I wonder if this guy scored negative on his Wonderlich. He even went back to high school. Of course he would have graduated summa cum laude at UH.

Entering Ole Miss with a lot of hype, Powe was deemed a "potential freshman star" by some in the media.[2] However, he had not completed the necessary 14 core courses in high school, and therefore was denied freshman eligibility. He spent a year at a prep school in Virginia, Hargrave Military Academy—where he was classmates with Vidal Hazelton, Keiland Williams, and fellow Ole Miss recruit John Jerry—, taking correspondence courses, but was again denied eligibility. The NCAA said at the time that Powe could either return to high school or go to a junior college.[3][4]
Powe returned to Waynesboro to retake courses, attended Penn Foster Career School, a prep school in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and took correspondence courses in 2006. He returned to Ole Miss for the 2007 season, as the NCAA allowed him to practice for 14 days while it sorted out his status in August 2007, then again denied his quest to play for the Rebels.[5] Powe attended Ole Miss in 2007–08 on financial aid but could not practice or participate.
