teachercd Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Transcripts will not be an issue unless he changed schools a few times or went to a charter school, which as far as I know he did not. I mean, unless there is something super weird. I dont mean to sound like a know it all but I am just talking from experiences with kids coming into K-12 schools. The only issues are lots of transfers and weird charter schools. Quote Link to comment

Hope they already had his paperwork, UNL offices are closed this week, so they only have 5 days to process everything before classes start the following Monday. And he still has to make it through the NCAA Clearinghouse. Quote Link to comment

blackshirts5115 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Well here's the deal. It's obviously looking good because Braylon got an 18, BUT... he needs a 71 cumulative. If you take 71 divided by 4 (the number of sections on the ACT), that is equal to 17.75, which is rounded up to 18. The problem is, a 17.5 is also rounded up to an 18, and a 17.5 is only a cumulative score of 70, leaving him one point short. Basically, Braylon may have gotten a 70, 71, 72, or 73 cumulative score based on him telling us that he scored an 18. As long as he didn't get a 70, he will make it in. So basically think of it as a 75% chance that Braylon is N! Quote Link to comment

Thanks for breaking it down and being a voice of reason but this is celebration time! Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 let's wait till we get word that he has stepped foot on campus before we drink the koolaid. Once we here he's there... let all out partying begin on this board. Quote Link to comment
irieboy8 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 congrats braylon.... everyone is really proud of you and are quite happy with your accomplishments in getting the scores you need you RB AG (and dont forget DR which i really hope will come along.. had high hopes for him this season and not just in clean up time... seems like he took a step back in a way) will reall lead the way in the B10 Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Stargazer question here: Will he show up on our rivals rankings page? If so when? Oh, and I know, stars don't matter.........until you have a top 10 class and then they kick a$$!! Quote Link to comment

gratefullred Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 No news from Heard or the coaches on spring enrollment. Classes start Monday and I am nervous again. Does a student have 2 weeks after classes begin to still enroll? I'm not sure, just remember Diaz the basketball player. Quote Link to comment

Probably in last years class. actually i believe he is considered part of this years class...not sure thou his scholarship counts against this year's 25 man limit (2011). i have no idea about (and even less concern for) which class the recruiting marketers place him.

C N Red Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Don't think gratefulred is worried about recruiting class, he's worried about him gettin into actual academic classes. The NCAA clearinghouse has not cleared Braylon yet and really no word on it. I'm not sure how long he would have to enroll. I would think the NCAA would pick it up in his case so he can enroll as soon as possible if he clears so he doesn't get behind or if he doesn't he can move on. Quote Link to comment
BSHusker Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I heard that his sum ACT score (each individual score added together) did not meet the 70 required by the NCAA. Hopefully he can get it together. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 He missed by 1 point, and will take it again in the spring. Quote Link to comment
