It was subtle sarcasm in response to the also sarcastic "we didn't want him anyway" response
Sounds like he still graduates, just needs an academic redshirt year to qualify.
How about we await details before we publicly railroad the kid? Frost seems like a no nonsense kind of coach and is still trying to help this young man get on campus, so I’d be surprised if he did anything too reprehensible.
So just put Ozigbo on the OL. He's almost big enough and knows there the run plays are going...
Merely graduating is not the point. He can graduate but if he does not have the required 16 credits in "core" classes it doesn't matter. A school can have lesser standards for graduation than the NCAA does. Only rigorous classes count such as Algebra 1 and higher, no art, vocational, adjusted classes, etc. Google is your friend.

Confidence and poor decision making are two different things entirely. Probably alot of people on this board also think that we need some (bad) dudes in order to get back on top.
We know that he was expelled from school but we're all assuming that this is or isn't criminal in nature. This would be a question for Coach Frost and not something to speculate on a message board.
I loved the kid's confidence. Agree with most that this looks like Blades part deux. However, there is a new staff in town so things are different admissions wise.
I'd prefer to defer to the Head Coach rather than rampant speculation.
It appears that Held is recruiting his ass off anyway which is a welcome sight as far as I'm concerned.
Question for the fellow recruitniks, were we taking three this year regardless of how this scenario turns out? TIA
Held improves NUs RB recruiting a kiloparsic or so. If NU helped him find a high school in CA, then they certainly haven’t dropped him.
@Tuco Salamanca had us taking only 1 RB, but we now have 2. Its hard to imagine that we need more than 2 in this class, even without Washington showing up.
I am less concerned about getting him here than him being successful as a college student once he does arrive. So far, his track record is not stellar and you don't get to this point without leaving some holes in your education, determination outside the playing field and ability to adapt for your own best interests.
This is a very true statement as I have managed two private schools. Repeated dress code, disrespect of any kind, lack of self control, inappropriate language, absences, and there is an entire list of things that are common every day occurrences in public schools that many private schools have a low tolerance for.
Yup, just like Bryson Williams (whom I believe will be solid for Wisconsin).
Severe on the Bottom Line a few days ago sounded like Juco was not a great option for this kid
I’ll go out on a limb and guess this isn’t a dress code issue. I also doubt they are going to expel this kid with a couple of weeks of school left for something minor.
Sure, but that wasn't the point originally brought up, it was that standards are much different at a private Christian School.
Yeah at a "Christian" school he could have been caught looking at a white girl. Some of these private schools in Texas are barely educational institutions. The last one Sanders was associated with was a joke.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not?
Okay....Just more pure conjecture on your part, more total BS to throw at the wall?
Have you ever attended a private school? There are some things those schools have zero tolerance for and it’s different for every school. TruHusker listed off several, speaking from experience it doesn’t matter if it’s 2 weeks or 2 semesters from graduation. Zero tolerance is zero tolerance. A senior in at my school was expelled from smoking ditch weed growing adjacent to campus. He violated school rules. Zero tolerance
The Board voted, kid got to graduate somewhere else
depending on the number of core classes he might be able to pick those up in summer school.
I have plenty of experience dealing with private schools, thanks.
If it was something as trivial as a repeated dress code violations, I can promise you the kid and his family would be all over social media complaining about it. The fact that they aren’t, tells you that it was something more serious than dress code violations.
As I said, 99% of the people who do this for a living, have stated he was on track to graduate from TCA and get to Nebraska by the fall. Now he isn’t.
To me, this is simply another case of people wanting to believe it is something small to keep hope alive.
Not sure where you get 99%.
According to this article teams backed off from Washington before signing day due to grade issues.
