I would seriously recommend asking about getting him enrolled in Iowa Western Community College for a year. They have a fantastic program there as JUCOs go and it's literally right across the river from NU.
He could go there for a year to get his academics in order, more playing experience, etc. and be well prepared for D1 ball in the future.
Great I'll let him know your suggestion. Also Hedley I'm pretty sure it's his mismatched Swedish to American credit hours.
