Can somebody please explain the concept of doing a PG year to get the kid's grades in order. If the kid hasn't had good grades through 12th grade, what difference does it make if he has a better 13th year? Does the rest of his high school academic record not count? Also, what makes anybody think that a kid's grades will improve dramatically in a PG year? There's absolutely no guarantee that will happen and if he continues to struggle academically, what happens then? Is he and the family screwed because the recruiting train for his grade has left the station?
