NCAA visited Hayes High earlier this year, but the school district has refused to work with college sports' governing body. The district hired an outside law firm at the request of the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) in investigating the matter. Bledsoe was part of arguably the nation's top recruiting class of 2009 under new head coach John Calipari in phoenix suns jersey. The Wildcats' NCAA tournament run ended in Elite Eight against West Virginia. Bledsoe averaged 11.3 points per game and 3.1 assists for the season.
