Impressive! Scored on his debut and never looked back!

That should be Sandre Wilson, not Sandraw.

Jamaicans in NAIA

I think marathon in college might only be naia/d3 or something. but not positive and im too lazy too look it up.

It is a NAIA school but the fact is, it is easier to get in as you don't have to go through the strict NCAA rules and guidelines and age requiremet. Many good players transfer to other top schools after a year or two with decent grades and Shaun Francis made it to the MLS from NAIA. They may still play D1 and D2 schools during their season as the setup in the US is weird.

There was actually an investigation about this player last year as it was revealed that in his six or seven years at STETHS he never sat an exam or do any external exams

[Mosiah]

well, he's now at university abroad. stop badmind di yute!

[Sickko]

see it deh... then again NAIA schools really dont give a hoot about academics

[Assasin]

Not true Sickko.

I remember Ali Cole was suppose to go to a NAIA school and couldn't come up with the documentation of school work and he wasn't accepted. Many of the NAIA schools are Catholics and academics is a must. They just don't use SAT as the measuring stick for entrance but every other measurements are used.
