Clouse was on Unsportsmanlike Conduct Tuesday afternoon and confirmed Blades still has work to do academically

IMO:

I tend to think that this means, he is on track, but needs to pass his classes that he is currently taking.

Worst case is he has to do some summer work and can't show up until August. Which would mean he would have to Redshirt. Which might not be the worst thing?

I don't think it's a guarantee he RS's even in that situation. We are scary thin at CB.

Agree with Matty on the academic part. As for Blades and a Redshirt, he will not RS.

 
So, sounding like its coming down to the wire on grades. Anybody have any update on what things may be looking like? Is he gonna make it to campus?

 
Won't know for sure on his eligibility until his semester is over June 1. May have to take a summer class or two before being able to report to Lincoln.

Ran a 10.72 100 meters in track this spring.

Exactly. He has 4 classes he has to make good grades in. He finds out in early June if he got good enough grades or if he will need to stay and take some summer school before reporting.

 
Academic support may not exist where he goes to high school, and it surely wasn't on the level he will receive at UNL if it does. He will be alright.

Man, college is going to be a struggle if getting out of high school with a passing gap is a push.

Alot of this happens when kids enter H.S. They dont do well freshman or sophmore years and get way behind. End up having to retake a lot of first and second year classes while still taking current year courses. Get pretty overloaded.

If you're basing this info on the interview on 1620 this afternoon then I'd say you may have misinterpreted what Clouse was saying. What I got from that was Clouse said Blades was not here yet and has some online classes to finish up, which Clouse said he expected to get done. However, he did say that perhaps the reason we are staying in contact with a lot of 2018 DBs may be due to wanting to have a replacement ready if Blades doesn't make it.

He sounded more optimistic in their podcast. Sean did as well. no matter how you cut it Blades and Watts have work to do. Both integral in the future of our defense.
