I emailed his dad, asked him to inform me if there was a donation link. His reply wasn't about the donation link request but instead he spoke positively about the health of his son and how he's recovering and will soon be home. He also congratulated our beloved Huskers on the win over MSU and signed off with Go Big Red!!

God Bless the entire Family and Best wish for a full and Speedy recovery JD

It's an unfortunate situation for the guy, but you don't want to be committing any recruiting violations.

If that's an NCAA violation, then so be it. Some things are more important than football and WAY more important than silly rules.

Perhaps an appropriate response would be to use this event as a catalyst to donate to a local hospital? My guess is the only reason you know of this guy is because of the recruiting process, that doesn't mean there aren't other needs out there. It sucks that there's potential for stuff like that to be a recruiting process, but rules and rules and sometimes you just have to abide by them.

 
At the university I went to... there were some track runners who were on scholarship from Kenya... they were so poor they didnt have money to buy any dorm stuff so a nice old couple at the university bought a couple of them microwaves and some socks and underware. The NCAA found out about it and took away half of our scholarships across all of track and football for 3 years. So that one sweet, kind, good hearted couple ended up costing the school something like 90 scholarships (D2). So just remember... small acts of kindness to recruits can be deadly to university athletic programs.

 
All this violation talk is for not... JD's dad is well aware of the negatives and as a result wouldn't risk it. He is however very humbled by the emails and letters that have come in from Husker Nation.

 
at this point dont matter of the kid comes here or someone else... just hope for great and fast recovery... just glad that the kid is getting love still and people are smart enough to realize the kid still has a great chance of being a stud in college......
