Any Update on Myles Hinton?

Submitted by njvictor on September 10th, 2019 at 11:17 PM

There have been rumblings of a potential flip of high 4* OT Myles Hinton (Brother of Chris) flipping from Stanford for a little while now and those continued after Myles visited for the MTSU game.

Has anyone heard any news about this?

It’s not a flip, it’s hard to get into Stanford. If he gets in he is going there if he doesn’t he’s going to Michigan, you’ll know when he finds out his admission

I wouldn't say that football players frequently get denied there, since the football staff is pretty selective in who in they offer.  The admissions office is "supposed" to have the same standards for football players as regular students. Now whether that is true or if they just have higher standards than most school for football players (but still less than typical students), who knows

I always thought it was garbage that schools lowered their academic standards for athletes, but as I get older I realize that there really truly is something special about being a world class athlete that goes beyond athletics.  You want your school to have an opportunity to mold that kind of clay.  Dan Dierdorf, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Charles Woodson, Jim Harbaugh and Desmond Howard, could have been a notch below coming out of highschool, but you'd never know it. 

 

 ...and don't cherry pick some isolated incident to dis those guys.  Is WestQuad going to have to choke a bitch?

Chalky - I remember seeing an article a couple of years ago talking about Stanford recruiting & it said that if you are interested in going there you need to start talking to their admissions people your Junior year of high school.  There are often special courses that they need you to take or additional things that need to be done to gain acceptance & even after you've done all of that there is still a chance that you don't get in.   

So yes it is really tough to get in there even for an athlete

Can someone please tell me why Pitbull is on the banner?  I must have missed something the years i have read here.

I was a HUGE advocate of changing the old banner.  But give me that old banner back any day instead of having this Napoleon complex dweeb, ugly mother fucker forced down my retina every day!  Ugggh.

If its just an inside joke - ok.  Get it.  But can it be temporary?

I live here in Atlanta and know one of his coaches well. He thinks he is a lock to Stanford. This was about 5 weeks ago that I asked him. I can see if he has any thoughts about his visit and if that swayed him. 

 

This is is officially the only insider information I will ever have about anything. I’m pretty sure of that - I guess unless we are recruiting anyone else from GAC.

He visited for the Army game. It was a surprise visit. I was on the field. Him, his father and mother stood next to me for about three minutes. He's a real big kid.
