Any predictions for the sequel?


As we all know Spike just recently announced the sequel for School Daze. While I do understand that the new movie is going to primarily focus on a new cast & the problems the college students face today I'm sure most of us who were fans of the first movie would love to see an update with the original characters so let's make some predictions were they are 25+ years later:

I have two scenarios for Dap: The first scenario involves Dap leaving his Afrocentric behavior behind him & becoming a Republican politician married to a white woman. The second scenario has him and Rachel being married. They're still very Afrocentric but Dap has calmed down since his college days. He's now the head of Black Studies at Mission. Dap & Rachel have a son who's a student at Mission. Unlike his parents Dap Jr. has huge interest in Greek life & joining a fraternity.

Julian aka Dean Big Brother Almighty ended up marrying Dina & is a successful businessman. Julian donates a lot of money to Gamma Phi Gamma & because of this he believes he has the right to tell the fraternity how to run its operations. He still thinks he's Dean Big Brother Almighty. Julian & Dina also have a son who's a student at Mission but he has no interest in following in his father's footsteps. This makes a tense relationship between father and son.

I have two different scenarios for Jane as well. The first scenario involves Jane leaving the Gamma Rays after the humiliation she suffered at the hands of Julian. She's now the dean of female students at Mission. She hates to see so many young women vying to be Gamma Rays & she tries to warn them about the pitfalls of being affiliated with sweetheart groups and sororities. Despite their differences when Rachel heard about what Julian did to Jane she reached out to her & they have been close friends ever since. The second scenario involves Jane marrying Gamma Phi Gamma second in line Patton. While Patton has left most of his Gamma days behind him, Jane is still obsessed with anything black and silver. She pressures her daughter to join the Gamma Rays & to follow her mother's footsteps of becoming queen of the Gamma Court.

Outside of her marrying Dap & becoming good friends with Jane it was hard for me to come up with a scenario for Rachel.

Half Pint was another one that was hard to think of. I picture right after the whole thing with Jane he became somewhat of a ladies man on campus & gained quite the rep.

Doris & Lizzie became lovers. (I got lesbian vibes from those two throughout the whole movie)

Grady is the football coach.

I actually see Monroe being the President of Mission. I know Spike said he wanted Dap to play that role but I think it's too predictable.

What do you think of my predictions/scenarios? Please post your own.

He stated Dap will probably be a Dean or president of Mission College. I can see Munroe in that role though. I hope Dap is just a dean of African American studies.

I guess I'm more unconcerned about where the original characters fit in as more about the issues he will talk about. Sweethearts are all but extinct at HBCU's so idk if he will have the gamma rays. Pledging is no longer out in the open so I'm very interested to see how he will incorporate greek life. I also hope he brings in the issues between students attending HBCUs and PWIs. He def.

So many additional topics to cover: 1st black US president, evolution of Rap / Hip-Hop into mainstream culture, educational debt at an all-time high.
I wouldn't mind if some from the original cast were only seen in cameos, perhaps at an alumni gathering during Homecoming.

I really like your scenarios. Should a sequel ever be made, I can definitely see any of those happening.

I just saw the movie again for the first time in years. It got me to thinking, 'should any of your scenarios involving Julian & Vaughn's sons happen, who could you see playing them?' For Julian's son, I can see either Corbin Bleu (High School Musical) or Evan Ross (Diana Ross' son) playing that part. For Dap's son, I can see Dayo Okeniyi (Thresh from The Hunger Games) playing that.
