Unless standards are different for talented football players the uncompleted academic work might be more of a toe stubber than getting a waiver to play right away. Universities have some fairly ubiquitous requirements for academic standing for admission. I just don't see him playing anywhere this fall.According to Sean Callahan...JD has not graduated, and he also had an incomplete academic term for the spring semester of 2020. In order to play, he’ll need a waiver to get immediate eligibility and he would have to get a waiver for not completing an academic term.
I remember watching a video from last years games. His blocking was atrocious. Just going through the motions. He definitely did not buy in last year and it showed. Good luck to him
Am I the only one who thinks that maybe JD isn't exactly following the advice his dad might be giving him. I can not imagine a parent telling his kid to bail at this stage of the game. I would think you would suck it up for 3 months and then move on. Who knows. Maybe he got his coursework completed online and took enough summer classes to graduate by fall. That would seem like a long shot given his progress for the previous 3 and a half years.I remember watching a video from last years games. His blocking was atrocious. Just going through the motions.

I know some players wear smart bracelets 24/7I've never really cared to be 'in the loop' but are we tracking player's cellphone locations these days?
I am not sure how he can transfer, but he has put his name on the portal. I am OK with it, but I’m sure others are freaking out.
Yeah he is going to be a Jackrabbit !being from south dakota, would love to see him play for the jackrabbits. #1 love are my huskers and very disappointed he didn't return, but, something i accepted quite awhile ago.
No I just think he's a crappy punt returner. He had no business being back there but for our genius ST's coordinator/LB coach last year.Explains a lot of the "muffed" punts as well. Almost reminded me of performances during the Riley era from guys that looked like they were purposely playing like shit.
He did have two career punt return TDs... we’ve had much worse... and considering the coaching we had on special teams, he did better than most would have done.No I just think he's a crappy punt returner. He had no business being back there but for our genius ST's coordinator/LB coach last year.
Our defense hasn’t “lit up” anyone in years. That needs to change. Perhaps this will be it. LolI don't understand the well wishes. His mindset I cannot understand. I do hope he goes back to Minnesota. He will get his waivers. He plays the Huskers as a Gopher, I hope he gets lit up.
SCSU dropped their football programmaybe adam theilen will help connect him to the staff at st cloud state or wherever
too bad it worked out this way, he was a good player for us

Nice try. It would be more likely he is sick of some of our stupid “fans” who post here.Great athlete seems like a great kid. Crappy situation though. He can't just hope martinez plays better if he wants to go pro. Wish him the best.

He’ll get the waiver but will he qualify academically with an incomplete semester? That’s the bigger question in my opinion.He will absolutely get the waiver. I have always thought he would, should he pursuit it.
It was my understanding that while away from Lincoln he was taking online courses. I’m not sure he has an incomplete semester like has been reported.He’ll get the waiver but will he qualify academically with an incomplete semester? That’s the bigger question in my opinion.
I haven’t heard that but I’m not plugged in anywhere. What have you heard to say that he has? Not saying you’re wrong, just curious.It was my understanding that while away from Lincoln he was taking online courses. I’m not sure he has an incomplete semester like has been reported.
Found a part of an article saying he remained enrolled below, it’s from when he left the team for personal reasons. I don’t remember exactly where I saw he was taking online courses though I believe I saw it in a tweet but I can’t find it now.I haven’t heard that but I’m not plugged in anywhere.

Thanks for this. If true, it’s only a matter of time before we see him committed to Minnesota, in my opinion.Found a part of an article saying he remained enrolled below, it’s from when he left the team for personal reasons.

“According to the university’s registrar’s office, Spielman remains enrolled in classes. Spielman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”
I think the kid should just retire. He doesnt want to deal with the adverse parts of football, has no real chance in the NFL, and will be hit hard over the middle over and over at Minnesota just as much as he was here. He was a tough kid and played his ass off for us nonetheless.
Right the timing of this makes zero sense. Stays with Frost for 2 years but the last year he decides he can't take it and wants to leave. The hoops he will have to jump through waiver wise to even have a chance to play vs just staying at Neb for 6 more months and finishing. Plus the potential to set many Nebraska Wr records.Am I the only one who thinks that maybe JD isn't exactly following the advice his dad might be giving him.

I think anyone paying attention the last few months knew this was coming. His transfer options are slim. The ONLY way I see him being able to is to apply for a mental hardship waiver. With everything going on I doubt he gets denied. This would allow him to not have to sit and play right away. I would bet money this is the route he takes. If he isn't playing in a gopher uniform next fall I will be shocked.
Yes Sir.Please let this be the last post ever about JD. I'm sick of seeing it.
McQuitty called out Frost in some tweets today after some hero called out McQuitty and Williams for being lazy. Basically said that Walters was the fall boy and that Frost made all the calls from plays to playing time. Basically said Frost already knew who was going to play and didn't really give anyone else a chance.
Probably some truth to it but probably a whole lot of butthurt. But it is out there for the twitterverse to see. So there is that

I don't think he has a release to play for any BIG team as per podcast. Robins speculation was North Dakota State or a team in that level so he would not require a waiver to play. The only waiver would be for incomplete class load. Nate agreed saying that JD has put up the numbers at D 1 level so it won't matter if he wants to continue his football career.I don't understand the well wishes. His mindset I cannot understand. I do hope he goes back to Minnesota. He will get his waivers. He plays the Huskers as a Gopher, I hope he gets lit up.
Every guy riding the bench thinks he's better than the guys getting PT. Butthurt indeed.McQuitty called out Frost in some tweets today after some hero called out McQuitty and Williams for being lazy.

And every fan thinks they knows what is actually going on in the locker room and on the team. As I said, probably a whole lot of butt hurt, but there is may well be some truth to what he says as well.Every guy riding the bench thinks he's better than the guys getting PT. Butthurt indeed.
