Michael Onuoha - any qualification concerns?

[Sawyer]

This is really a football post (he received a Mizzou offer today), but I know many here are familiar with him, and this is where I first read about him.

His physical tools are off the charts, and it sounds like he did well on the field this year, as well, but this is his first offer. Is there a reason, other than he's still relatively new to football, that has kept teams away? It doesn't quite make sense. Only thing I could figure is teams don't expect him to qualify.

When he was a basketball recruit I never heard anything about poor grades.

Huge qualification concerns.

If you can get him on campus and coaching him up.
His athletic upside is off the charts.

I heard he committed to Missouri for football.

What a shock mizzou is signing some scrub nobody else wants. Gee I wonder why they have been irrelevant for a century?

Enjoy life a notch below Miss. St.

bro, you don't even know this kid. He was good enough for OU to bring in for a visit.

Not so much a commitment as a commitment to commit. His parents are out of the country and he wants to talk with them before making it official, but he's definitely made his intentions known.
