Hey looks the the kid is prioritizing things, get his grades in line and sign in February. Hopefully everything works out for him and NebraskaNot a good sign

Maybe someone like @Tuco Salamanca knows the academic rules better than me, but even if Betts fails to graduate in the Spring, he can still take summer school and pass and still graduate. I think he could still enroll at UNL and be on the team. The summer classes are mainly by computer and if you work hard and get your stuff together, you can pass in a couple of weeks.
Well he clearly isn’t “flunking out of Bell West”. So I’m going to go ahead and take your assessment of his academic standing with a grain of salt.Academics. Believe me, you have to try really hard to flunk out of Bellevue West. Lets just say he has been, well, lackadaisical with academics. Sometimes the lightbulb doesn't kick in until it is too late and kids start realizing the $$$ they are laying on the table by not taking care of the grades.
I really doubt it’s a matter of him not graduating. It’s a sliding scale between ACT score and GPA to pass the NCAA Clearinghouse.Maybe someone like @Tuco Salamanca knows the academic rules better than me, but even if Betts fails to graduate in the Spring, he can still take summer school and pass and still graduate.

I'm not sure. I suppose the University could have a different policy than the school? I happened to have been on Academic Probation at one point in my UNL career. My retake grades were taken over my original failing grades. One of my kids failed some classes at Bellevue West and had to retake in the summer. I don't know that I looked at the GPA to see how they figured it.Please correct me if I’m wrong but I believe if you retake a class the original grade still counts toward your GPA. If you go from a D to a C in the same class both grades are still figured into the GPA.
Fair enough. He has some grade issues. I just equate that to not graduating. My son at West had some of the same issues. Of course, you can graduate with a D average in this day and age but not qualify for college at the same time.I really doubt it’s a matter of him not graduating.

Wow your really pessimistic. We’re pulling for the kid to make grades, which it sounds like that’s exactly what he’s going, so your basically saying the kid isn’t to bright and will end up at some juco or won’t ever enroll. Might be better to encourage the young man or just don’t post negative stuffChalk up another 4 star that never signs with us
Pessimistic aka douche.Wow your really pessimistic.

Year ago when I played high school football you had to keep your grades up or you didn’t play, same went for baseball and wrestling. Do the high school today not have any rules like that or do they just no enforce them?I don't get how these kids don't get it. All the camps and testing they do doesn't mean squat if you don't get acceptable grades. Are they not told this by recruiters, high school coaches, rivals, camps???
Pessimistic aka douche.
Or they are really just douches.People who are more often correct are usually douches to the stupid tribe of society
I'd be careful here. he would know.Or they are really just douches.
Typically you have no pass no play rules. But as been discussed on here before, passing and graduating get you a diploma but does not qualify you to play college football.Year ago when I played high school football you had to keep your grades up or you didn’t play, same went for baseball and wrestling.

I hope he pulls through. But how often do you see a top 100 recruit get next to no attention from big programs? How come Notre Dame Tennessee Michigan et cetera were recruiting Watts but weren't giving Betts the time of day? His GPA is abysmal. From what I have heard it's below a 2.0. He has a long way to go to qualify so excuse me if I seem a little pesimistic because I know his commitment has always been an empty one.Wow your really pessimistic.

“What I heard”.. Get out.I hope he pulls through. But how often do you see a top 100 recruit get next to no attention from big programs?

Don’t use your fancy math and common sense here.I am sure I have a reputation for being a bit on the negative side of things, but I have a hard time believing his GPA is below a 2.0 and the coaches are telling him that there is a path to being a full qualifier.. If his GPA was below a 2.0 you would have to score in the 26 range on your ACT. Even with a 26ish score you would come in as an academic redshirt. He must be able to get the GPA up to the 2.3 needed, which would require him to get 23ish score and still be a full qualifier. JMHO
This was anticipated. He would be foolish and it would be bad for us to sign him until he's fully qualified. I think he'll be fine when it's all said and done.Not a good sign
Well I think he has point. This continues to happen to the program, and he's calling it out for what it could be.Wow your really pessimistic.

I know it was anticipated. But “anticipated” or not, it is not a good sign that he is still struggling with grades. Glad he is not signing. I don’t want him taking up a scholarship that could go to someone who will, you know, actually show up here. I am not opposed to taking a chance on the kid, but let’s not be blinded by his talent either. Too many recruiting busts at that position. We need solid, reliable recruits right now at that spot. We don’t need anymore drama.This was anticipated. He would be foolish and it would be bad for us to sign him until he's fully qualified. I think he'll be fine when it's all said and done.
