RB John Bivens [Nebraska Commit- Walk On]

[Atbone95]

I'm sure that's right.  But he's ... what.... nearly a year-and-a-half out now?  A lot of guys are playing again in 9-10 months.

You right, that's pretty bad.

He was special when he was healthy. Hope he finds his way back into a field

Anyone know what the story is with him?

Anyone know what the story is with him?

I don't think anyone really knows.

But I saw some speculation over the last week that possibly some FBS programs that were interested were floating the idea of him going to a JUCO for a year.  He could show that he has recovered and, as a full qualifier, would only have to stay one year before (potentially) transferring to an FBS program.

No idea if that's legit but it might be one option he's weighing.

why send him to a juco and lose a year? why not go the basketball route and send him to a prep school?

because it makes WAY too much sense to do what you suggest.

How prevalent in football is prep school? I don't think I can remember a guy going to prep school instead of JuCo to save a year.

DId Keiron WIlliams attend a prep school?  Thought that was where we got him.

 

[seaofred92]

Casey Rodgers attended a prep school too. 

They're really common in CT. Michigan has been recruiting the hell out of them the last few years. 

 

[spurs1990]

Is the rational between juco and prep school just grade admittance then? Otherwise, why don't we push guys like Watt from last year to do that if we want them back?

maybe it has to do with being a full qualifier? Im not sure and its a question I would like to know the answer to as well.

Still hasn't signed anywhere.  Speculation is he has academic issues as well.

 

[Billsantosa]

Some weird rumors with no legs yet that he is coming to Nebraska as a walk-on.  Not sure I buy it.

I have been following this as well. It started over on RSS as a poster said he was informed from a school booster and then it was confirmed through a co-worker who is Biven's aunt. The guys profile name is Ohio4Nu so I guess it's possible that he could know Biven's aunt since he is from Ohio. Not sure I buy it either but something to keep an eye on.
