True.  There are minimal threshold requirements that the HS player must meet to qualify for NCAA eligibility.

Pierre was well below the line due to his academic performance his first two years of high school.  He made a big push the final two years to get above the line, and was only able to clear those minimum thresholds by a hair after completing an extensive summer workload of courses, which included several online courses.

It is possible that Syracuse didn't admit him despite [ostensibly] being above the minimum thresholds for NCAA eligibility because there were questions about the courseload he took to get his head above water.  Or they might have felt that some of the classes used to fulfill core course requirements wouldn't pass muster in the NCAA clearinghouse.  Or they might have not admitted him for other, undisclosed reasons.

But it IS possible to meet minimum academic thresholds for NCAA eligibility and not be admitted to SU.
