Heard he didn't make grades to enroll at OU and we might be able to pick him up assuming he could qualify to UNL

This has been speculated as the 'surprise' of today

 

[QMany]

Wow that would be a pleasant surprise.

With all due respect to OU, does NU really have a more lenient academic qualification standard than them?

No, but often how schools count and accept transfer credits differs dramatically. Even affiliated schools such as UNL and UNO can differ.

How does that work if he "signed" early but doesn't qualify?

Happens every year with almost every team. Those players can't participate in school or football until cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse.

From what I heard on the radio and gathered from another guy, there is a class that OU didn't accept that NU will. If he really wants to go to OU he will have to go back to JUCO to satisfy that class or he can just come here.

Do we need OU to release him though? All sites reporting him signed.

Questions being

Will OU stick with him now that he can't enroll early?

How bad does he want to go to OU?

I'm guessing he sticks with OU but there is a possibility.

A reporter with huskers online (???) said on radio show today that this could be one to watch with his situation.
